What Would Jenny Do?

So Joy and I just had a wonderful run-in with Jenny. Would you like some background?

Jenny posted a bulletin on Myspace, siting a page where supposedly teachers were "brainwashing" children. Upon watching the videos, I retorted, praising the site for educating kids on what homosexuality is, and how it is involved in our lives.
The kids in the videos were smart and very knowledgeable, knowing when things were "prejudice" as one first-grader put it.

I replied in my own post, saying that the site was wonderful, not immoral, and I must admit, made a bash or two about Jen and her own teachings. However, she will advocate that the entire post was bashing her personally.

I get a call 2 hours later, demanding I recant the post, calling it "slander".
I declined.

Then, the 30 minute argument ensues, with her telling me that a T-Rex can be a vegetarian, despite its build (the whole claws, huge teeth and complex stomach system thing), just as a panda has teeth to eat bamboo. WTF.

We get to talking about the Creation "Museum", and she yells at me that I know nothing about her, and that "You have to look at the evidence. Not the evidence that people show you, but what you find for yourself."

To which I replied, "You have no evidence."

She said "What?"

I said "Dinosaurs have been found. We KNOW they were meat eaters. So what? You think it's wrong to teach children about homosexuality in schools, but you can tell a child that a 50 foot beast with razor-sharp teeth used them to open coconuts? (which is actually what the guides at the "museum" are told to tell you. It's on the review site)". She asks how I can know everything about dinosaurs. I said honestly, "I don't. But neither do you. And I can tell you for sure that a T-Rex wasn't given claws, a 50 foot build, massive muscles and teeth for eating ferns".

She called me arrogant. I was surprised it took that long.

She says it is something that could have happened that she and her family believe. Then she continues to how I know nothing about her again.

So Jen starts to tell me about the Bible, because I stated that it was her only source of "evidence". I told her that she glosses over parts of the Bible, while whole-heartedly believing others. She says "Like what?"
I said "Glad you asked. What about the verse about Lot in Genesis, about how a man cannot give his son to a stranger to have sex with him, but he should instead give the stranger his virgin daughters to 'do what you like with them'."

She says "What verse?"

I told her to hold on one sec, because Joy had pulled up the site earlier, and knew it better than I. Joy takes the phone and says, very calmly, "Hi Jenny, give me one sec, I know this verse better than Dann---"

Jen immediately cuts her off, saying "You stay out of this! Give the phone back to Dann!"

Joy tries to get in 2 words, informing Jen that she merely wants to read her the verse, like she ASKED for.

Jen begins to hurl accusations and screams at Joy, Joy pulls the phone away from her face, and I can hear her 3 rooms away. Jen then hangs up on Joy...who, at this point, has not even said an entire sentence yet.

Joy devastated, We call her back twice, once was me reading the verse, informing her that apparently raping your daughter is better than homosexuality.

The second was Joy, letting Jen know she had no reason to scream at her, especially before she even knew what Joy was going to say...which was the verse she asked for.

What is the moral here?

I don't really know. I don't think there is one. Fuck, this is how wars get started. If I had oil reserves in my backyard, they would've invaded me already.

So Dann may never see Noah and Sophia again. But I think I was prepared for that. Because in a few years, the 3 of us probably won't recogize each other anymore.
I haven't recogized Jenny for awhile. Same for Jason.
But they got over it. So I did too.

Yes, Dann and Jenny don't mix. She thinks I'm arrogant, I know she's blindfolded, and life continues. I, however, will remain comfortable in knowing that MY daughter will never be handed over to a strange dude on my porch in the middle of the night.

As for Jen...
Well...she never answered that question.
