That's right, those nukes are way past due.

I found it by accident when I was looking for Trajan font. Turned out that
article was a lot more fun than the font I was searching for...Seems like
something out of an Monty Python-movie.

Re this paragraph from the page:
"God is thus associating the "SHAME" of long hair with the "VILE"
affections of the sodomites and homosexuals. Our generation has made
long hair acceptable and is seeking to legalize and popularize
homosexuality. Now, we have homosexual churches and other churches that
gladly welcome them into their membership. Long hair and homosexuality
do not always go together, but they are very compatible. They both
represent a revolt against God given nature, and against His precious
Word."
The ironic thing is that very few homosexuals have long hair(even most
crossdressers wear wigs).Christians...blind as usual.

Whilst doing so I realised that, in good Christian tradition, the piece is
extremely badly written and self-contradictory. Here's some of my comments
on it:
"Many men today are wearing their hair long. This style seems to have had
it's start in modern times by certain musical groups such as the Beatles and
others"
Of course, no-one wore long hair until the Beatles became popular. It's
obviously just a 20th century fashion craze.
"The hippie movement, which has spread like a plague..."
I know hippies don't wash much but that's a bit harsh, surely?
"The 'Jesus Freaks' and other religious hippie cults..."
This from The Tabernacle Baptists. Pots and kettles anyone?
They then go on to say how Christ could not have had long hair, as short
hair was the fashion amongst Romans then. Thing is, J.C. was Jewish, and
I'm pretty sure long hair and beards are the in thing for the discerning
Jew.
Then of course, the long-hair bashing starts...
"Many popular pictures...have perpetuated the *satanic* idea that Jesus wore
long hair"
"Doth not even Nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is
a shame unto him?"
"...a man should have short hair and a woman long hair... I HAVE NEVER SEEN
A BALD HEADED WOMAN"
Crawl out from under that stone sometime soon
"This surely must be 'nature' teaching us"
Strange, you said earlier that it was Roman fashion, not nature.
"There should be a clear distinction between the hair of a man and a woman"
Well, usually the womans hair is in nicer condition ;-)
"We can think of only one long haired man in the Bible...He was the wicked
son of David"
"Among men, the wearing of long hair is now reprobated as a sign of
effeminacy"
Never met any bikers, obviously. And if long hair is satanic and effeminate
at the same time, that doesn't really say much for the devil. Can you
imagine how many people would have become Christians if the early
God-botherers had said "Join us, or you will go to hell. There you will be
tortured for eternity by the Devil! But he's a big girl really"
The writer also associates long hair with "base lusts, vile passions". And
that's a bad thing?
"God is thus associating the 'SHAME' of long hair with the 'VILE' affections
of the sodomites and homosexuals. our generation has made long hair
acceptable and is seeking to legalise and popularise homosexuality"
Really? Silly me, I thought homosexuality was already legal. And it's a
modern thing as well? Well I never. I thought it was rife in Jesus' time,
with Greeks frequently taking "boy lovers" and Emperor Caligula (I think)
employing young boys to suck him off in his bath house and swimming pool.
"LONG HAIR AND HOMOSEXUALITY DO NOT ALWAYS GO TOGETHER, BUT THEY ARE VERY
COMPATIBLE"
I better watch the boyfriend then, he has long hair. Oh no, he wears
leather too! He must be secretly gay. I'll never let him step in a public
toilet again!
"PREACHERS, CHURCHES AND PARENTS MUST STAND AGAINST LONG HAIR"
They could stand *on* it if it's long enough
"Parents who allow a son to grow and wear long hair are contributing to a
rebellion against God and against our country"
Considering this is probably American, it's a bit rich. "Against our
country"? Read the constitution. (apologies if this isn't from the US but
most rabid bible-thumpers come from there)
And my favourite part of the whole article:
"Let us read this verse carefully..."
Yes lets. We wouldn't want to quote out of context or enforce our own
meanings on it, would we? As for the hatred of long hair and gays, I
suggest this man read the bible, especially the parts about "loving thy
neighbour".

wasn't there someone called samson in it
who had received his strength from god in his hair
gee
must have been in some other bible
or, of course, samson was gay
and he just pretended it with delila (or whatever her name was)
and i definitely like the part about having long hair means being soft and
feminine
hehehe
guess he has never met any of my friends :-)

heh... for what it's worth that was Tiberius, according to Rome's own
would-be gossip-columnist, Suetonius. Caligula was better known for
commiting incest with at least one of his sisters, cross-dressing in
imitation of the goddess Venus, and cowering from thunderstorms.
