I've been pretty wound up about Proposition 8 (with good reason), but I felt we could do with a lighthearted but pointed interlude to giggle over for a bit :)

And so, without further ado, I present:

Proposition 8, The Musical starring Jack Black, John C. Reilly, and many more...



From various sources, but the one that actually prompted me to watch to and then post was Boing Boing.

Spot the difference:

"A man lying with another man like a woman is an abomination."
"Shellfish will be an abomination unto you."

To paraphrase further:

"Men boning men is bad."
"Shellfish will make you ill."

Which, at the time, was true. If you don't know how to properly prepare shellfish or lack the proper tools then you'll get very sick very quickly. That was clearly advice. The other one about homosexuality is not written as advice, it's God clearly saying "this is a bad thing". The two verses that are often compared are made entirely different by that "unto you" part (which is in there, check the verses, I haven't bothered).

I realise I'm not the target audience for the musical and I don't want to get into a more general argument but those specific verses are thrown around a lot and the one about shellfish is usually entirely misunderstood. It'd be nice if those purporting to be gay or supporters of the gay could at least put try and put together a reasonable argument if they're going to insist on arguing from the Bible.

Without wanting to sound like an arrogant or judgmental cock (I know I do but it doesn't mean I am or that's my intention) of course. This misuse of scripture just annoys me.
