that damned cuba

i have recently become addicted to the tv show "the west wing". i can't even begin to explain why. i find that there is something about it that gets me. every fucking time. sort of in the way that cuba gooding, jr. gets me. that fucker can make me cry for no reason. i'm sick, i know.

anyway, this might be a good example of what i love about the show. i have found it to be one of the best comebacks to the "but the bible says homosexuality is an abomination in Leviticus,18:22..." argument.

check it out.

president bartlett asks....

"I'm interested in selling my youngest daughter into slavery as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. She's a Georgetown sophomore, speaks fluent Italian, always cleared the table when it was her turn. What would a good price for her be?

While you're thinking about that, can I ask another? My Chief of Staff, Leo McGarry insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly says he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself or is it okay to just call the police?

Here's one that's really important because we've got a lot of sports fans in this town: touching the skin of a dead pig makes one unclean... Leviticus 11:7. If they promise to wear gloves, can the Washington Redskins still play football? Can Notre Dame? Can West Point...?

Does the whole town really have to get together to stone my brother, John, for planting different crops side by side? Can I burn my mother in a small family gathering for wearing garments made from two different threads? Think about those questions, would you?"

it shows how truly ridiculous it is to argue anything with a bible quote. so shove that all you right wing christian fundamentalists. ha!

i'm am so going to hell.
