Keeping the Sword of Righteousness, and Other Sharp Objects, Away From Mentalfundalists – hilarious deconstruction of stupid, bigoted editorial.
“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.” Revelation 20:12
Uh huh. How about this one:
Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
— I Corinthians 14:34-35 (NIV)How many times do you think Susan Sanford has been disgraceful in church? Do you think she ran this by her hubby?
Like many others, I’ve been pretty aghast at the idea of a constitutional amendment designed to explicity deny rights to a certain group of individuals. That’s about the most ‘unamerican’ thing that I can think of. (secondarily, as a states right issue, it’s a bad idea as well)
