Dan Savage talks about the bible and Christian students flee (page 2)

Unfortunately his valid points about the bible are overshadowed because of his (embittered) delivery method.

I couldn't tell if this was in a high school auditorium directed toward high school kids or not, but if it was, his choice of words was inappropriate -- even calling the ones who left "pansy asses"...

Lesson here: how to muddy up a good logical review of the bible with stupidity and ignorance.

.02 worth.

Nevermind his message, you guys are missing the real issue here. I'd wager those bigots were judging him based on his skin color.

A good example of looking at one piece of work over a lifetime of effort. well done, NEO-CONS!

I'm not a Neo-con... But his delivery choice did him no favors. I guess everyone is entitled to a bad day here and there..

cheers..

drrr, well, those who have actually read his column for the past decade or so, with its no-nonsense about sex advice, and knowing a bit about of the history of the subject, might just have a different opinion ... just sayin' ... education is well, not everything, but, well, you decide. :(

I don't know about the dynamics of the crowd, but from the view of this video, one girl is leaving as soon as he mentions gays. Then there is a bunch that leave after he mentions slavery. And they are all white students. I get the impression that these people weren't upset with his use of the word "bullsh!t", they seemed most upset that he would refer to the Bible's teachings on slavery as being unethical. Was he speaking at "White Supremacy High School"?
