Get Ready for some FIREWORKS
-
a former Baptist pastor from Texas, who is also against same-sex marriage, has taken it one step further - and beyond - by declaring that he will set himself on fire if the Supreme Court rules in favor of marriage equality.
Oh man I hope it's televised!
-
>a former Baptist pastor
Pretty sure they don't support suicide. You aren't a martyr if you do it yourself. The seminary that ordained this guy should be shut down.
-
It says he's already "former."
Whatever...he won't follow through, just like no celebrity follows through when moving to Canada when a Republican wins an election.

One of the guys in the office today had an oculus rift, and let another guy (who is gay) try it. We were all slightly puzzled about his sudden exclamation of "Gay marriage!?" until I returned to my desk and saw this thread.
-

I second that vote. They need a catchy name for the event. I suggest "Bigot-B-Q".
-
It says "former", smart guy.
He obviously left the church so he could set himself on fire.
-
It says "former", don't you know anything?
-
What does he form?

What does he form?
Carbon.
Edit: Or a fantastically high medical bill that we (the public) will be paying.

He obviously left the church so he could set himself on fire.
Note: being set on fire != burning to death. So he totally could do something like light himself up, then douse it.

Apparently I know nothing, including what the word "former" means.
-
Obviously.

While burns can be very expensive, they don't have to be. The big costs come from grafting which is at 3rd degree (though it can be needed for 2nd that is almost to 3). But otherwise it's basically keep clean and change the wraps a lot.

K, so, we can disregard your post, since that's the kind we're talking about.
-
No, we're not talking about burn wards, get the fuck out of here.
We're talking about people who make crazy promises to protest when an event they don't like happens, then invariably chicken-out of those promises.
-
Depends on which accelerant he decides to use. He could use something like alcohol which is going to be 2nd without multiple applications. That would let him, at least technically, keep his word.

Remember, folks, everything Blakey says is true for all time.
-

I think the better technicality to get out of it would be to go get a haircut, pile up the clippings, and light those.

-
Yeah, then he'd really be flaming...
...oh wait, that was the joke.

So...at the very least he is getting burned alive on Twitter.

For the record, I am in favour of gay marriage.
Why should gay people be protected from making the same mistakes as the rest of us?

@PJH said:One like is insufficient...
Agreed; it needs a salute:
-

Agreed. @Salamander can take my like of your post as an additional like for his since I can only like his post once.

Reverse ferret, as expected.

Gosh, NPCs are looking really realistic these days. The AI still sucks, though.
-
"clarifying his remarks"
Heh.

However, some US citizens didn’t take the news well and are now threatening to move to Canada as a result.
Canada legalised same-sex marriage in 2005. Gay and bisexual couples have been having same-sex marriages there for over a decade.
