The Preterist Podcast is part of a trio of resources for the study of orthodox preterism including The PreteristSite and The Preterist Blog. A more personal site, d-dizzle fo shizzle, is being worked on. Don’t visit yet - the theme sucks, and I need to change it. If you do not share my love of Xena, 24, and Apple - prolly not a place you will want to visit. If you are an Apple freak as I am, be sure to check out i drank the koolaid; a satirical Apple fan blog.

[...] Ep.18- How Now Purple Cow [...]
“Before the devil makes us gay”? What the mess? That’s a weird way for the rapper you played to make a rhyme work.
That is my favourite line in the whole song. We had better watch and pray before the devil makes us gay, with the limp wrist motion.
It is satire my friend, making fun of silly oversimplistic Left Behindism. IOW, it isn’t serious. And we all know that the devil doesn’t make us gay, Barney does.
