Biblical Truths

March 05, 2004

In his peice today, Where Is My Gay Apocalypse?, Mark Morford says,

"Maybe you didn't know. Shrimp are evil, as are all shrimp eaters. Clams, too. Hey, it's in the Bible. You can look it up. Why the Right is attacking homosexuals in love and not, say, Red Lobster, remains a mystery."
I've given up a long time ago picking which parts of the Bible are absolutely not worth attributing to God. Some people today swear the book is the difinitive word of God, going so far as to suggest homosexuals will bring the fate of Sodom and Gomorah to our nation.

If that's the case, I suppose the only thing hotter than a 12 peice shrimp plate at Red Lobster after Sunday school are the flames of Hell. I'm not sure who the Bible says will get their faster, those that gobble these buttered abominations or screaming queens scrambling for Cher tickets.
