Ok so I’m REALLY late in writing this but I’ve been to busy revelling to have time to write.
It was quite the ocassion, a coming together of so many races, groups, communities and the like to put a man in power who might actually know what he’s doing. Plus he’s black.
Much of the implications this will have, have already been addressed. The future isn’t so rosy yet though, with a failing global economy and plenty of war. There is hope though. Hope that wasn’t there before, but is there now. Lets’s hope it’s not too late.
I’m going to switch to an issue that hasn’t been analysed to death yet, and that’s the banning, by referendum, of gay marriage in California. It seems “the people giveth AND they taketh,” as some drunken englishman in the 1600’s probably said once. The same people who advanced America into a new age with a new outlook on racial prejudice, decided to deal out a different kind. The homophobic kind.
For me it kind of all comes down to this. People voted to ban gay marriage because the churches told them so. The yes to prop 8 cause was funded by Morons, sorry typo I meant Mormons, from Utah. Why the hell is Utah meddling with California? Keep to your own freaky state and leave the happy people alone. Anyway’s so along with the Mormons, “family first,” and other strange groups who would rather poke their nose in your business than actually do anything constructive, the churches got gay marriage banned, effectively saving their souls, but comdemning homosexuals to further descrimination.
What happened to a secular state? I mean the state constitution of California guarantees everybody the same freedoms, free from religious inteference supposedly, yet here is another example of church and state blurring together. These people just need to be put all together in one place, possibly Utah, and told to run that how they like. Now that’s my kind of segregation. If you think intolerance of intolerance is hypocritical you can go join them.
MORE RELIGIOUS FUN!!
Did you hear the one about the Greek othodox priest and the Armenian priest hanging out in Israel? They punched the shit out one another!
The UFC might see it’s first religious leader compettitor soon!
So these are the guys we are meant to derive all our morals from? Right? To be honest I think that religion is proabably the worst place to get your morals from.
Sure there are the ten commandments. A retarded monkey could come up some of those though. Half of them are just jealous statements. “Don’t you DARE praise that other God. He is such a biiiiiiiitch to me!” Well, something like that. The bible is also full of other wonderful morality tales, like the one about Abraham almost burning his child alive, or Lot offering his daughter to be raped. Don’t forget shrimp is bad. Oh i know some religious people will say, “well some of things are archaic, you know, we do the main things etc.” So that means you can pick and choose what to follow? So the whole thing about homosexuality being evil in Leviticus, you took that as correct, but not offering up your daughter like she’s worth an ounce of humanity?
There isn’t an instruction manual that come with the bible pointing out which bits are the truth and which bits are insane ramblings brought on by desert fever. To me, it’s all one big book of Jewish fairy tales.
CUTE DOGGY OF THE DAY!
