On Fri, 05 Sep 2003 06:20:03 -0700, several witnesses claim to have
seen Gregory Gadow <techbear@serv.net> scrawl a message on the wall:

Another familiar type of lovesong is the passionate or firy variety, usually in tango
tempo, in which the singer exhorts his partner to haunt him and taunt him and, if at all
possible, to consume him with a kiss of fire. This particular illustration of this genre
is called The Masochism Tango.

At the 1993 World Science Fiction Convention, one of the entrant is
the Masquerade was two Klingons, one male, one female, lip syncing
this song. It was called "A Quiet Night At Home." They didn't win,
but they had the audience in stiches.

So to speak.

Shopping list for party favors:

1) whips
2) whipped cream

Oh good, we could have a theme party.

Don't forget the bouquet of thorns.

These fundies don't give a rat's ***** about life or happiness...the only

thing

they care about is control and domination.

Stop giving domination a bad name. :)

Where there's a whip there's a way? :}

BTW, glad to hear that your son and wife pulled through.

He just started 7th grade yesterday.

I'm sterile and have a very low sex drive because of my cancer. I've
been told that with prayer I could become a father. When I tell them
that I don't have the energy to be a parent, and I wouldn't burden a
child with a father who could sicken and die at any time, they scream
that I'm going to Hell.

Hi, I'm a sinner and I'm going straight to hell! Or so I was told today
in a Christian chat room. My crime? Murder? Adultery? Coveting my
neighbors livestock? Or whatever the other 7 Comandments are? Nope.

I'm going to hell for having a vasectomy.

The topic was the evils of abortion and fornication (yeah in a born again
chatroom what were the odds?) and the topic turned to how evil
contraception such as IUD's, the pill and RU486 are. I foolishly piped in
because no contraceptive is 100% effective and because of our ages my wife
and I didn't want another child so I opted for a vasectomy.

Over a dozen people attacked me for having the procedure done, some with
the most un-Christian of language. "You a have defied God's word and
mutilated your body just so you can satisfy your lustful urges!" was a
more or less typical response. I laughed my so hard I nearly fell out of
my chair, but the episode does raise some questions. Namely when did the
uber-xians make the jump from abortion being evil to contraception being
evil? What's next? Will celibecy become evil? Second I thought sex
within the bounds of a "traditional marrage" was okay? But sex within
marrage after a minor medical procedure is now "lustful urges?" Anyone
have a clue what their logic is on this?

If anyone else has had conversations this weird with Xians please post
them, money can't buy entertainment like this.
