...when it's awesome.

Maddy turned out incredibly well.  And while I'm sure most people will think of some cruel things to say, I simultaneously doubt that anyone will consider how many characters I have in here that are sexless, nor are they even going to ask about why I'd make such a thing, the concepts I'm trying to explore, etc.

Which is fine...  sad, but fine.  Lately, I've been thinking about several things that seem to crop up in my Christian household, such as how some Christians think homosexuals are deviants of God and what not.  However, I seem to recall it stated in the New Testament that the old ways no longer matter, and that now we only have one law, the eponymous Golden Rule-"treat others as you would have yourself be treated."  So me and my Christian household come into conflict about the roll of GLBT in Christianity.

Quick note here-I think the GLBT League (or whatever they call themselves) is kinda' militant and working counter to the interests of these people at this point in time.  Just my opinion.

Anyways, what the HELL does a hermaphrodite have to do with all that?  It's simple, really.  Hermaphrodites originally come from a rare mutation.  I know there's surgery now, but this concept and condition predate modern medical techniques by a lot.  If you're on the Christian side of the equation, a Hermaphrodite IS both male and female-do you REALLY believe they should live a life of celibacy or else be God Damned homosexuals regardless of what else they do?  And on the pro-GLBT side, can you really come up with a good argument about how hermaphrodites should be social pariahs considering what you believe?

Then there's bigots, but I don't count them.  Their point is understood and they have nothing to add to the discussion.
