What happened when the New Jersey Senate vote on marriage equality went down? If you skip to around 1:12 in this video, you’ll see a woman named Aughtney Khan, whose religion apparently trumps her humanity, and whose expression of joy at the prospect of hurting gay people can be described as nothing less than unmitigated, sadistic glee. She appears to be a normal human being, but then the religious programming* kicks in:
(h/t Good-As-You)
And oh lookie, she’s a minister. Isn’t that the kind of mentally stable person you want leading you spiritually?
*And look, I’m not knocking all religious faith. I’m knocking the kind that causes people to lose their moral compasses and their humanity, in the service of meaningless, unfalsifiable dogma. The kind that causes people to rejoice in the suffering of their neighbors. In short, I’m knocking religious sadism.
That woman was absolutely nuts. There a therapists for that.
[...] A Sudden Sadistic Display of Religious Delusion [...]
Their Schadenfreude will be short lived, the handwriting is on the wall. It’s only a matter of time before we have marriage equality in NJ and eventually the rest of the nation. We are now taking this issue back to the courts in NJ. It aint over til the fat drag queen sings (from victory).
