Killing Kittens's definitions

science fiction

A genre of naturalistic fantasy that usually has no basis whatsoever in scientific fact.

'Star Wars' is not science fiction; it's a big dumb fantasy movie about space wizards. 'The Matrix' is not science ficiton either; it's a comic book action movie with a pretentious pseudo-philosophy thrown in. What then, constitutes science fiction? A piece that actually cares about the plausibility of its ideas; a rarified sub-set of literature and cinema to be certain.

Christianity

One of the world's dominant religions, combining the philosophy of the Greeks with pagan practices and the moral rigor of Judaism, centered around the teachings of Jesus (Yeshua).

Christian theology has ingeniously solved the dilemma of mercy and justice and provided the basis for equality before the law, appreciation of science and education, and the addition of a moral basis to political structures, and the truest rationale for human rights.

Many of the ant-christian intellectual elite would like us to believe, however, that before Christianity, mankind lived a peaceful and idyllic existence without corruption, bigotry, or warfare.

Those angry about Christianity are often using christian standards of right and wrong.

Friendship

A method of castrating men without using sharp objects.

From David DeAngelo's article:

She looked at him with compassion in her eyes
and said "Thank you... I really mean that... but
I don't want to mess up our friendship... you're
too important to me...".

gender

A societal construct that is, in actuality, about as useless and restrictive as race.

There may be unfathomable, uncrossable chasm that exist between certain types of people, but gender should not be considered one of them.

someday

That time in the future in which you will eventually find love, happiness and financial security, which you wait for indefinitely.

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll get a girlfriend someday. Just don't ask me what my assumption is based upon and stop following me.

straw man

A favorite opponent of philosophers, politicians, pseudo-intellectuals, real intellectuals, atheists, creationists, political activists, and conspiracy theorists, and a perennially useful one at that.

Said the creationist to the uninformed, using his favorite straw man, "Since randomly jamming your television set rarely fixes any problem, the blind process of evolution is therefore a scientific improbability."

censorship

Legal vandalization of art.

"The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion." --Henry Steele
