new prop8 decision today

[ceez]

There were these fundies where I used to live (California) who gave me (and the kids I help take care) a hard time and if it hadn't been for a lawyer I think we would've wound up on the streets because of all the crap they pulled (my then 12-year-old had some sharp words for a preacher's daughter over the preacher trying to get her mom fired and us evicted as being because they were supposedly concerned over our children's welfare).

So when passing some of the neighbors (including the woman who gave my then 12-year-old girl a pamphlet on why the Bible obligates Christians to hate gays for her to read before giving to me and her mom, though my girl was 13 by then) immediately after the 2010 World Series I put my hand in the air and danced a jig like a Pentecostal (having grown up in the East Texas Bible Belt I do know what that looks like) shouting, "God loves gays! God loves hippies! God loves San Francisco! THE GIANTS WON OVER TEXAS!"

Well aren't they the ones who keep saying God should be thanked for everything? :tongue:

I repeated that to a liberal friend and she snarked, "Obviously Satan intervened on that one."

I don't get the "Christian" people who are suppose to spread peace an love but instead spread hate for a small percentage of the population who supposedly has a mission in progress to rule the entire world. but it's starting to sound like the arguments on prop 8 are less about gay marriage and more about the governments ability to take away voter rights.
