Gays Are the New "Coloreds"

Well, well, it seems that the Neo-Nazi religious fanatics in this country have found themselves a whole new group of people to subjugate, and apparently the Supreme Court in the People's Republic of Kalifornia think it's just A-OK with them. I'm talking about Prop 8, of course, the bill that basically states that homosexuals are second-class citizens.
Think that's over-simplified? Think of it this way: separate is NEVER equal. To "allow" LGBT couples to form "civil unions" is the worst kind of Orwellian Doublespeak bullshit spouted by people who don't have the balls to speak the truth.
That truth, as I see it, is that elected officials would rather discriminate against the LGBT community than upset the semi-literate, jackbooted, bible-thumping religious fanatic members of their constituency. They say it's to protect the "sacred nature" of marriage. I call mega-bullshit on that. If marriage were so fucking sacred, divorce would be illegal, and how many elected officials would sign their name to that piece of legislature, honestly?
These are the same types who passed the notorious Jim Crow laws so they could keep all those recently freed slaves "in their place." They also tried to ban interracial marriage, and used the same tired bullshit to justify it then as they are using now.
You think that's not a legitimate comparison? Ask any schoolkid if they'd rather be Black or Gay for a day at school.... Sure, the cops aren't using fire hoses or attack dogs on them, yet.
Look, I don't want to minimize the Civil Rights movement from the 60s, because I remember seeing how awful that shit was on the news. All I'm saying is that in a modern society what's good for one is good for all, you can't pick and choose who gets to exercise their rights & who has to sit in the middle & suck on it. You also can't legislate morality, nor should you even try. Marriage is sacred? According to whom? Certainly not any of the Abrahamic religions, whose founding namesake married his own sister, who also gave him a green light to bang the help. Too bad hypocrisy isn't physically painful...
And all you "people of color" who voted to support Prop 8 should be ashamed of yourselves, because I guarantee there were gays marching to support your rights 40 some years ago, so fuck you.
Don't you think they're entitled to the same chance at happiness as everyone else?


I'll tell you this much, I'd give a gay man my last dollar before I'd piss in a bible-thumper's sucking chest wound, because I know the gay man would never try to cram his belief system or lifestyle down my throat, or up my ass, or....fuck it, find your own analogy. At least all the gay men I've known never found a compulsion to try to convert me, or worse, judge me.
To all you Nazi pricks trying to hide behind your Stone Age dogma just so you can feel superior to someone, try a new experience, try minding your own fucking business & not telling other people how to live, at least until you're as perfect as you think you are. And to all you religious organizations out there: if you want to chime in on political issues, pay for the right like the rest of us, pay taxes or shut the ever-loving fuck up. Stay out of politics & stick to what you know: selling salvation to a gullible flock of morons, polygamy and child molestation.

My problem with religion

I am an Atheist, or as I like to refer to myself, an Apathist, because I just don't care about any religion. I was indoctrinated like so many other children even before I was old enough to go to school. Once I saw religion for the bullshit that it is, I started to examine the reasons for my growing dislike.

1: Most so-called christians have never even read their bible, or if they have it's only select passages. I have read it, including the utter tedium of the old testament, and have gone so far as to quote the bible to these people while they're struggling to make a point. Before you lecture me on anything, you better have backup to your rhetoric and bullshit, because I will.

2: The utter refusal to acknowledge the truth when it is presented. "Fossils were placed in the ground to test my faith." What ridiculous horseshit. If your faith is so easily tested, it can't be that strong to begin with.

3: Not practicing what you preach. If you lead by example instead of flailing around and slobbering derision on anyone who is different, you claim a much higher degree of credibility. So many fundamentalists get so wrapped up in the words of their fairy tales that they lose the intended message. So not believing in the same story makes me evil? Why do I have free will? Why is it so important to you to be able to tell me how to live my life? Every time some religious zealot gets caught with a prostitute, or doing drugs, or any of the other myriad things they condemn so vehemently, it just erodes their argument even more.

4: They insist on politicizing moral issues. Abortion, gay marriage, prayer in school, etc. These are all moral issues and shouldn't even be discussed by our elected officials. No one has the right to tell anyone else how to live their life. They say all they want is what's best for children, which is total bullshit. Anyone who protests at an abortion clinic should be forced to adopt an unwanted child and raise it to adulthood. Gay people have every right to be married and have that marriage recognized by the government. They want to define marriage as a bond between a man and a woman exclusively. I say if marriage is so sacred, make divorce illegal you fucking hypocrites. And I have news for you, as long as there are tests, there will be prayer in school. A "moment of silent reflection" is just bullshit Doublespeak for prayer, you know, like "intelligent design" is exactly the same as creationism. Until religious organizations start paying taxes, they need to shut the fuck up and stay out of politics, 'cause there's grown folks talking here.

5: Hiding behind religion to escape responsibility or culpability really pisses me off. Killing an abortion doctor in the name of "the Prince of Peace" is hypocrisy of the highest order. People reelected George W. Bush and his "Emperor's New Clothes" regime based on the fact that he professes to be a christian, when based on his actions he's actually a fascist cunt, which isn't really the same thing. "It's in god's hands" is such a fucking copout.

All right, that's enough for now, because I've worked myself up a bit and I don't have time for an embolism right now. Maybe I'll go to the gun range tomorrow and work off some steam.
