Why Homosexuals are the average Christian’s victim of choice

This makes a pretty good argument, I think:

But if you read such passages looking for any excuse to exempt yourself from the apostle’s condemnation, this offers an ideal escape hatch. Preaching against self-love, ingratitude, love of money or love of pleasure can be a two-edged sword. But if you’re heterosexual, and you’re preaching against homosexuality, then you’re safe. You’ve found the ideal target for self-exempting, self-justifying self-righteousness.

(Tangential to the Left Behind stuff, found in the same place.)

    Wow, this Slacktivist guy sure is some heretic ;).

    I agree, “teh ghey lol” is easy to rant against without risking one’s own neck in the process. Them, and computational linguists.

    Angus:

    hey, linguists are cool! We have real jobs that may or may not be completely unrelated to the degrees we did :P

    Although the ones that deal with computers are technically also computer scientists, so I really can’t answer for that insanity :D
