An Archbishop claims Satan is the source of homosexuality

During a speech made at the conservative Napa Institute Conference on August 2nd, Catholic Archbishop John C. Niendstedt of St. Paul and Minneapolis said this:

"Today, many evil forces have set their sights on the dissolution of marriage and the debasing of family life. Sodomy, abortion, contraception, pornography, the redefinition of marriage, and the denial of objective truth are just some of the forces threatening the stability of our civilization. The source of these machinations is none other than the Father of Lies. Satan knows all too well the value that the family contributes to the fabric of a good solid society, as well as the future of God's work on earth."

So, let me get this straight - Satan is behind the "evils" of: Sodomy, abortion, contraception, pornography, the redefinition of marriage, and the denial of objective truth? He has his sights set on these "evils" to try and tear apart marriages and families?

First of all, it appears as if Archbishop Niendstedt is a comedian. He believes people are being denied objective truth while he preaches about a perfect man born from the womb of a virgin, who sacrificed himself on a cross for all of mankind's sins, only to rise again three days later? Interesting...

Secondly, marriage was redefined all throughout the Bible. It has been redefined throughout human history. Does this mean Satan was one of the authors of the Bible or that we've been continuing to follow Satan's lead on redefining marriage numerous times?

Lastly, I'm quite perplexed on how Satan could have set his sights on the "evils" of both abortion and contraception. Common sense would dictate that the more humans use contraception, the less abortions they'll have due to a lesser number of unwanted pregnancies. That's quite the puzzling thought-process there:

Abortion: "Bad! The worst! An act of the devil!"

Contraception: "Bad! Awful! An act of the devil, but which makes abortions less frequent!"

Apparently, Archbishop Niendstedt doesn't feel that the acts of lying and brainwashing are devilish ones which are tearing families and marriages apart. So much for "objective truth..."

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
