Human Rights and Mythology

I've just read the following comment on an article about the changing opinions of different religious groups on gay marriage:

"Gay marriage is not acceptable. God has created Adam and eve not Adam and Steve."

Perhaps Genesis is not a particularly reliable account of the formation of the human race, and should perhaps be taken with a pinch of salt. Or maybe God just thought it would be a good idea for the first two humans to reproduce?

By all means believe it, but don't base fundamental human rights on it. That is all.

Recently I've been rather worried. I love Twitter, and quite like Facebook. It's nice to share that amusing little thought that popped into my head. Or vent that little bit of anger caused by poor customer service in a national electronics chain store. Or tell the world that I'm currently at Firebug. 

The reason I'm worried is that I think Twitter and Facebook are causing me to actually think in units of 140 characters (or the longer and much less famous limit set by Facebook). When I stopped chuckling to myself when I saw something funny, and instead started actually thinking "LOL!!!", I knew I had a problem. Sometimes it would be nice to express myself in several sentences. 

So I've set up a posterous account. It was a tough choice between posterous and tumblr, although the fact that Katy Perry uses tumblr helped a lot. Also the Tweetdeck guys use posterous and they seem to know what they're doing.

I sort of feel compelled to write a longer first post, but I really can't be arsed. Goodnight.
