Edited on Mon Mar-15-10 12:29 AM by Powdered Toast Man
I thought it was a relatively safe place. I go there often to work and have never had any issues with anyone.
Then they sat down; three young ladies, probably a few years younger than myself. They were speaking about the bible. One of them was a minister of sorts and the other two were studying.
Normally I have my earbuds in, but today I forgot them.
They began talking about this and that in the bible. I was pretty much ignoring them.
After a few minutes the discussion turned to Homosexuality and how the bible looked at it.
My ears perked up.
I was expecting to hear them say how the bible was wrong. Instead, the three of them began talking about how the bible was right about that, but wrong about African Americans and Women because... well... that was where they lost me. They were trying to find a rationalization to explain how the bible could be right in being bigoted against gays, but it was totally unacceptable for women and African Americans.
I sat there getting more and more furious.
They moved onto another topic. I didn't care. Normally, I would have gone off on them. Normally, I would have interrupted and listed off at least 10 different examples of bull shit arguments in the bible and how they were truly ignorant for believing that it is anything more than a bunch of stories. It is not to be taken literal.
Ordinarily I would have done just that.
But for some reason... today... I just didn't have it in me.
Today, more than anything, more than it angered me, today it just hurt too much.
What, no concealed weapons?

2. OK
they're studying the Bible in a STARBUCKS? That's enough right there to destroy any credibility they think they have. Don't give homophobic sanctimonious pieces of SHIT like that the power to change your mood.
No, that right there is enough to destroy your credibility.

16. What I wanted to do...
Was grab my partner and plant a big one on him and say, hey hun, let's go to church. But... I don't think he would have appreciated that too much; not big on PDAs.
::)

22. Why Bother....If They Were not Imposing on You Personally...
..... I mean if they didnt come over to you with the idea of sharing their convictions with you just LEAVE THEM ALONE.... you aint going to change their minds or hearts and it is still a country were we can have free conversation.....
Your wasting your time and not doing any good for the viewpoint you have.
Now there's an idea.

So it's okay for fags to openly display their perversions in public, but it's NOT okay for Christians to discuss their religion in public ?
Someone wanna wager they don't see the double standard ?

It's actually worse than a double standard, because free SPEECH is a constitutional right, while PDA's are obviously not. ::) ::)

Awww...poor baby. It hurt so much, you just sat there and took it. So you're a faggot and a pu$$y. :lmao: :lmao:

First of all, what kind of a stupid name is Powdered Toast Man? (When I first typed that, it came out "fist of all...." Freudian?) :lmao:
but wrong about African Americans and Women because...
I'm not believing the bouncy because the term "African American" does not appear in the Bible. The little fruit is making up stories in order to showcase himself as a flamer, and thus establish DUmp cred. Boring story, too.
Also, his odd rules of capitalization are Very Annoying.
ETA: Thanks, Chris, for the below. I never got into that show much. It was visually hideous, and was never funny for me.

Powdered Toast Man was a character from the Ren and Stimpy cartoons. Not very original considering that episode is nearly 15 years old.

Reads like a not very clever mole attempting a bouncy to me.

You gotta try harder than this. If there is no cops in bushes, converts or mass acceptance by onlookers, the story is a flop.

Have the DUmmies had any Starbucks bouncies dealing with the open carry protesters , yet?

Means this
I went to a Starbucks today where I was reminded of my deviant lifestyle by three very pretty young Christian girls who were doing an impromptu Bible study.
I wanted to jump up and make a complete assclown out of myself to show everyone how wrong and intolerant they were, but decided against it since Starbucks has recently demonstrated that they have no problems, what so ever, with people bringing loaded firearms on to the premises. I really, really wanted to show these evil fundies that the my intolerance is so much better than theirs but I didn't want to end up with another orifice that my fellow butthumper would want to violate.
Hey, I may be queer, but I'm smart enough to know how to not get shot.

Why does he repeatedly call $tarbucks a "safe place?" What does that mean? Safe from danger, or just opposing view points? What a pansy ass.
No bong.

I believe "Catcher," as opposed to "Pitcher," would be the operative term here.
:popcorn:

I don't recall the bible saying anything about African-Americans.
Maybe thats just me.
It sounds like PTM doesn't even know enough to write a good bouncy.

He was there with his partner and 1) mentioned he didn't have his head set with him so he had to listen to their conversation, and 2) actually did ignore his partner and listened to their conversation.
How utterly pathetic.

He might have meant he didn't see any conceal carry types, or else he figured the church ladies were the least likely to be packing....

...three young ladies...
1st Thought: Young yummies = yay!
2nd Thought: They're not gay = yay!
3rd Thought: They have moral standards = DAMMIT!!! :banghead:

So basically what happened was 3 girls stopped by Starbucks after Bible study, minding their own business, not bothering anyone when this idiot sashays in, swinging his hips with both nose and pinkie in the air. One of the girls turns to the other 2 and says, "Look at the fruit with the Carmen Miranda outfit!" The other girls started laughing hysterically while telling their friend that wasn't very Christian. Until they turned around and looked and damned if there wasn't a fairy behind them wearing some gaudy straw hat decorated with fake fruit.

But since we don't own a Starbucks are we allowed to have an opinion?

Nah, just happened to find my English to DUmbass dictionary for that thread. Lost it again right as I was reading another DUmp thread.
Go figgur...
