		<description>Yep. Love Jesus and Mo.  
  
The name mostly came from the domain being available, but a connection to Platonic allegories would definitely sound much more intellectual.  
  
But, you are correct. Neo-Platonism was heavily merged into christianity through early gnosticism. Plus, the idealism espoused by Plato can easily lead to absolutism. When it is combined with a gnostic viewpoint that denigrates the physical world in preference for some higher spiritual realm, people tend to suffer. So, yeah, I&#039;m not much of a fan of the whole Neo-Platonism thing.  
  
Thanks for the comment. Sorry about the feedback page. I&#039;ll see if I can get that working. </description>

		<description>Re: Jesus &lt;3 Mohammed: I assume you&#039;ve read Jesus and Mo?  &lt;a href=&quot;http://(http://www.jesusandmo.net/)&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;(http://www.jesusandmo.net/)&lt;/a&gt; 
 
Also: I was wondering where your blog&#039;s name came from. A friend suggested the Allegory of the Cave, but Neo-Platonism has become merged with Church doctrine so I doubt it. 
I would email you, but I couldn&#039;t find contact info and the Feedback page is broken. </description>

		<description>Oh, yeah. Muslims are dumb for believing that an angel dictated a book to some asshole named Muhammad, but catholics aren&#039;t morons.  Catholics only believe that some asshole rose from the dead 2000 years ago.  Plus, they regularly pretend to eat his flesh and drink his blood.  Yeah.  That makes perfect sense, and it isn&#039;t the least bit creepy.  Not at all. 
 
Oh no.  Gay people can&#039;t have kids.  Well, except for all the ones who do.  Plus, it&#039;s not like there are any kids in the world in need of adoption or anything.  But you&#039;re right.  Two married law-abiding citizens that cannot have kids is just as destructive as the assholes who fly planes into skyscrapers for the glory of allah. 
 
Maybe someday, you can return to the bizarro world where the thoughts in your head actually make sense.   </description>

		<description>When people make extraordinary claims, the burden of proof is on them.  Do you feel a need to disprove the existence of leprechauns? </description>

		<description>Moslems are assholes (what makes these morons dumb is their religion), but catholics? I don&#039;t think so.
I agree with the Pope. Same-sex marriage can&#039;t produce children. From that point of view gay marriage is just as destructive as islam.</description>

		<description>But, as a heathen, have you ever asked yourself how could you negate the existence of something you believe exist like god?
I&#039;m an ex muslim.</description>

		<description>Why thank you, and welcome to my angry blog.  This is the place where I let off steam to keep my head from exploding in a fiery conflagration.  Please don&#039;t be sorry.  I love your blogs, and it is always great to meet a fellow ex-mormon.  I should say again that my anger had nothing to do with your article. 
 
Speaking of collecting gays, the one person I really felt sorry for was Ted Fairchild from the Salt lake Tribune article.  He did seem like the token gay guy at the party.  I know from personal experience how much shame the mormon church can pile onto someone, and I also know how a person can desire acceptance to the point that they are willing to deny who they are.  It is horribly sad that he thinks he has found a home among people who will never really accept him for who he is. 
 
It is a great thing that gay kids can find an ally in people like your mother, and I&#039;m glad you were able to leave while preserving your relationship with her.  I have met a few people for whom leaving meant a severing of family ties as well. 
 
Thank you, again, for the comment, and I wish you all the best.
