[...] That’s right. The Maryland Marriage Alliance is going far beyond mere political campaigning here — their extremist rhetoric puts them in the company of notorious anti-gay extremists like Archbishop John Nienstedt, Australian Salvation Army Major Andrew Craibe, and the Westboro Baptist Church.

I wish you could edit after the fact. My print is so small that I always seem to screw something up when I type.

Gary: are talking snakes and donkeys and Noah’s Ark really “literary devices”? Is holding up a staff in the sky and having the sun stop in the air a literary device? Is having a million nomadic goatherds wandering on the Sinai Peninsula for 40 years a literary device? Is living to 969 years of age a literary device? Is feeding 5000 people with a few trout and a couple of loaves of bread a literary device? What about the water of the Nile turning to blood? Or turning water into wine? Or finding a coin in a fish’s mouth? Or hell, being swallowed by a big fish and vomited up on a beach intact 3 days later? The list could go on and on.

Modern religionists don’t consider them to be factual because they are patently absurd, but that is a relatively recent phenomenon. Modern religionists have had to continuously reinvent their beliefs to conform to the undeniable evidence of the natural world around us. Their assumptions, convolutions and contortions to try to make bronze-age writings and the accompanying 2 millennia of subsequent squabbling about them mean something are extremely boring to all but the uninitiated. That goes for fundagelical and liberal religionists alike.

It’s disgusting to see children being abused like that.
ps..talking snakes and donkeys are literary devices and metaphors and except for fundamentalists, no modern ‘religionists’ consider them to be factual as we understand that word today.

All of this argument about bronze-aged rules and edicts developed by some Semitic goatherds millennia ago is so boring. How christianists (and other religionists) can spend hours nit-picking over the obscure and equivocal writings of people who believed in talking snakes and donkeys and Noah’s Ark is beyond fathoming. What a waste of time. Listening to the religious blatherings of members of the Westboro Klan is the ultimate waste of time.

The only thing I agree with Phelps on is that the presidential candidates aren’t that different. Other than that, he’s pretty g*****n crazy. We need more religious moderates and agnostics in this world.

Oh my GAWD! He looks like he’s carrying a few (more than a few) extra pounds. Refresh my memory..what does the Bible say about gluttony?
The Bible also states that people who work on the Sabbath should be put to death!! I am gay and sometimes have to work weekends…. I am so screwed!

I doubt his God will be happy with the hatred and lack of compassion he has displayed.
