ARGHHHH!
No, that is NOT my pirate impersonation.
I swear to GOG. The more I read, the less I realize I know, and the high my blood pressure climbs.
What the fuck is wrong with these people, that they think they are their "god"'s representative on earth? What the fuck makes them so damn sure that they are right? Talk about fucking ego...
Here's a clip....
Two weeks from today voters across the country will head to the polls to decide on issues ranging from child custody laws to school funding. Several states however will decide on issues of personal freedom and equal rights.
One of the more astounding is an attempt to roll back the rights of homosexuals in Maine, being spearheaded by religious right leaders both in the state and nationally.
Earlier this year, Maine’s governor signed legislation banning discrimination based on sexual orientation. Maine’s Christian Civic League immediately went into action, collecting signatures to allow a “Peoples Veto”. The religious right got its signatures, so on November 8th Mainers will head to the polls to vote on whether the law should be repealed (a “YES” vote will allow discrimination, a “NO” vote will uphold the law). According to the Christian Civic League:
If sexual orientation is added to Maine’s legal code it will start the implementation of policies that discriminate against people with traditional views of morality.
This makes sense.
The majority of Mainers see it differently, as do a growing number of Maine’s Christian community. Churches across the state have come out in support of this law ensuring civil liberties for homosexuals, and opposing the position of the Christian Civic League. As David Henry of Lamoine Baptist Church told the Bangor Daily News, “Jesus never called on us to hate anyone on account of anything…..We are called to love in genuine ways.”

I wonder how long it would take them to arrest that long-haired hippy freak Jesus under the Patriot Act.
