God hates fags

Donnie Davies, straightening teh gheys like an orthodontist for your eros!Donnie Davies says so, and sang so, so, so very eloquently that it brought tears to the eyes of many a listener for many a happy hour until tragedy struck.

YouTube hates Donnie Davies.

It’s true.

Well friends, YouTube took down the video that Evening Service and I have worked so hard on. I don’t know what hurts more; being censored because of my message or people making fun of my weight. Hopefully MySpace believes in freedom of expression more than Google does. Maybe China isn’t the only country Google is censoring. ;-)

(Oh, you mean like here?)

Donnie Davies, PastorDavies on AIM if you’re looking to chat (paging Mark Foley!), heads up Love God’s Way, an organization of passionately engaged Christians with a mission to help the bent go straight. They have helpful lists of Gay Bands (Eminem! Who knew???Oh, my mistake: he’s talking about Em in men!) and Safe Bands (Cyndi Lauper: again, who knew???) Here is a pullquote from their program page, CHOPS.

“Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one centre of pain.”
–Oscar Wilde (reformed homosexual)

So What is This About?

C.H.O.P.S is the powerful new program developed by Christian Youth expert Donnie Davies. C.H.O.P.S stands for CHANGING HOMOSEXUALS into ORDINARY PEOPLE…

You are not alone and guess what, God Loves You even if he hates your Homosexuality. You just can’t stay that way. Let me help you love yourself. Follow me and together we’ll C.H.O.P.S away the Gay.

And, from Davies’ own personal website:

Oscar Wilde, my hero, was a reformed homosexual. He went to prison for his sins. Once he was alone with his thouhgts, in jail, he saw the errors of his ways and repented. He died as a Christian. While I’m not advocating jailing all Homosexuals, I do think it would benefit them greatly. It would be for their own good. When a person is forced to think they will generally be able to see their problems and solve them by themselves.

Davies‘ band, the aptly-titled “Evening Service” recorded their touching tune “The Bible Says” only today, but after only a brief flowering of press attention YouTube pulled the plug. Right now, it’s up on Evening Service‘s page here (for now). Anybody got a good capture program?

Let’s go to the lyrics, which I have in full over the jump:

Read the bible and you’ll be sure
To enter heaven. There’s no back door.
Oh righteous man, go down on your knees,
there lies no virtue in sodomy…
God hates a fag. God hates a fag.
God hates a fag.

If you’re a fag, He hates you too.

Well, I think it’s Cristal clear that, among a certain crowd, those lyrics would be packing quite a punch. Indeed, the viral spread of this video (#78 on YouTube today) recorded by a raggedy-assed crew at Studio #54 shows that it had really touched the global village, people, and in a very special way.

We shall give the good Reverend the last word; here is his introductory video, still miraculously untouched on YouTube. But it’s only a matter of time before it’s chaste offline.

Edmund Burke on power: quote o’ the day

From the book The Orientalist, by Tom Reiss.

Lev concludes his indictment of the Soviet secret police by recalling Edmund Burke‘s indictment, in Parliament, of Warren Hastings, the governor-general of India. Hastings had been impeached on a charge of oppressing the natives, and argued in his own defense that his actions could not be considered illegal because he had been granted arbitrary power in India.
To this the British conservative and hater of revolutionary injustice – but also of all kinds of injustice, whether revolutionary or not – replied:

“My lords, the East India company have not arbitrary power to give him; the King has no arbitrary power to give him; your Lordships have not; nor the Commons; nor the whole legislature. We have no arbitrary power to give, because arbitrary power is a thing which neither any man can hold nor any man can give…
Those who give and those who receive arbitrary power are alike criminal.”

quiz: which Edgar Allan Poe poem are you?

Not a whole lot to choose from in this quiz, but what the hell…it’s Shebeen Club day, I’ve got two job applications and a report do to before I go to bed, and I’m running around like a raven with my tiny birdie teeth ripped out. That’s a doubly-obscure reference, for those of you who think Poe is a waiflike Nineties singer.

You scored as Annabel Lee. Virginia Eliza Clemm Poe was dubbed as Lenore, Annabel Lee, and others in her husbands poems. She was his child bride who died when Poe was 38. He died two years later. this poem shows that love has an extreme importance to you, and even if that love stops, it never dies.
