Out of context quotes of the night:

[serene]

"I am editing anal sex!"

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Wikipedia says, 'Virtually all Christians confirm the importance of accepting and welcoming homosexuals into their communities and protecting their civil rights.'"

"Yeah, right. 'More than half' would be stretching it. 'Virtually all' is a flat-out untruth.'"

"Well, unless they mean 'virtually' in the sense of 'pretend'."

wow, what kind of crazy optimistic world was that writer living in? i wish it were true, but even i'm not that naive to believe that...

Wiki isn't /usually/ wildly and unrealistically optimistic. Weird.

The one where everyone wears blinders?

That can't possibly happen, you know, that Wikipedia is wrong. I have a friend who's a Wikipedia editor, who says that anything wrong is fixed within 30 seconds.

oh, i found the problem. it's friends of gays and lesbians who edit articles :)

clearly that shouldn't be allowed, as per this article (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Friends_of_gays_should_not_be_allowed_to_edit_articles)

Wikipedia is not Omnipotent. Entries tend to be written by those who are interested in the topic. (You will find my ascii all over the Canadian/Ontario subsection on co-op housing and sections about Toronto neighbourhoods) Flip over to te back coversation tab, look at the edit history, and You Shall Know All. Better yet, add yourself to the editor's list and change it already!

Er, didn't you notice the first line of the post? It has been edited.

Virtual Christians

I think you nailed it with the "pretend" definition. I've known a lot of "good Christians" in my time, and ... well, organized religion is there to promote exclusivity, superiority, and oppression. There. I said it.

The Quaker congregations I've been involved with have actually been loving and accepting. Same with Unitarian Universalists.

Well, I wubs ya!

I think that's absolutely the truth... If by "Christian" you mean "Unitarian" - LOL!

"I am editing anal sex!"

Just make sure to use plenty of lube.

How bad is it that the same thing popped into my head when I read the post?
