I was researching an article, which linked me to another article, which harbored this delicious commentary from a Christian minister (as he called himself.)
"Atheists getting married is WORSE than gays marrying, since atheists can have babies and raise them to be more atheists. But gays can't make babies (at least not naturally) and thus their genes will mostly die out and we should eventually have less gays. Thus, I agree that we Christians should make our Christian U.S. government BAN atheists from getting married."
To quote a tv show:
Ain't that just cute?
BUT IT'S WRONG.
(cookies if you remember what show that is)
Just thought I'd share so some of you could giggle.
You don't REALLY think our CHRISTIAN government would ban atheist marriage, would they?
Christian marriage should be banned. No Christian should have the right to marry or adopt children. It is a life choice. If they want these things all they have to do is stop being Christian and they can have everything normal people have.
DOES THAT SOUND FAIR?
It was met with a pretty seriously outraged response by all (Christians) who could not see the humor.
I can't understand why they think they can say something but others can not.
Why is their opinion more valid than that of others?
I would be so sad to have raised religious kids. Not saying this as an insult to you. I do see it as exemplary of tolerance teaching: that when we teach tolerance, in the end, the winner is the faction that pushes the hardest, which usually means religiosity.
