Nice to see the nice fine homophobic folks of North Carolina have upped the ante when it comes to gays and lesbians. It's tragic to witness such discourse while they hold a document (the Bible) that supports love, compassion and support for those who need it.
Let's not forget that the Bible says nothing about homosexual relations between men ... or women.
And even if the Bible did say anything ... I'm reminded of the Bartlet episode on the West Wing that definitively proves that the most literal parts of the Bible have been washed and forgotten about ... until some Bible-thumping activist wants to start quoting scripture as though they hold some sort of moral high ground over the rest of us.
They don't ... No one does. Because this land was founded on the principles of practicing whatever you want to, however you want to, without the tyranny and fear to do so.
The tragedy is that those who vote in favor of the North Carolina measure are now living contrary to God's laws when having absolutely no idea that's what they're doing. God wouldn't want any of us - to condemn others - even though that has been done under the guise of religion for hundreds of years. Countries have been conquered for being different and for not practicing their religion as stringently as others were.
The message of kindness, morality and having a strong sense of self that binds us, not divide us ... is the message of God. Those who hold the Bible to the contrary - simply lacks the comprehension of that notion.
