Dad Outed by Facebook

JoT 1755 – Outed by Facebook

In this week’s first Joy of Tech comic: Outed by Facebook, Nitrozac and Snaggy poke fun at a Letter that is currently a hot topic on r/atheism over on reddit by RegBarc and an image of the letter being spread on Facebook:

“James: This is a difficult but necessary letter to write. I hope your telephone call was not to receive my blessing for the degrading of your lifestyle. I have fond memories of our times together, but that is all in the past. Don’t expect any further conversations With me. No communications at all. I will not come to visit, nor do I want you in my house. You’ve made your choice though Wrong it may be. God did not intend for this unnatural lifestyle. If you choose not to attend my funeral, my friends and family will understand. Have a good birthday and good life. No present exchanges will be accepted. Goodbye, Dad.”

Some Family Values.  I’ve always thought it was easier to Love than to Hate.  It’s very sad that someone claiming to be Christian could be so cold and disown his son.  Maybe one day we’ll live it a world where its pejorative to say, “you’re so Christian” instead of “you’re so gay.”
