Came to my senses in that this quote of Nance's would be better received for more discussion than my original thought of "God raped Mary."

Anyway, I completely, totally and utterly believe someone doesn't need to hide behind religion to speak freely. But that when they do, they are even more of a coward. How can anyone be certain that some idiot bigot's prejudice is truly in the name of religion? Talk about playing right into their beliefs!

Therefore, abandon all notions of religion but one. It has remarkable resemblance to our Constitution. That is, "All men are created equal..." It is so fucking simple it boggles the hatred mind.


Nance's paragraph again...

"But this, of course, is the underlying problem. The current crop of hypocrites behind the New Improved Jesus movement know that what they seek to be exempt from prosecution for is becoming more and more blatantly a matter of hatred disguised as moral rectitude; what is being sought to be “protected” is not the right to speak freely, but the right to hide behind religion while spewing intolerance against those who refuse to conform to the New Fangled Christianity being espoused by those who want to hold on to their prejudices and still be recognized as part of the flock."


On edit: the "Constitution" can generally be regarded as: 1. the Declaration of Independence; 2. the Constitution of the United States of America; and 3. the Bill of Rights. Three happens to be one of my most favorite numbers.
