		<description><![CDATA[In the past I've made some <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/religion/in-defense-of-marriage/">sarcastic posts</a> about DOMA and traditional aka biblical marriage. To continue in that vein here's an instructional video by Betty Bowers on traditional marriage as defined by biblical precedent:
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="450" height="283"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OFkeKKszXTw?fs=1&#38;hl=en_US&#38;color1=0x3a3a3a&#38;color2=0x999999&#38;border=1" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="283" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OFkeKKszXTw?fs=1&#38;hl=en_US&#38;color1=0x3a3a3a&#38;color2=0x999999&#38;border=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
<strong class="highlight">Betty Bowers on Traditional Marriage Per The Bible</strong></p>
Yes, the video is needlessly harsh, insulting, and sarcastic. It also uses some pretty far-fetched interpretation of biblical passages - e.g., there's no theological basis for saying Eve seduced Cain; it's far more likely that he took one of his unnamed in the Bible sisters to wife. That doesn't, however, mean that it doesn't contain a number of simple truths about what Yahweh supposed endorses by way of marriage.]]></description>

<strong class="highlight">Betty Bowers on Traditional Marriage Per The Bible</strong></p>
<p>Yes, the video is needlessly harsh, insulting, and sarcastic. It also uses some pretty far-fetched interpretation of biblical passages &#8211; e.g., there&#8217;s no theological basis for saying Eve seduced Cain; it&#8217;s far more likely that he took one of his unnamed in the Bible sisters to wife. That doesn&#8217;t, however, mean that it doesn&#8217;t contain a number of simple truths about what Yahweh supposed endorses by way of marriage.</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/king-solomon.jpg" alt="King Solomon" title="King Solomon" width="150" height="214" class="left-image" />Christians, you need to <em>read</em> your Bible; it is, after all, your holy book and, as such, more than worthy of individual study.</p>
<p>In it are many passages that show that Abraham&#8217;s God seemed to have little or no problem with many forms of marriage beyond &#8220;one man and one woman.&#8221; Indeed, nowhere&#8217;s in the Bible is monogamy ever explicitly described as a requirement. </p>
<p>Divorce, contrariwise, <em>was</em> expressly forbidden in both Old and New Testaments.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the Bible <em>does</em> maintain that same-sex marriage, along with a number of other acts now generally considered OK, is right out, forbidden, and an abomination to be treated with abhorrence and lethal violence.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><img class="left-image" style="margin-top:5px;" title="jonolan" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/dark.thumbnail.jpg" alt="" width="36" height="36" /><em>Remember, God hates fags &#8211; though possibly <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/religion/is-lesbianism-ok/">not lesbians</a>, multi-cropping / under-planting, poly-cotton blends, gaudy jewelry, and shellfish. <img src='http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' />  </em></p>
<p>So, my dear Christian sometimes-allies, have some fun with this if you can. Think a bit on it though; there&#8217;s truth buried in any bit of humor, elsewise it wouldn&#8217;t be funny.</p>

<strong class="highlight">A Soldier&#8217;s Night Before Christmas</strong></p>
<p>So when your enjoying opening your Christmas presents tomorrow and/or enjoying watching your loved ones open theirs, give a moments thought to present you&#8217;ve all recieved &#8211; your liberty, security, and prosperity. They didn&#8217;t come from Santa and they were purchased with Amex or Visa; they were <em>leased</em> with the blood, sweat, and tears of the men and women of our armed services.</p>
<p>Yes, your liberty, security, and prosperity were and are gifts. You likely did not earn them and, given the degeneration of American society, you likely don&#8217;t deserve them. </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><img class="left-image" style="margin-top:5px;" title="jonolan" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/dark.thumbnail.jpg" alt="" width="36" height="36" /><em>To my fellow Pagans and Heathens &#8211; It was just Yule and these men and women offered themselves up to the Wicker Man in our names in all willingness and in the fullness of knowledge.</em></p>
<p>That&#8217;s the best part presents &#8211; <em>and rights</em> &#8211; though, isn&#8217;t it? You don&#8217;t have to earn them or deserve them as long as someone else is willing to foot the bill.</p>
<p>Merry Christmas and a Blessed Yuletide.</p>

