Red, you're listening to Christian talk show, and you get aggravated at the discussion? Isn't that a bit like getting aggravated that Dorothy finds the scarecrow before the tinman?
Talk shows exist to sell advertising. Controversy draws a crowd. Crowds hear advertising.
But it's not all that difficult to see how extremist Moslems got to the 'just kill 'em all' stand is it? I mean at what point does the rest of society just say to the fundamentalists, enough of your fantasies, your bible is as fictional as the rest of your religion, thus your opinion is worth less than what I flushed this morning.
Too extreme? Sorry. I'll spell it out for you. M O N E Y.
Gay marrage is tied up in the money. No-one cares if you live together, but getting married means tax and insurance costs, that the establishment see's spiraling out of control quickly. (Cost rising for all that Aids and HIVstuff, means less magement bonuses!) Republicans in office, means the big money controls the government, thus, roll out the preachers. No average person, of an IQ over 100 gives two shakes about gay marrage, unless the money issue is factored in. Freedom and equality in Every country is an illusion based largely on the whims of a ever changing societal base. Love your neighbor, but keep the rifle handy.
And Nox...that's just silly saying you don't like children! Why, they taste just like chicken!
(muttering, check, read over, yes, appears i've attacked everything sufficiently, this should ruffle a nice cross section.....now, a bit of maniacal laughter.......well, Red can blow it away if it's too much.....)
