Please Don't Divorce Us - The Courage Campaign

Gay couples contribute pictures of themselves and their loved ones,
asking California legislators not to break up their families.


Damn, that really gets me. To quote Jay, I cried "like a little bitch with a scraped knee and shit."

I really can't understand the mindset that denies such things to fellow human beings. Especially Christians - for gods' sakes, didn't Jesus say something about "what God hath joined together" and how we shouldn't "put it asunder"?

Well, clearly an appeal to their sense of what the Bible says will never work. Like I said above, Jesus said this kind of shit is not on. He also said a ton of other stuff they consistently ignore, in favor of all that blood-and-thunder Hebrew Bible stuff. Let's face it, they're cherry-pickers. It's never really about what the Bible says; it's about what ingrained prejudices they have that they can "support" with verses from what is an extremely patchwork, schizophrenic book. When you're faced with somebody who will pluck a single verse from Leviticus and use it as "law", completely ignoring or explaining away all the OTHER laws in that book because they're "outdated" (or something, I can never follow their insanity), then you're just never going to get anywhere.

I sure wish they'd all go off to Alaska or someplace and let the rest of us live in America. I'm sure Wolf-Killer and her brood will be happy to reign over them as their royal family.

Yeah. In a way, I kind of try not to blame them, poor confused fools. It's damn near impossible to form a coherent worldview out of that book WITHOUT ignoring some of it. When you look at the thing as a whole, it simply makes no sense. Constant self-contradiction, flights of illogic, weird ancient magic, etc. How is a modern human supposed to get anything out of it?

Just goes to show what a trainwreck you get when you try to combine the beliefs and mindsets of two radically different populations, i.e. ancient Hebrews and ancient Greeks. It would be tough to find two more diametrically opposed worldviews.

So they miss the whole "Do unto others..." part in favor of the mean-spirited stuff that I'm sure they're misinterpreting anyway...*shakes head*
