Proving once again that some puppets are more human than fundamentalist douche-canoes, the muppets have broken off their relationship with Chick-fil-A. I am a little surprised that Chick-fil-A used the muppets for their kid's mela toys. The Muppets; where a cow and a pig can someday have beautiful little figs and every performance starts and ends with a hand elbow deep in the jacksie.

Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am.So, if they're married, they're going against what's written in the Bible!
Great example Rob - and just a few chapters later we have First Timothy (3:2)
A lot of this inconsistency, especially in the Pauline epistles comes from christianity being an apocalyptic religion that never got around to having the apocalypse. Add in that many of the books and letters that eventually came to become the new testament were not written by the proclaimed authors. The bible is chock full of pseudepigraphy. A lot of the Pauline gospels were not written by Paul; some of the most famous stories do not appear in the earliest copies of the new gospels. Bits added on, bits taken away. Contradiction is inevitable as new church positions, even those in direct opposition to earlier works are added in.
Okay, back to the crispy fried douche nozzles at Chik-fil-A. The Mayor of Boston has stood up and said he is going to do everything he can to keep the homophobic chicken chokers out of his city. I disagree with this sentiment. Let them come in and build their oil-dripping temple to biblical family values. It costs them money - and when no one shows up and it eventually closes, they can feel it in their pocketbooks.
