Flashback Friday, a column on feminist notions... An email doing the rounds, I received this from a Facebook connection - but via the email: A pornographic movie is being shot and is intended to show up in America soon, which shows Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals.

Find alternative ways of understanding and applying experiences. • Reality is an open-source proposition and are up for discussion, they are not laws - this is the basic thing he thinks he is writing about in all his media.
