Hi, all.

Re: Hi, all.

I think that a 30-year old virgin would be better called "loser" and "closet homer" myself.

Who said anything about my being a 30-year-old virgin? My wife and I have a very healthy relationship, even if it's a bit too egalitarian for the tastes of some people here.

why havn't you procreated as all the gods command?

If you can worship "all the gods" and still be welcome in this forum, then perhaps this is a diverse, welcoming, and affirming online community after all.

Re: Hi, all.

I am not "leading the youth of our nation into fornication and worse...." I affirm the right of our students who are of legal age in this state to explore their sexuality, provided that they do not do or say anything that would be misogynistic or women-objectifying or otherwise run afoul our college's diversity code.

Explore their sexuality? The Bible says we shouldn't do that. Nobody here is misogynistic, we don't hate women but we do know their place according to God.

Re: Hi, all.

It is abhorrent that you are leading the youth of our nation into fornication and worse by teaching pansyism and the literal interpretation of the Constitution!

Re: Hi, all.

Regarding Mother/Father God: I know that the phallocracy has indoctrinated us into seeing the Deity in exclusively male terms in order to perpetuate the subjugation of women, but if God has created all of us in God's image, how can God be only a Father instead of a Mother/Father? I used to pray to "Our Father, who art in heaven," too, but through a process of spiritual enlightenment I realized that I was putting human, earthly limits on who God is.

Friend,

It is right for us to be Tallywacker centric here; it is the male that is the source of all life and the female only provide a nurturing environment for the male to thrive in. Please try to see beyond the lies your carpet cleaning Thespain colleges have filled you with. The female cooter is empty and therefore not worthy of worship.

Re: Hi, all.

Thank you for your welcome. No, I do not wear women's underwear. I believe in creating a safe and welcoming space for those who are called by their inner light to do so, as long as they do not buy it at a worker-exploiting Wal*Mart in the suburbs.

We don't, because God says they're an abomination.
And that is your first lesson about us:
We follow the ENTIRE KJV1611 BIBLE, ALL OF IT, whatever God commands, we do.


The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment:
For all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy 22:5

Regarding Mother/Father God: I know that the phallocracy has indoctrinated us into seeing the Deity in exclusively male terms in order to perpetuate the subjugation of women, but if God has created all of us in God's image, how can God be only a Father instead of a Mother/Father? I used to pray to "Our Father, who art in heaven," too, but through a process of spiritual enlightenment I realized that I was putting human, earthly limits on who God is.

God is a male, the Bible says HE, and our FATHER..
And the Bible is to be trusted. Please refrain from further blasphemy or you will no longer be welcome.
BTW, the last time I checked, Jesus was a males name..

Anyway, I must go soon. I have to prepare my lecture notes for a seminar on Derrida. Be well.

With all that in mind, welcome to Landover.
May you find Jesus here, and join us in worship.

Praise Him!

Re: Hi, all.

Dear Professor DIM. I am not going to ask where you teach because I already have it narrowed down to ten possibilities, all of which are communist and homosexual pits of sin.

It is abhorrent that you are leading the youth of our nation into fornication and worse by teaching pansyism and the literal interpretation of the Constitution!

Re: Hi, all.

I have to agree with Brother Bobby-Joe here Mr. Myers; but please don't take any offence.

Everytime I hear that God / Goddess, Mother / Father type stuff when referencing Jesus; I tend to think I'm dealing with one of those Men / wears women's underwear type people.

In any case; welcome to Landover.

Re: Hi, all.

P.S. I really don't like being called "unsaved trash." Only Mother/Father God can determine whether I am saved, not you.

Friend,

Welcome to Jesus' favorite forum friend. We never heard of the Mother/Father God thing, sounds like something they do on the West Coast, if you know what I mean. Jesus assigns status here and we are only his tools. PRAISE!

Greeting and salutations. Merry met and blessed be. I'm Professor Darren Ingram-Myers, and I believe that my inner light (or as liberal Quakers would say, that of Mother/Father God in each of us) has led me to your forum to find a caring and inclusive community of faith.

A little about me: I teach cultural studies at a liberal-arts college. I figure that it's a good way to subvert the dominant paradigm of corporate conservative consumerist capitalism in the minds of today's youths. Since my students come almost exclusively from middle- to upper-income backgrounds, they have a dismayingly high rate of false consciousness, but then, it's in my job description to show them how to have right minds.

When I'm not teaching or writing articles for publication, I like to work for social justice, volunteer at the organic co-op (just a short ride on the No. 8 bus from the student ghetto, in case you'd like to stop by), and go mountain biking.

About the monicker: I used to be just plain old Darren Myers, but I decided to hyphenate the last name I got from my father with my wife's mother's maiden name to do my part against the patriarchy. I guess that makes Myers my maiden name, doesn't it?

Anyway, I look forward to dialoguing with all of you. Peace out!
