Religion is no excuse for bigotry…

Well…have had this one rattling around in my head for a couple of days now and I’m still not sure if I can get it out and make any sense…it started with the latest gambit of the bigots on the right where they are playing the persecution card now that they have been called out on their bigotry towards gays…saying that they are just following their religion so that gives them a pass to be racists and bigots…that may be so within their religion but it doesn’t give them license to push their bigotry on the whole country. That is what they have been doing for years with DOMA, prop 8 in Cali, and the constitutional amendment here in Michigan that bans gay marriage. I, for one, am just damn sick and tired of having religion in the public sphere at all…why should my life and the lives of anyone be affected by silly assed writings done by a bunch of superstitious goatherders over 2,000 years ago….especially since all of them were cribbed from earlier writings…some from over 1500 years before Jesus was supposedly born. I have just one thing to say…if you want to live by the Bible or the teachings of the flying spaghetti monster, go ahead…just leave me out of it and stop trying to jam this crap down the throats of us who think…geez…
