Southern Baptists
-
Much of the anti-marriage hysteria in the U.S. comes from a sect called Southern Baptists, who think their Get Out of Hell Free card absolves them of all responsibility to be decent human beings.
Do you know that they are not Protestants? That is because they claim to have been a religion before Martin Luther and the Reformation, since they date back to John the Baptist. Yeah, sure they do. And the Masons go back to King Solomon.
First Century Christians were under no illusion that they were called to purify the society they lived in, trying to turn it into Heaven. No, they were told to "render unto Caesar," and pay their taxes like good little citizens, not defy the law. In fact, they had the bizarre notion that they were less than perfect and needed to make themselves behave better in order to love and serve their god better– not parade around with banners denouncing the imperfections of This world.
Too bad that sense of seeking personal salvation has turned into self-righteously claiming to be holier than thou, no matter who thou art, and therefore entitled to cram their interpretation of the Stone Age text onto everyone they meet. Also, apparently, they believe, as one pig party presidential candidate just put it, they should "praise the Lord and pass the ammunition." In church, for example, where they all ought to have guns to protect themselves from their spineless and hapless all knowing, all powerful so-called "god." Who cannot kill blacks at a prayer meeting unless he finds some confused child to do it and accept the consequences of his righteousness.
Also, too, they apparently cannot read and think that card they carry also says "Get Out of Jail Free." That's a Good Thing because it allows them to murder women's doctors with impunity.
Cynical much? Who? Me?
Btw, someone just pointed out that the real reasons these superstitious true believers are so angry at athiests (and most scientists, who tend to say things like Global Warming is Not a Hoax, and dinosaurs and people did not co-exist, and Evolution is the way things work) because if the atheists are correct, the fear of death without an afterlife is overwhelming. What if you sacrifice the whole world and find out there is no pie in the sky bye and bye when you die? All those people you resented for having sex and fun while you played martyr will be right and you will have lost everything. As Ralph says in "The Simpsons," HA ha.

I'm betting the entire South will come around when they realize they can now marry their same-sex cousins! This torrent should be brought back and be made freeleech for our Southern Baptist friends:
