Thank God Morford is finally off the meds. Anal sex in sentence two has to be a new record for her.

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

The more passionately religious you are, the more hateful and small minded you become

No bigotry here, no siree!

[presidio9]

BTW Mark, in case you ever go straight:

Meet your DREAM GIRL.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Reading Miss Morford's stuff is almost as much fun as running engines without oil!

[Dane]

Morford really needs to leave it's cocoon of San Francisco and see the real America.

[Puppage]

People are terrified. Religious people, in particular.

No, people with MORALS.

[TRY ONE]

"People are terrified. Religious people, in particular. Hyperzealous, evangelical, white, borderline fanatical religious people who apparently don't see a lot of sunlight and never read books and believe everything their homophobic intolerant Bible-spouting evangelical pastor..."

No, Monford, we're not terrified non Homophobic (phobic means fear of) we're Homodisgustie! (Sick of you sh*t)

[Rummyfan]

Regardless of Morford's rantings, no culture, country, or civilization in the history of the world has ever officially sanctioned homosexula marriage (have they?). The only word I can use to describe this state of affairs is abominable!

[Scenic Sounds]

a painful wart on the big toe of progress.

I certainly hope that the good folks here at FR will never allow themselves to become "a painful wart on the big toe of progress."

[TheAngryClam]

Morford got something right: he called Scientology a weird cult.

Stopped clocks...

[Gritty]

Morford is one of the most religious people out there. He idolizes his own sin fervently and reverently and is an evangelist for it.

One can only imagine the personal torment he must be going through daily within his own heart!

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

Hyperzealous, evangelical, white, borderline fanatical religious people who apparently don't see a lot of sunlight and never read books and believe everything their homophobic intolerant Bible-spouting evangelical pastor and maybe Ann Coulter say, even more particularly.

Bigot. She left out inbred, southern, and confederate flag waving. Must have been a slip.

[RichInOC]

...Satan himself is at the door, carrying nothing but a whip and a sinister grin and a big bottle of Astroglide.

...but enough about Mark's Halloween after-party.

Or imprisoning...members of that weird cult Tom Cruise and John Travolta are into.

They were at Mark's after-party too?

[COURAGE]

Luke 11:45-52

One of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you insult us also."

He said, "Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won't even lift one finger to help carry those burdens. Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs. Therefore also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute, that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.' Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn't enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered."

yep, this cements my belief as a libertarian that the state has no business in the institution of marriage.

No tax credits for married couples. Maybe tax credits for dependants. I am not a tax expert (get rid of the income tax, IMHO).

If your employer, and the private companies that they use for medical and dental and life insurance want to cover your same sex live-in partner, that's great! If not, don't bitch about it, get a new job. Privacy and free-market economics at work.

But any free man or woman must find it morally reprehensable that the State should have any involvement in something that is purely a RELIGIOUS matter. If your Unitarian church wants to marry you to a gay man, go for it. That's between you and your God, and it has no bearing on me or the State.

Hyperzealous, evangelical, white, borderline fanatical religious people who apparently don't see a lot of sunlight and never read books and believe everything their homophobic intolerant Bible-spouting evangelical pastor and maybe Ann Coulter say, even more particularly.

Hey, Ms Morford, what color is the sky in your world?

[paul51]

...of the BushCo-voting nation cowers in inexplicable horror shakes their head in disgust.

[tbpiper]

San Fansisco? Isn't that the (not too distant) future site of the great 15.8 Richter earthquake?

[hannityforpres08]

Of course, at this point it seems completely useless to point out to the America's misguided homophobes that if you really want to follow the Bible that closely, why, we can easily justify, say, incarcerating unmarried single mothers. Or exterminating homeless people. Or burning pagans. Or imprisoning Buddhists or Rosicrucians and members of that weird cult Tom Cruise and John Travolta are into.

After all, the Bible has been used to justify slavery. And misogyny. And oppression. And racism. And genocide. And Pat Robertson. For centuries. And it still is.


Try reading 1 Timothy chapter 1 my friend here is part of it , but read it all and use a little understanding Christ will give it to you. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
8We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9We also know that law[1] is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious; for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers--and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

[GluteusMax]

Ironic, isn't it? It's a global truism: The more passionately religious you are, the more hateful and small minded you become

No twink, it's not hate or fear, it's repulsion to a disgusting perversion.

This "guy" is consistent in all his writings at least. He really believes he is one of the enlightened, and everyone who opposes his views is stupid or a neanderthal.

But here is the good news: In the long term, this bilious national recoil does not matter. The writing is on the wall. The cracks are appearing all over the homophobic armor. The national whining, the fear, the hate, the resistance, are only a necessary and entirely predictable pothole, a typical reflex, a painful wart on the big toe of progress.

Wrong. It is far more systemic than you can grasp in the bath houses of Castro Street. Once again, phobia=fear and we are not afraid of you.

After all, huge and violent were the protests from angry, terrified citizens when blacks were first allowed into white schools. Enraged and horrified were many powerful white men when women were finally given the right to vote. Shocked and outraged were the orangutans when humans first began to walk upright.

Wrong. The "enlightened" of his ilk invariably attempt to equate their quest to have their perversion mainstreamed with races of people having equal rights. Blacks in particular do not support homosexuality as normal, yet are always compared to the queer "struggle" against discrimination.

This has never been about discrimination against homosexuals anyway. The push by perverts for marriage is all about being accepted by the majority and that simply will not ever happen.
