Re: West coast versus Southern religious tolerance.

Shall I wade into these shark infested waters for a quick dip? I shall.

The real beef the Gay Community has with the Mormon Church according to this site is that the Church was the big money behind the proponents of prop 8. Curiously, the gay community suggest boycotting the Utah ski slopes as a form of financial punishment for the state. The Gay lobby recommends that tourists "get their snow fix" in Colorado or California. California? Isn't California the state that voted against same sex marriage in prop 8? I guess the Mormon money made em do it.

Hence, the burning of the book of Mormon, and some other instances of in your face activities by homosexuals incensed by the vote's outcome and the LDS involvement. I couldn't help but notice that the burning BOM was found at a church in Colorado and not in Utah. Maybe those Utah Mormons aren't so sissified after all.

As an aside, the GC also aims to convince Robert Redford to move his lib-fest Sundance Movie Festival out of Utah. I guess red-neck, ass-backward South Carolina is out of the question. How about open minded, accepting Colorado or California? Oh, that vote...

Lost in the kerfuffle is the sticky fact that black people voted overwhelmingly against same sex marriage. Apparently black Californians draw the line at skin color when doling out the civil rights credentials. Here is a google search with several hilarious attempts by bloggers to absolve blacks of their sinful prop 8 vote. Hehehe.

Furthermore, the gay community loves to rant about narrow minded religious people, but I've never heard nor seen any gays (or liberals for that matter) pounding the protest pavement outside a Mosque. Where are the Koran burners? While Christianity in virtually all it's forms does condemn homosexuality, it does not call for the stoning of same sexers as does Islam. I suppose it is easier to protest against civilized people than it is against people who will cut off your genitals and feed them to you. And birth rates of the aforementioned head (and genital) choppers are growing dramatically world wide. Note to the GC: If demographics keep going in their present direction, in a few generations you'll be relieved to be living amongst the narrow minds of Christianity, for they will certainly defend your lives, your liberties and your pursuits of happiness even if they won't recognize your marriages.

The American and Christian tradition concerning marriage is one man and one woman: Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve. Live as you please and love who you want, but don't expect the deeply held religious convictions of Americans concerning marriage to disappear simply because you disagree with them.

Well now, I just realized I've ranted on and not mentioned one thing concerning Southern religious tolerance. One thing, and I'm not sure this qualifies: I have attended numerous churches in several Southern states and I never heard anything remotely resembling the racial crap that the Obamatron sat through for twenty years at Trinity Church in Chicago. That's a different kind of Jesus they got up there in Mob world. Hi Ho.

Only because you know you can't get away with it.

You'd try it if you didn't know Bob Jones "University" (LMAO) would get torched.

Ducky "done went" and played the Bob Jones Card on me.

Oh but they are "getting away with it" Ducky. Lesbian stonings are on Wednesday, gay men stonings are on Friday, and transgender stonings (a new feature) is Saturday. Admission is free, but you do have to provide your own stones...assuming you have some. If not, the university will rent you a sack.

No Sunday stonings are allowed.

Thanks for stopping by!
