My favorite part about psych of religion every week is when half of the class laughs at any mention of the Mormon doctrine because they’ve written off such beliefs as absurd. Really, Christians? Allow me to spell some things out for you.

GOP Debate
A note to let you know that I am in the midst of a political party…as in an actual party, and we are playing that drinking game I posted earlier (see here). As such, I won’t be liveblogging tonight, but feel free to shoot your own submissions and questions, and we’ll get caught up with the GOP trainwreck soon! Much love Supporthumanity

Terry Schiavo question. (Relevant in 2012?) A clarification: “First of all, I didn’t come to her bedside” —Santorum.
………..well thank god for that. After I had to plug my ears through Santorum’s speech, Ron Paul finally came through as the voice of reason: “I would want my spouse to make that decision.” Thank you. Moving on. …to...

I would never have an abortion.

b-u-r-n-i-t-d-o-w-nn:
Sorrry all you pro-choicers. but it’s my choice, and i love babies.
It’s always interesting when people think taking the most socially acceptable position makes them some kind of martyr (see: Christianity, motherhood).
And the idea that, like, having an abortion is some kind of initiation rite into feminism or being pro-choice. I can simultaneously love babies,...

Tumblr searched “sopa” and in my half-asleep state, I didn’t immediately register the fact that the majority of the posts were for Spanish soup recipes.

Just an FYI for erryone

> Things you shouldn’t compare to the Holocaust: things that aren’t the Holocaust.
> Things you shouldn’t compare to rape: things that aren’t rape.
> Things you shouldn’t compare to slavery: things that aren’t slavery.
> Things you shouldn’t compare to homophobia or transphobia: things that aren’t homophobia or transphobia.
It’s that simple.

I accept the Nobel Prize for Peace at a moment when 22 million Negroes of the United States of America are engaged in a creative battle to end the long night of racial injustice. I accept this award on behalf of a civil rights movement which is moving with determination and a majestic scorn for risk and danger to establish a reign of freedom and a rule of justice. I am mindful that only yesterday...

In Celebration of a Man and a Movement
A man whose dream woke the rest of the world. We (as human beings) owe him so much for his character and his undying contribution to our world. As activists, we owe him for the words he spoke which continue to drive us in all future fights against oppression. So to say “thank you”, I am dedicating this post to the some of the specific words that have driven my life, my humanist...

PORN! ...in a political sense
Sometimes I want to mandate the watching of gay porn just so people will stop using the excuse “It just looks weird” or “I’m not used to it” when they freak out about two guys kissing. — GET USED TO IT. Ps, it looks the same as hetero sex. Pps I saw a statistic that said somewhere between 60-70% (maybe higher) of HETERO couples have anal sex. Take that, sodomy...

New Hampshire Caucus!
So caught up in personal life crises going on I completely blanked on tonight! And this is a telling one… So here’s the update: With 54% of the votes in, Romney 37.3% Paul 23.5% Huntsman 17.1% Gingrich 9.9% Santorum 9.9% Perry .7%
Two key things to take from this:
1. If blue states push Romney over Paul (and this still has plenty of time to change)...
There's nothing wrong with sex, people.
strengthissexy:
- Having sex every day. - Saving sex for your wedding night. - Never having sex. - Having sex with different people. - Having sex with one person. - Having sex with a person of your same gender. - Loving sex. - Hating sex. - Being loud. - Being quiet.
The only thing wrong with sex?
When it’s not consensual.
Because that’s not sex. That’s rape.

Santorum Says Gay Parents Worse Than Convicts
“Rick Santorum continued his string of antigay pronouncements while on the trail in New Hampshire, saying a man in jail would be a better parent than a same-sex couple. Santorum claimed to quote an anti-poverty expert while explaining his case.” —Advocate News
…Here’s the thing, though, Sanny. That is a grossly baseless and inaccurate claim. Based on your history,...
