So, you've probably heard about this whole "Oreo supports homosexuality" controversy. An old colleague of mine certainly did. After reading several rambling rants about the sin of homosexuality, I decided I had had enough, and posted a logical deconstruction of the Biblical condemnation of the homosexuality, essentially proving that the Bible doesn't care about homosexuals as a concept but instead condemns lust in all its forms, saying nothing on the subject of homosexual love given that the three contexts in which homosexuality is mentioned Biblically are, in order: A dodge for celibacy, a group of rapists, and in the middle of an orgy of unholy debauchery ranging waaaaay beyond sexual relations. Based upon these common themes and examining the historical precedents for social movements of this nature, I was forced to remind everyone how silly general culture and particularly the more respectable bastions of our faith view such events such as racial and religious suppression, and asked how we wish to be remembered by future generations in this respect. All in all, it was slightly inflammatory, but I felt it was a logical conclusion that I was prepared to defend.

In response, I was told that I'm the Anti-Christ. Well, not exactly in those terms, what he actually said was that I'm proof that it's the End of Days. However, that's close enough for me. It's official. I'm the Anti-Christ.

So, what'd you do today?

I was at a lecture about the dangers of driving. I'm working towards getting a license you see.

In a couple of hours I'll be going out to take a long drive (5 hours) with my instructor.

Other than that, I've been watching this documentary:

Edit: And why are you still in contact with this retard that calls you the antichrist?
Well, the lovely thing about people who believe it's the end of days is that all you have to do to prove them wrong is wait. Or just point out that people have been thinking it's the end of days since the beginning of days.
You could also have asked him why he cherry picks form the old testament and so blatantly ignores Christ's message of love.

In all seriousness though, you're poking at a person's religion here. Religious views are by definition not based on rationality, so logic isn't going to dissuade him, because he doesn't value logic in regard to that particular aspect of his life.

Erm...

I may or may not be sharpening a stake right now with the purpose of killing the Anti-Christ and becoming the saviour of humanity...

Reply with a list of all the other people who thought it was the end of days x years ago and point out that it hasn't happened yet. Then duck and cover.

Today I studied for my exam, played video-games and listened to old episodes of the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe.

I must be living under the mother of all rocks. I did a little research and I?m still amazed it produced the backlash it did.

Was it your colleague that called you the Anti-Christ? Or some other nut? Serves you right for using sensible and reasonable logic and analysis. Tsk!

I went to the mall with my relatives. When I was trying to look for some of them in one women's clothing store, one of the sales woman said I couldn't be in the back of the story (where the changing rooms were).

Later I joked that if I had been shaven the saleswoman probably wouldn't have cared (cause I wouldn't look as wierd, also I'm kinda effeminate). My sister took offense to this for some reason (she was in a bad mood) and I laughed it off.

Called some dude the Antichrist.

He was trying to open a portal to hell using human sacrifice at the time so it felt appropriate.

Fortunately you just kept it to that. It would have annoyed me greatly if you had actually tried doing something about it.

I received a phone call this morning saying I wasn't going to pass my college course. so I went in, saw I had a list of 10 pieces of work outstanding, noticed I had the feedback sheets saying that 7 of them were passed, showed my tutor the sheets, did the re submissions and now I'm feeling all smug as I progress on with my course and am doing higher level work in the library, fun times :3

My parents completely overreacted and now they feel so stupid, I'm feeling fucking awesome right now I have to say.... :3

Oh by the way OP, grats on winning the argument against that religious nut job, I usually stay the hell away because you just can't get through their thick skulls most of the time...

Just sneeze and then really quickly say, "Don't bless me! Don't bless me. Wow, could you imagine what would have happened to your soul if you'd blessed me then?!"

It was a chav, I felt the odds of it working where pretty low at that point.

What kind of driving test takes five hours to complete?
It's not a driving test; it's a mandatory part of the course.
I'm not taking the test until a month or so.

This particular bit is step 4.1.2: Driving in highway environments and overtaking.
The main purpose is to learn about how to overtake others and when it's appropriate.

Tomorrow, I think, I'll be moving on to step 4.1.3: Driving in a varied environment.
That's a four hour drive where I will be tasked with such things as controlling air pressure and pattern depth in the tires, controlling the warning lamps and so on.

If that's just a lesson, imagine the test! O.O

Well, I've not done anything today cause it's pretty early.
But yesterday I went to the doctors - apparently I looked nice. Because some guys leaned out of a car to yell at me on the way there and a dude in the waiting room wouldn't stop staring at me.
Like proper staring. It was kind of creepy.

I don't get that when I'm out with my boyfriend. This was the first time I'd been somewhere without him in a while. So I'm not sure if it's a compliment or what.
