            Ha! At a very old job, we had a cot for people who put in a long day and didn’t have time to go home. There was one guy who would stay at work for 3-4 days in a row… Before one all-hands meeting, I discreetly told him that his BO was very strong. He left immediately to go home for a shower, and missed the all-hands. Not so good for him, but excellent for the rest of us cramped into the largest conference room which still lacked capacity.

      Naw, David just erased part of the glasses frames so we can properly see Billies eye, as pupil direction, pupil size, and pupil highlight size all tell us about the character’s emotions.

        Given on the angle like that her glasses would have to be bent around her face like swim goggles to look like that, even without the erased part. (In actuality they’d be much closer to a straight line hovering in front of her eye.) This is apparently just Willis’s way of implying glasses at the moment.

          I always found that weird looking, cause glasses have a bit curve to them and even if a straight line is a bit closer than this, exaggerating details rather than taking them is always weird looking to me and it gives less info to reader/veiwer or whatever you call someone looking at some kinda drawing.

          That’s some odd church you got there, I’m not a Christian (anymore) or opposed to whatever people want to stick their hooha in and whatnot, but the bible kind of explicitly condemns homosexuality (Abomination and such), so I’d think Christians would want to avoid abominations in their church. Or maybe that was just my church, well, not that they’d go so far as to KICK people out. But they definitely not just let it go, you know.

          Heck, over here they get fussy when people live together without getting married.

            Take it from the outside world, Heat, but I’m afraid to say that you went to a pretty odd church, then. There are plenty that refuse to allow discrimination define them.

              I’ve been to about four churches over the course of my life. All of them pretty much fell in line with what Heat described. Including, I was surprised to find out, the Christian youth group I joined which I later discovered was led by an ex-drug dealer. Go figure.

                Well… I AM an Episcopalian. I guess I hadn’t considered that we would be ahead of the times on this one. Homosexual priests are not that uncommon (my local parish has one) and just a month ago at the natinal convention we ruled for developing same-sex union blessings. So… yeah. Maybe I AM the odd one.

                  Well, some claim that Paul, properly translated, is only against pedastry not homosexuality, and his are the only prescriptions against homosexuality that would count, as the Old Testament doesn’t count as Christian Law except for when it does.

                  Oh, and the reason the Old Testament prohibitions do apply is Acts 15, where Paul cautions against “porneia,” usually “sexual immorality” or “fornication,” which in the language of the time would be understood to refer to the prohibitions laid down in Leviticus 18, including – yep. Granted, the connection’s not totally clear (especially in those translations that take the word in the then-obsolete sense of “whoredom” or the NAB’s euphemistic “unlawful marriage”), but the initial prohibition in Leviticus, at least, is alaways there, plus the lengthier bit in Romans 1 is harder to spin than the word “arsenokoites” that pops up in 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:10.

                  Keep in mind that Jesus did say nothing about homosexuality – while living in a society where gay men could be stoned after one warning, and lesbians flogged.

                  I feel it translates most correctly to sodomite, because that’s what New Revised Standard Version says and NRSV is 100 times better than NIV, which is stupid and dumb.

                  /is never argumentative

                  A lot of people argue the word “castrated” is referring to homosexuality in Jesus’s discussion about how some people are born castrated, but that passage makes little sense no matter how you chose to translate or argue about it. That’s for the translating guys to do. :3

                Christians come in both “thinks the Bible is the infallible word of God” and “thinks the Bible is the very fallible word of some guys who had lunch with God a few times” flavors.

            Considering my (very much Christian) faith has gay bishops and the number of LGBT-friendly churches out there, I’d think quite a few Christians would disagree with you on that “avoid abominations in their church” blanket statement. That said, I’m v. curious to see Joyce’s response, because the home-schooled Christians from a small denomination I met while in college (in Indiana, but not IU) were all over the spectrum when it came to meeting or even discussing us queer kids.

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
