Homophobia's yardstick
Sen. Chris Buttars has become a household word nationally for defining nut-case homophobes. The blog Dispatches from the Culture Wars, invokes his name in attacking Ohio lawmaker, Jeff Wagner, who is opposing an equal housing and employment law because it "promotes and encourages homosexuality":Sally Kern, Gerald Allen, Chris Buttars - you've got company. Meet Jeff Wagner...Wagner, right, argues the Ohio Equal Housing and Employment Act is "dangerous and misguided":
The bill is not really about people being denied rights to basic needs, but it is about promoting acceptance of an immoral lifestyle. As much as some people would have us to believe otherwise, this country was founded on Christian principles. One of those long honored principles is the tradition of holy matrimony. One man and one woman joined together in a union that goes as far back as Adam and Eve.Adam and Eve? Wagner obviously also shares Buttars' view of evolution.

Is it just me or are there others out there that get sick and bloody tired of the lie that this country was founded upon "Christian principles" Show me one place in the Constitution that expresses this belief. Sure, some of the Founders may have been Christian; but to suggest that this is a Christian nation, whose laws are based upon Christian doctrine is an outright lie! Our country is a democratic republic that allows us not only freedom to worship without government oversight, but safeguards us from this type of religious zealousness.
Be my bloody guest and believe that homosexuality is a sin; but when it comes to the civil rights of our citizens to have equal protection under the law, the best that the malevolent can do is beat the pulpit and nothing else.
If you want to live in a theocracy, fine. I suggest you give Saudi Arabia a look; or perhaps Afghanistan. You may find that living in America after visiting these lovely countries isn't such a bad place to live and raise a family.
It's just you
Someone needs a history refresher...
For example;
"I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church."
