Morford: Is Your Religion Unsanitary? Join the godless throngs now!)

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Friday, February 20, 2004 | Mark Morford, there is no less sanitary human behavior than gay sex

[presidio9]

Is your god telling you, like it tells G.W. Bush every night, that your unwanted unprovoked ultraviolent war against a nearly defenseless nation is not only justified and righteous, but is His deepest wish?

And does your religion tell you, like it tells so many of the Christian Right, that homosexuals are a dire threat to humankind and should be stopped at all costs before the so-called gay agenda sneaks into the playground and the drinking water and the "Spongebob" scripts and starts covertly converting our blessed innocent hetero children to a life of sin?

[presidio9]

Thankth for thith.

God works in mysterious ways....I once thought of religion much like Ms. Morford (shudder!), but without warning I was brushed by the hem of His garment and my life changed infinitely for the better. Hopefully Ms. Morford can have that sort of experience one day.

Yeesh, Mark-tell us how you really feel, OK? No sense holding back like this.

If stuff like this shocks or suprises anyone here, get your head out of the sand. It's going to get a lot worse.

Who do you think gave him the ability to write?

[Constitution Day]

Hey, don't look at me like that! LOL

[bondjamesbond]

It is never too late. It is your choice. Won't you join us?

No. I will not.

Does this guy ever get tired of arguing with his own fantasy of what the rest of society is like?

[Billthedrill]

Letting go, de-clenching, letting the spiritual blood flow, is half the battle.

I'm not entirely sure whether Miss Morford is referring here to a spiritual epiphany or to anal intercourse. For some folks there's a distinction, for others, perhaps not.

No barf alert?

Morford - from the Anglo-Saxon "Mo" meaning attention or warning and "Rford" originally "rrrfoooordg" from the result of drinking too much cheap mead.

"Morford" signs can still be at the entrances of some British alehouses warning patrons that the floor might be slippery.

[Judith Anne]

Yes, I was surprised.

[Johnny Gage]

Made it through about the first 2 paragraphs.

Only in S.F. can some pole-smoking, anti-christian, bush hating, rump ranger get published in an actual newspaper.

I originally tought the title said "godless thongs".
Better not give Missy M any ideas.

[presidio9]

Thorry. I don't know what came over me. Maybe Morford'th tharting to make thome thenthe to me...

[jboot]

Really?

Maybe I just listen for this stuff more than most do. I maintain a semi-religious blog. The responses that my religious posts get-even from my supposed friends-are shockingly negative, even malicious.

Marketing directly to the heathen? Perhaps a new line from Abercrombie?

"...brain polyps. Perspective warts. Fear blisters. Hate rashes. Sanctimony drip. Chronic nose picking."

All of these can be avoided by steering clear of the bathhouses.

[MississippiMan]

I bet Satan is especially proud of this worker, probably even setting up a leadership position for him among the minions.

Good grief.

Miss Morford, it is evident that you do not know God.

[redhead]

I almost made it all the way through this thing...almost.

Morford is not only a twit, but he's an IGNORANT, ABRASIVE, SANCTIMONIOUS twit. No wonder this is the first one of his "articles" I have attempted to read. I think it will be my last attempt. I have better things to do, like clean the birdcage.

What a beautiful way to share your testimony. So glad that you are a part of the family of believers and also the family of freepers. May God bless your day.
