The pastor of New Hope Baptist Church in Seneca, Kansas says President Barack Obama has gone too far in supporting same sex marriage and it’s time for the U.S. government to begin killing gay men and lesbians.
Pastor Curtis Knapp went on to read from Leviticus 20: “If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death.”
“You say, ‘Oh, I can’t believe you, you’re horrible. You’re a backwards neanderthal of a person.’ Is that what you’re calling scripture? Is God a neanderthal, backwards in his morality? Is it His word or not? If it’s His word, he commanded it. It’s His idea, not mine. And I’m not ashamed of it.”
I just want to say that Curtis Knapp is essentially correct: the Bible DOES say that homosexuals should be put to death and all Curtis Knapp is really doing is being true to his faith. This is all the more reason why we should increasingly point out and recognize that it is the Christian religion and the entire Judeo-Christian tradition that is vile, murderous, and homophobic. It is not just Curtis Knapp. If you want equality in gender and sexual orientation, start challenging bigotry at its source.
LSD: Dream Emulator.
Back in the 1980s’, Hiroko Nishikawa kept a dream journal for around ten years.
In the 1990s’, when the Playstation 1 came out, he made a game using all the stuff he had gathered in his sightings.The gameplay goes like this: You’re in first person view, and you move around, and touching anything links, or teleports you somewhere.
Nothing’s ever the same. I’ve been playing this game for about three months off anf on and I’m still seeing new things every time I play it. (Running on an emulator of course.)
So if you can find a decent emulator and the ISO file, I suggest giving it a try. There’s a lot going on in it. It can scare the crap out of you, make you laugh, or make you think.
(The photos are just screencaps I’ve taken throughout my experience. IT FUCKS YOUR BRAIN UP, MAN)
Cannot reblog enough, i wanna play this game more than anything
Four nights a year, the streets of Manhattan’s grid become the site for a spectacular sunset phenomenon known as “Manhattanhenge.” As Director of the Hayden Planetarium Neil deGrasse Tyson, who discovered the phenomenon and coined the term “Manhattanhenge,” explains in his Hayden Planetarium blog, Manhattanhenge takes place “when the setting Sun aligns precisely with the Manhattan street grid, creating a radiant glow of light across Manhattan’s brick and steel canyons, simultaneously illuminating both the north and south sides of every cross street of the borough’s grid. A rare and beautiful sight.”
View Manhattanhenge tonight at 8:17 pm and tomorrow at 8:16 pm. Reply to this post with your photo of the phenomenon for a chance to win 2 tickets to our Manhattanhenge program on July 11.

The war on drugs was the pivotal instrument for introducing a new form of social control. It not only massively increased the prison population, but subjected them, and urban black communities more widely, to the continual supervision of public coercive authority.

Photography suggests truth and objectivity, but most of time ends up establishing the opposite. The eye and the heart somehow get mixed up with reality in the dark insides of the camera. In a way, the camera is like Plato’s cave, reminding us that when we think we understand the nature of things, we are in fact only looking at mere shadows on a wall.