<p>Fortunately, Roxy Fedaro (Christina Applegate, actually) has released a prenatal exercise DVD that should help. <img src='http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<strong class="highlight">Roxy Fedaro&#8217;s Prenatal Pole Dancing DVD!</strong></p>
<p>Watching Christina&#8217;s Applegate&#8217;s spoof video put me in an odd position; I didn&#8217;t know whether to fall on the kitchen floor laughing or gouge out my own eyes and try to pour bleach on my brain.</p>
<p>The only lingering bit of sadness this video engenders is that, given the growing depravity of American society, there probably is, or soon will be, a real life Roxy Fedaro and a commercial such as this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Despite it being based upon a postulate that has been deprecated as <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/environment/an-inaccurate-postulate/">largely false and entirely unproven</a>, I could almost respect the people who made this video.

<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="445" height="364" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eDFFbiIbm2c&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="445" height="364" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eDFFbiIbm2c&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
<strong class="highlight">Want To Slow Global Warming? Stop Immigration!</strong></p>
<p>If both everything and only that which the Warmists claim were true, then this video would be, by and large, true. Halting or greatly reducing and restricting immigration to America from the Third World would slow the rate of Anthropogenic Climate Change.</p>
<h3>The Truth</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s <a title="Audubon Society - U.S. Population Growth" href="http://www.audubonpopulation.org/uspop.html" target="_blank">grim and scary fact</a> that the US Census Bureau&#8217;s middle and most likely projection is that the US will add 120 million people to the population of the U.S. by 2050 and that 67% of this population explosion will be due to immigration and the progeny of immigrants.</p>
<p>Each and every one of those immigrants and their broods are going to expect to live somewhat akin as to how Americans live, an admittedly wildly resource consuming lifestyle. The slightly over 80 million immigrants and children of immigrants will require America to produce, expend, and/or consume:</p>
<ul>
<li>28 million more housing units</li>
<li>37 million more passenger automobiles</li>
<li>1.9 <em>billion</em> more barrels of oil per year</li>
<li>4.4 <strong><em>quadrillion</em></strong> <a title="Data360 - Average Water Use - US" href="http://www.data360.org/dataset.aspx?Data_Set_Id=2676" target="_blank">gallons of water</a> per year</li>
</ul>
<p>Even to the majority of people, those who haven&#8217;t bought into Al Gore&#8217;s doomsday cult of AGW, have to see that these numbers are not sustainable. If the US Census Bureau&#8217;s projections are close to accurate, America  has a future measured in years and not very many of those.</p>
<h3>The Stupidity</h3>
<p>Whether true or not, this video and the intent behind it is stupid. It&#8217;s farcical to think for a moment that Greens, Liberals, and Progressives who make up the Warmists would ever entertain any thought that was not expressly and  actively pro-immigration and/or pro-minority. Those sorts would <em>never</em> consider advocating such things as limiting immigration from Third World areas.</p>
<p>Irrespective of whatever they&#8217;ve ever stated about the problem of Global Warming, their chosen solutions have always had far more to do with wealth distribution than with combating Climate Change.</p>
<p>At the most fundamental level, if that wasn&#8217;t the case, then they wouldn&#8217;t have mono-focused on CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. They would have also looked at CO2 emission levels from <a title="Mongabay - Cooking oil, palm oil biodiesel can reduce emissions relative to diesel mongabay.com" href="http://news.mongabay.com/2007/1128-biodiesel.html" target="_blank">biofuel / biomass production</a> and that of charcoal, which is a primary fuel for much of the Third World. They also might have &#8211; still adhering to their postulate of Anthropogenic Global Warming  of course &#8211; done some serious research into the climatic effects of the levels of deforestation both these processes cause.</p>
<p>But such things are not and never will be part of any Green&#8217;s, Liberal&#8217;s, or Progressives&#8217; agenda. No matter what their current <em>cause célèbre</em> is, their &#8220;solutions&#8221; are all the same and do not include anything resembling the ideas in this video.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s stupid to believe that the Green&#8217;s, Liberal&#8217;s, or Progressives&#8217; have the capability or will to understand or to change their ways.</p>
