God/Dog

Shit! Being a blogger is hard. Either you are always having to think of something to write or you are wondering if you should write what you've thought of. This past week has definitely been more of the latter. The title is probably a bit misleading as I am not really interested in talking about my thoughts on what people refer to as god. Probably WTF? would have been a better title, but I am reserving that for a real "what the fuck" type of situation. Never mind. This actually is a real "what the fuck" type of situation.

Why is it that the Jesus people just can't seem to leave the gays and lesbians alone? It seems every new generation of deluded religionists need to have a new group of people to hate. The faithful have even learned how to marginalize people of other faiths. It takes some real arrogance, bordering on hubris to claim that you belong to the one true church. Recent comments made at the Mormon general conference have made it very apparent to me that they are not the one true church. To suggest that a person can change their sexual orientation or that one would even want to in order to appease some unseen being is laughable at best, logical folly at worst. Boyd K. Packer needs to realize that humanity is a tapestry of diversity. It would be an ugly world indeed if everyone thought and acted the same.

I don't really care what you believe as long as you don't try to legislate said belief on to others. The founding fathers were absolutely correct in implying a separation between church and state. It seems clear to me that a lot of these so-called believers have abused and taken advantage of their freedom of religion. I don't think passing laws that take rights away from a group of people is what the fathers had in mind when they wrote the constitution. Well, the one thing that I do have faith in is that justice will prevail and that equality for all wasn't just a pipe dream. Speaking of which...

I'll see you @ 4:20
