Fantastic Four. You’d be surprised what the Southern Baptists can come up with to justify their beliefs…
I thought it was the Fiend Folio.
I was so hoping this would happen. Maybe there IS a god! ;o)
Yeah, right. Like the Fundamentalists would use D&D as a cite!
As much as I like to see homophobes get a come-uppance, it shouldn’t be at the expense of someone else. Especially their own child.
I don’t know. Both the paeliryon and the xerfilstyx look kind of…well…
Yeah. Though I like the other theories too.
(Stan Lee as Biblical prophet – now, that has possibilities! :D)
To whom does this refer?
Can you actually guarantee me he’s not?
And the great grand guru of God (Stan really likes alliteration) spake unto the multitudes and said “Woe unto the puny Philistines. Smash puny Philistines”. THOOOOOOMMM!
The Fiend Folio was one of the AD&D (back when it was called AD&D) books my mother made me burn when she “discovered” that playing D&D was inviting Satan into my life.
As opposed to the Phil Foglio, whose association with TSR/WotC produced a character who would invite Satan into her life, but only to lull him into a false sense of security so she could cosh him across the horns and steal his multi-dimensional empire of EEEVVIIIIILLLLL!!!
That was more like a few months. Man, just the thought of not voting for that guy makes me smile. 
Now that I think about it, she also thinks homosexuality is caused by demons. So she probably believes that me playing D&D back in the early 80s invited the demon into my life that caused me to be gay.
AD&D, therefore, is the root cause of homosexuality.
Nah. It is, however, the root cause of people mistakenly thinking you’re homosexual because you can’t talk to girls…
I suppose the OP is claiming that left-wingers can’t be equally anti-gay. You know, people like Hitler and Stalin. His politics are irrelevant.
Anyway, I don’t know the guy from Adam, but I can see a (very distasteful) method in his action: not only has she angered him but there’s little chance of her providing him with grandchildren. But that’s so cold-blooded it leaves me shaking.
Let us hope that at some point there will be a reconciliation.
Actually the OP made no such claim. It’s a figment of your imagination. But perhaps you can enlighten us as to which U.S. “left-wing” politicians or activists are anti-gay. I’ll give you Betty Freiden; but perhaps you could deal with the present instead.
AK ran for US Senate from Maryland (darn it is cold in Maryland right now!). I went to see him speak as an old college roomie was staffing for him. He spoke well, lots of volume, very dogmatic.
I can report that when the candidate walked across the Bay Bridge along with several thousand voters on a fine summer day, when he was done, he got in his car. He was surrounded by hands to shake and he got in his blinkin’ car to go home!
When he ran for (the Republican nomination for) President in 2000, he did not return phone calls from the Washington Post (or anyone else I think).
AK is an odd dude.
But what is worse yet is what I speculate is going on here. I suspect (with no evidense) that AK loves his daughter. I suspect he would support and stand by her, except that his own dogma has trapped him.
Imagine that. He (may be) forced to break up his family to avoid losing face with his political supporters.
If this were to be true, he would not only be a wierd dude, but would have some darn odd values.
Not a fun story in any way or shape or form.
I also live in Maryland, and while I’ve had no personal contact with Keyes, I remember when he ran for Senate here in 1992: he accused the national Republican party of racism for not giving him more campaign money.
It later came out that he was paying himself a large salary out of the campaign funds, which is not technically legal, but is considered sleazy. It was even more so in Keyes’ case, because in asking for more money from the national party, he was essentially asking them for a raise, and crying racism when refused it.
It amazes me that conservatives still take this guy seriously. I know he gets very few actual votes, but the concensus I hear from my conservative friends who don’t vote for him isn’t that he’s corrupt and self-serving, but that he’s too hard-line to be electable.
In a weird irony, Keyes approaches politics similiarly to former KKK leader David Duke. Both men ran for office to get publicity and boost their between-election careers: talking to their faithful.
Keyes has a bright future in the Republican party. Whenever there’s a Senate race that they have no chance of winning, they’ll offer it to him.
