Homosexuality predates Christianity.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

People tell me that some things are an acquired taste, but they don’t tell me why I should work to acquire a taste I don’t already have.

My knees went snap crackle pop. I hate standing up after sitting for a while.

I prefer to think of them as ‘explanations’.

Ingrown hairs around tit's are the worst.
