HAhahaha Poe's Law.
From Conservapedia (I know what you're thinking, and I'm only quoting from them because Wikipedia is only listing the "real" Poe's law currently, quite unusual for them to avoid such an easy potshot against people of faith): "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
From that same page: "Poe's law is often used to mock conservatives and fundamentalists, based on its implicit assertion that fundamentalists and conservatives are so absurd as to be indistinguishable from parody. However, there is a fundamental flaw in this assertion. One might as well argue that genuine works of art are indistinguishable from cheap knockoffs, because some people are unable to distinguish between the two. Clearly, the cause of the mistake is not that the genuine article is no better than a mockery; rather, the cause of the mistake is that some people lack the critical thinking skills and/or experience to differentiate the two -- particularly in cases when an artist (or a parodist) goes to special efforts to emulate the genuine article."
I really think that says it all, wouldn't you agree?

Gay folk (according to kill-whatever) aren't committed enough to stay with one person for any length of time, but they're committed enough to collectively attempt to destroy marriage?
How does that even work?

It doesn't.
"She's" not using logic.
"If you could reason with religious people, there would be no religious people."
Killbot: "Everything you know is wrong, black is white, up is down, and short is long, and everything you thought was so important doesn't matter; everything you know is wrong, just forget the words and sing along, all you need to understand is, everything you know is wrong!"
:laugh:

Quoting Weird Al REALLY helps your case.

they'll only commit to something if it's fun. that and they're directed by people with FAR more patience and capability for strategic thought.
--- Quote from: Ghanima Atreides on 23 Oct 2009, 06:39 ---Win! <3 I simply loved the recent developments, minus the various biblethumpers who all of a sudden decided to come out of the woodwork (funny how that never happened when Tai was banging two other girls or when people were busy shipping Hannelore with every possible female character.... :roll:). I can't wait for the celebration/wedding shenanigans!

haven't been reading that long. For the record, I find lesbians to be as reprehensible as gays (perhaps even more so, from personal experience *shudder*)

Wait, I have a case?

Look, can you give us any idea where you are getting these wild and arbitrary generalisations from (I mean decent citations; not, say, the bible, which doesn't happen to contain that one anyway)? Also why your wild generalisations should be considered any more valid than other people's wild generalisations about, say, fundies?
And why are you even here? Are you truly hoping to convert some of your readers to your kind of blindness and hate, or are you just trying to convince yourself?
WittyUsername:
I came in here looking to share how adorable I felt the entire Henry and Maurice thing was.
Now, honestly, I'm just kind of disgusted. Why, Killbot? Do you honestly think God wants you to hate? Because if you do, the God you know and the God I know are very different Gods indeed.
Malsies:
I'm going to go ahead and assume that Killbot is a troll, despite her fervent protests to the contrary and attempts to insult the suspicious. As much as it pains me to recognize that there really are people that ignorant/close-minded in the world, I know that people who truly believe in Killbot's professed views are out there. However, I find it highly unlikely that someone who confines herself to a mental box like that would be reading a web comic like QC in the first place, or, for that matter, any comic that might link to here.
If she is serious, then I am really sorry that the Radical Underground Gay Coalition didn't get around to brainwashing her while she was still young and vulnerable. That's what they're all about, you know.
At any rate, I've been enjoying this arc. I think Maurice and Henry are adorable. I can't wait to see how the wedding goes.
Killbot:
Maurice's last name is Lester. Believe it.
