You're very funny and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your experiences in Bari. My husband was born there 64 years ago and left when he was 7. For our 30th anniversary, we're hoping to fly to Rome, take a train to Bari, and try to find some "old" family members.

How dare you drag me kicking and screaming to some activist Justice O' the Peace! Keep your hands off my mounded glutes and let me fornicate with my heathen brethren without any sacrifice.

On the other hand, I love you and want to marry you. Alesia will just have to understand.

I've read every single word on this blog and, frankly, can't get enough. I think your navy stuff is every bit as good as Spike Milligan's wartime comic memoirs. I think you are a very talented observational comic writer and i hope you just do more of that. If you want to promote some other aspects of who/what you are/do too, that's just fine by me. Long may you run.

I haven't been on P2 in almost eight years, and when I finally re-subscribed, I was so glad to see you were still on it. You are one of my favorite posters there. You have a remarkable writing talent -- funny, brutally honest, incredibly sincere, great insights -- and you have made me laugh more times than I could count. Keep writing, keep busy and keep looking for a job (I'm looking too -- it ain't easy).

My daughter is a sharp kid and has been taught to observe others behaviors and to think for herself. The Garage is a music venue, not a getting drunk bar. The place is only open when there are musical performances. The regulars in that bar all know me, because I also regularly perform there. The people that own and run that bar all know me and are happy to see me and her come in. I don't drink at all, and add to that the fact that I am 6'7" and weigh in excess of 300 lbs and I don't think her safety is really that much of an issue.

2009-12-21T17:05:40.190-05:00

But where did Jesus himself speak out against Homosexuality? Paul made some obscure references to Homosexuality, but Bible scholars who have studied the original texts in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic all differ on what it was Paul actually said and what it is he actually meant.

As a Christian, whose teachings take priority? Paul or Jesus? Is it the job of followers of the Christ's teachings to judge others and to exclude those who we find lacking in any way?

As for morality, who determines what morality is? In some cultures, Nudity is the norm, it is accepted and is considered no big deal, in others, such as the United States of America, the glimpse of a woman's nipple on a Super Bowl show is considered immoral yet the selling of Erectile Dysfunction medications, as well as Penile Enlargement products is the norm. We flinch at the slightest hint of nudity or sexuality yet calmly ignore and accept the wholesale killing of men, women, and children in Darfur. Which is the greater sin?

In my lifetime, Interracial marriage was considered an immoral act and the Bible was used to oppose it. The Ku Klux Klan also used the bible to support their actions as did Jim Jones, and over 900 of his followers who all felt that they were following the Bible and the Word of God.

Since the beginning of Time, people have invoked God's name for all number of vile and unholy acts.Christianity, a religion that is supposed to be built upon love and compassion for others is no exception. From the original Crusades where on a 2000 mile journey from Germany to Jerusalem where just about every Jew encountered was hacked into pieces or burned alive, all in God's name. Then there was the 3rd Crusade where Richard the Lionhearted had 3000 captives from the town of Acre, Israel (many of whom were women and children) killed, while Bishops watched and gave Blessings. A crusade took place against Albigenses Christians in southern France. When it was all said and done soldiers reportedly asked their papal adviser how to distinguish the faithful from the infidel among the captives. The Emissary of God replied: "Kill them all. God will know his own." Nearly 20,000 people were slaughtered -- many first blinded, mutilated, dragged behind horses, or used for target practice. Because that's what God wanted done, because they were the wrong kind of Christians. Then there was the Inquisitions, Oliver Cromwell's actions against the Catholics in Ireland, the 30 year war, Christianity being brought to the Indians of North and Central America even if it killed them which it often did.

Protestants are no less guilty than Catholics in their crimes against others in God's name. Segregation was God's Will, the same as the current stance toward Homosexuality.

All of this and more have been done in God's name, however, Jesus never spoke of torture and killing in his name. Jesus' primary message was that of Love. I believe that in working toward equal rights for all peoples, homosexual, straight, white, black, hispanic male, female, etc, etc, and breaking bread and fellowshipping with these people and accepting them and treating them as my equals (which they are, since they are fellow children of God) that I am carrying on the work and teachings of Jesus, those of Love, Acceptance, Tolerance, Forgiveness, Humility and Kindness.

God can judge everyone when He decides that it is the proper time for doing so. Judging others is not my job, instead, I believe that emulating the actions and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth is.

By condemning homosexuals and homosexuality, I am usurping God, which in my eyes is a form of blasphemy.

2009-12-14T11:49:56.186-05:00

Romans 3:23 All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.Including those who practice immoral behavior such as any kind of sexual immorality and those who practice homosexual behavior do not have exemption. This whole desire of God is that through His Son Jesus we would be really saved from our self righteous behavior and all immorality through our savior Jesus. You can argue your points and start to agree with those that you want to love and actually fellowship with them especially when they are in your family but love has truth or it is not real love. Truth is Holy and has a spirit of holiness from God with it. Any perversion from the truth is unholy and can be in that spirit accepted and even defended, but it will never change God or His truth being rightly divided from ruling forever. It is us who must really repent and be converted and it is us who will benefit from the change from unholy to holy before God and with His strength learn to do right now that we are right with Him through His savior Jesus.

Cool Stuff. But St. Nicholas started out as a Greek with the name Nicholas. All across northern Europe, they celebrate the day of his death with his return---December 6th. We do that,too, separating in back out from Christmas, for lots of reasons. So I ran across this looking at St. Nick stuff 'cuz one of my kids actually asked Santa for a picture of himself! Anyway, you sound sorta like Groucho Marx, which I mean as a compliment.

I, too, LOVE Scott Miller and the Commonwealth. (For the record, my wife--whom I think is pretty damn hot--LOVES him, as well). I particularly love that he has a HUGE Neil Young jones--each time I've seen him he's played some relatively obscure Neil song. Any fan (or...anyone) that doesn't know about his earlier band, The V-Roys, is cheating themselves. CHECK THEM OUT NOW!

Cool post! You make me miss my old days of hanging out with the country pickers. I've been a huge fan of Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham and Joe South forever, so it's great to know they're still around.
