Let's just get it all out of the way, shall we?

1) Polyamory is better and purer than monogamy.
2) Deep down, everyone's really bisexual.
3) Meat is murder.
4) Jesus is the One True Way(tm); after all, it says so right here, in English, in my Bible.
5) Liberals just want to tax and spend, and they don't care if terrorists kill us all dead!


Please, Universe, save me from fundamentalists of any stripe, wouldja?

6) [fitb-ism] is the One True Way(tm); anyone who disagrees is crazy, confused, stupid, evil, and dangerous.

2a. Deep down, everyone's really bisexual.
2b. Deep down, every bisexual is really just too chicken to give up het privilege.

6. Of course you have penis envy/an Oedipus complex/an Electra complex. You're just repressing it, which proves that it's really bad.

7a. Only snobs don't watch TV/follow sports.
7b. Only idiots watch TV/follow sports.

As an ex-vegetarian who has to eat meat in order not to get sick, thank you so much for putting #3 there.

*choke* I'm so glad I kept reading....I had to remind myself whose journal I was looking at at first to make myself keep reading!

Don't forget:

-Gay people are better than straight people
-Vanilla is boring
-Breastmilk is better than the bottle, regardless of the situation

Oh, they are in EVERY community, those fundies...

1) Polyamory is better and purer than monogamy.
Some people can handle it, some can't. If you want pure, stick to celibacy.

2) Deep down, everyone's really bisexual.
I don't know. We're physically capable of having sex in a varuety of ways with any gender. When and how do we develop preferences? Deep down, rub me the right way and I suppose I'll enjoy it, at least until I open my eyes, or ears, etc. & become aware of who's doing the rubbing.

3) Meat is murder.
Yes. And one should eat what you kill. Should you also be the one to kill what you eat?

4) Jesus is the One True Way(tm); after all, it says so right here, in English, in my Bible.
Not true for me. I envision Jesus as a cute little gay boy who serves, by choice, as houseboy to the goddess(es.)He is the one true way to get your house and/or your feet divinely clean.

5) Liberals just want to tax and spend, and they don't care if terrorists kill us all dead!
Not true. Liberals care if terrorists kill us all dead! They just don'y care if terrorists stop the flow of oil and kill our economy, forcibg us to all ride bicycles and use manual wheelchairs (those damn liberals)!

Those are great. A few more...

6) All women are inherently compassionate and nurturing.
6b) Women's intuition is always right.

7) Science and Western medicine are not to be trusted because they were invented by men.
7b) All herbs are better than prescription drugs because they're natural. (Just ignore those poisonous plants!)

(FWIW, I AM a feminist, no doubt about it. I only take issue with gender essentialism. Regarding science and medicine, I am alarmed when people take herbal remedies without realizing that herbs, just like prescription drugs, can have side effects and interact with other medications.)

Can't we just distill it all down to:

ω) No matter what you may think, I know better than you do.

The trouble with being atheists, alas, is that we can't really expect the Universe to save us.

Guess we just get to roll up our sleeves (again and again and again) and save ourselves.

Um... Amen!?

6) If you really want to [fitb], you can, so if it's not happening it's your own fault.
7) If transexuals had any imagination, they would realize that there is no such thing as masculine or feminine behavior, so they wouldn't feel the need to change their bodies.

I've toyed with the idea of labelling myself a "fundamentalist agnostic." [1] Partially because it's somewhat accurate, partially because the combination of the two words amuses me.

Does this mean you won't like me any more?
