As the GOP open their convention with an invocation by a woman who thinks that those who support gay marriage are just like those who supported the man who implemented the systematic slaughter of 6 million Jews, gypsies, gays, etc..., I have a few questions. Why do they hate gays so much? Now, I'm not gay (not there's anything wrong with that), but I know plenty of people who are. And you know what? They're just as boring and normal as anyone else. And don't give me that old excuse about the the Bible says it's wrong. The Bible also says eating a bacon cheeseburger is wrong, and what would the folks of W's family compound in Maine do if we stopped eating lobster? You know what? You can use the Bible to promote any view you want. Why? Because it was written by people! Now, they may have been inspired by God, but I don't think the big fella actually sat at his PC one day and typed the whole thing up. Not to mention the fact that the Bible, like all books, has been edited . There's stuff that used to be in the Bible that most of us have never imagined. And compare a Catholic Bible to the King James version. Not the same, folks. If we used the Bible as our only guide, then it's okay to sleep with your daughters if your entire city has been destroyed (right, Lot?). Or own slaves, and sleep with one of them when your wife can't have kids (right Abraham?). C'mon, we're living in the 21st century. While it's okay to use a document written in the Israeli desert over 2000 years as a guide to your life, it's just that, a guide.
Man, I can ramble, can't I? I guess what I'm trying to say is this: Just love each other and be nice. That's pretty simple, isn't it? It's an idea a Jewish guy named Joshua went around saying awhile back.
