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"?

As much as I believe people should be free to have any religion they choose (so long as they keep it to themselves and don't get it all over anybody else), I have to say that I've always felt Christianity to be an extremely childish religion. Its very structure encourages people to be mean, self-centered, and self-righteous, and to never, ever grow up, no matter what. Pretty much every level-headed, accepting Christian I know has told me about how hard it's been to overcome all the shit in their religion that is hateful and mean-spirited, which is A LOT.

Which is why I gave it up for Lent when I was fifteen. I just can't get with a faith that expects less of me than any high-school teacher, employer, or sane SO. Such low standards their god has. *shakes head sadly*

Yep, its about blindly following rules like a bunch of kindergartners who are afraid of breaking any kind of "rule". Only these rules encourage meanness and closed-mindedness.

If you think the Salem Witch Trials are over, have you heard all the fundies who think they hear "Islam is the light" from some babbling cooing doll? The doll babbles nonsensically but apparently someone somewhere heard "Satan is King" and "Islam is the light". Power of persuasion much? The racist and bigoted things coming from these people's mouths as they talk about what their children are being "exposed to" and forcing stores to take this doll off the shelf...Yeah, Jesus would be all for that. *nods* Not.

God, I really hate organized religion. :( (sorry for ranting sort of incoherently, I'm tired)!
