California Proposition 8
November 14, 2008 at 11:55 pm
I'm amazed we don't have a topic on this considering the massive backlash against religious organizations supporting this.
I think it's disgusting and unconstitutional. It's especially troubling that the LDS church managed to fund and support thing across the border from Utah, spreading their oppression and hate outside of their own state to destroy other people's happiness based on scripture.
Keith Olbermann made a touching 'Special Comment' on this subject, I highly suggest YouTubing it.

I don't understand why Xians feel like they have to enforce their religious beliefs on others. There is no scriptural support for it and in fact scriptural support against if anything.
But I also never have understood why the atheists etc. are so poorly organized compared to the 'religious right.' My personal religious beliefs don't allow for that sort of phony moral policing.
