My comment:
The majority of Gay people in
America are Christian. Christians setting themselves apart from Christians is
nothing new. There are a thousand different kinds of Christians all over the
world and they cannot get along any better than all the different Muslim, Hindu
and Buddhist religions can.
The problem with government passing
a law allowing a religion to discriminate is that once you give religion (any
religion) an inch, they want a mile. Government cannot say it is all right for
a particular religion to discriminate and then tell other religions they
cannot.
Empowering a particular religion to
exercise their belief system only once is like trying to eat only one peanut.
It cannot be done. You can bet your last dollar, flushed with success on this
issue; Christians will be emboldened to nullify all protections from the
excesses of religion our nation has always strived to prevent.
There has never been a successful
government dominated by a religion, in the history of humankind. The most successful
governments have always been secular. As long as those governments remain
secular, that government will be relatively successful. America in the past is
a good example.
Our government is beginning to fail
because of the creeping influence of religion in public affairs. All strife,
all conflict on our domestic front, is emanating from Fundamentalist
Christianity. Talk of secession, nullification laws, taxpayer-funded
churches, school prayer, discrimination against gays, the war on women, all flows
from the Fundamentalist Christian movement in America. The list goes on
forever.
There are many threats in this
world but none more dangerous to this nation than a religious threat from
within our borders. One can see the disease of religious tyranny spreading all
over our nation as states, taken over by religious fanatics impose the most
outrageous laws on the common man. If these religious enemies of state are not
stopped, our secular government will end.
