In the aftermath of Amendment One in North Carolina (don't sheeple understand that Civil Rights must not be left to the vote? Erm... purely rhetorical because they're sheeple and aren't equipped to understand anyway), I found a very interesting photo.
It completely illustrate the utter, irremediable (and sad) stupidity of the common bigot.
When I saw this:
the only thing I thought was: 'Oh, cool! Pastor Pearsall is encouraging threesomes.'
If I'm not mistaken, these "people" think that their God is real, and so, this declaration, made directly by the pastor or one of his sheeple, means that true marriage is a threesome.
I'm being unfair, I know.
I know that they wanted to add a religious dimension to their belief that a "true marriage" can only be between a man and a woman, but even "under God" would sound like cheap porn.
I know that they wanted to use BIG letters (do their flock have difficulties reading? That might explain a few things, too), and thus got limited in a number of letters they could use (like a tweet on a board), but grammar is definitely not really on their side here.
Sorry, guys! I could help with the text, being a writer and an editor, but... *snorts* No way in hell (pun intended).
Oh. Wait.
I'm being uncharitable.
So, from the bottom of my warm lil' heart, I'm giving you (gratis, for free, no kidding):
TRUE MARRIAGE =
TWO CONSENTING ADULTS
Full stop!
PS: now, go help some people in need, quit being so judgemental, join the 21st century, and don't be adult bullies. Ta! Muchly.

I would have voted against Amendment One if I could, but I don't live in NC. As far as church goes, it has no place in government. As long as the government is not keeping a church from operating (and that church is not actively harming any group of people outside their doors) then both should adopt a 'live and let live' methodology. (obviously, I use 'church' in place of any group ruled by some sort of deity or prophet.) Living in this country means you need to abide by the laws. But the laws need to be made by folks who are not making them according to their personal religious goals. If they wish to ALSO live according to a set of rules ascribed by their personal religion, great! However, Persons A, B, and C may all have different religions. That's why bringing personal religions into government is a horrible idea.
Separation of State and church got eroded on your side of the pond recently.
If I were in NC, I'd have voted against Amendment One, too.
I bet my face matched my expression from the day Prop 8 passed in Ca! I just couldn't believe what I was reading.
Too much religion's never good, but when bigots are in charge, they want their "flavour" to be the only one on the market. *sigh*
Seriously, if I live long enough, I'll become an angry, little old lady... ;)
