had never seen ‘exit through the gift shop’ …. went to the mr. brainwash show …. thought it was fascinating … then watched the documentary after …. felt extremely cheated / conflicted.
Anonymous asked: what religion are you? you should be proud of that:)
it’s literally december 24th, 9pm, eastern standard time. get it?
“feeling godless then, what we have done is made technology god. and yet can technology really be the answer when a brand new buick, driven by my close associate, nat zipsky, winds up in the window of chicken delight causing hundreds of customers to scatter? my toaster has never once worked properly in four years. I follow the instructions and push two slices of bread down in the slots and...
ganeagla asked: Hey Jack! What was the inspiration behind Leave You Traveling?
apparently every time my mother wears either the fun. or steel train LGBTQ rights shirts people ask her if her kids are gay. is that not the most perfect example of what our problem is as a culture? she wants to make a shirt that says, “i support gay rights and none of my kids are gay.”
Anonymous asked: Hey Jack! I was just wondering what tattoos you have/where you have them, if that's not too creepy.
air-to-the-thrown asked: Hey Jack! My friends and I are huge fans of the band ever since Aim and Ignite came out. We were wondering what is your personal favorite fun. Song as of right now?
thewestmezzanine asked: Just so you know, ever since you answered my ask, I've been getting really awesome messages from people (both Christians and non-Christians) apologizing for what people have done to me and telling me to stay strong. I haven't gotten a single bit of hate, which is a lot better than I was expecting. So, like, thank you for that. I sort of want to make you "thanks for not being a...
‘like being a woman, like being racial, religious, tribal or ethnic minority, being LGBT does not make you less human. and that is what gay rights are human rights and human rights are gay rights’- hillary clinton
Anonymous asked: I feel like Perry's entire message just didn't make sense. It was almost as if he used "religion" and "Christianity" synonymously, refusing to acknowledge that any other type of religion exists. He wants children to be allowed to pray in school and openly celebrate Christmas, but he doesn't mention anything about non-Christian holidays or practices. Ironic how he...

Anonymous asked: Honestly, you're just talking about how homosexual people are being bullied and it's so wrong, and that is very true...but in response to that, all you're doing is bullying the religions and people that take part of them. How does that get anywhere?
Anonymous asked: I am a gay, female, Christian pastor and I have been very interested in your Q&A's the past week or so. I have been encouraged by the questions that have been asked as well as by your answers, not because I agree with everything that has been written, but because a conversation is happening, a conversation that far too often does not happen because doctrine and belief are treated as more...
Anonymous asked: as an Islam, I'm not really "approving" to gay marriage, but I think the point is to let them be what they are. bullying is not the right way to tell them that it's wrong (for the homophobic). they deserve to live safely.
UFO sighting!
thewestmezzanine asked: Speaking as a transgender teenager who's been the victim of two violent hate crimes, countless cruelly ended friendships, and nonstop verbal abuse (all in the name of the christian god), I agree with you on the religion front. I'm automatically terrified of all religious people until they give me a reason not to be.
Anonymous asked: Jack, I'm a HUGE fan of Fun...& a practicing Catholic. I'm also a HUGE supporter of gay rights & accepting all. I see what you're saying about some of the "official" messages of Christian churches, but it's kind of unfair in my eyes to single out the Christian faith as a whole. The Jewish faith shares the same Old Testament with the Christian faith, and Islam...
adamcarrico asked: Yeah, I am Christian and believe in equality as well, and it sucks when so many people within my faith are so hateful and it hurts equally bad when people who are for equality bash my faith for this reason. I am all about everyone treating everyone equally, I hate judgement on any realm whatsoever, because at its roots, that is what each group talks against, but many times they both don't...
thecolorabigail asked: I became a Christian four months ago and when I joined my local church, they were more than fine with the fact I date girls as well as guys and that I'm also a member of the local LGBT youth group. My step-dad's best friends are a married gay couple so as important as my faith is, the LGBT community is always gonna be just as important. Guess I'm lucky to have found such an...
