Ranty rant: religious hypocrites

Time for a gay marriage rant post.


I recently saw a picture on Facebook that was supposedly written by an "8 and 3/4" year old boy about how he has two moms and he thinks it's unfair that they can't get married. While I appreciate the sentiment,something about the note just seemed dishonest-kind of like this letter that was published in the southwest journal (the local newspaper in my neighborhood) which claimed to be from a nine-year-old girl. She was saying that we should get rid of the Victorias Secret store in my neighborhood because, and I quote, "the women in the pictures in the windows look really unhappy" and "women aren't objects who were made for you to look at". Now I don't approve of objectifying women either, but Victoria's secret isn't a strip club-it's an underwear store. And when is the last time any of you saw a Victoria's secret model and thought she "looked really unhappy"? That's bullshit. Furthermore, I highly doubt a nine year old girl who is intelligent enough to understand and care about women being objectified (something I didn't give a flying fuck about at that time. I was busy doing kid stuff) would be dumb enough not to realize that a store that sells underwear would have models n their underwear. My mom and I came to the conclusion that it was actually some adult extremist feminist chick who was writing from a 9-year-olds point of view because she thought it would get someone's attention. The letter from the boy with two moms felt just like this one.


So I clicked on the comments to see if anyone else found this letter to be obviously fake, and found that it had turned into one of those Christians vs. Athiests wars where the Christians are repeating "marriage is between a man and a woman homosexuality is a sin" and all the Athiests were repeating "love is love and it doesn't matter quit blindly following a book!". It was a complete and total clusterfuck with very little actual logic involved. So I would like to tell all the Christian extremists why their arguments is invalid.


Yes, the bible says homosexuality is a sin. But you know what else it says is a sin?


-eating shellfish

-interacting with a woman who is on her period

-Using a condom

-swearing

-oral sex

-having sex in a position other than missionary

-shaving

-eating pork

-pornography

-wearing clothing made of more than one type of fiber (like cotton/polyester blends)

-working on Sundays

So if you have never done any of these things-if you are a vegetarian guy with a big bushy beard and a fuckton of kids because you never use a condom, who has never watched porn or said a swear word, who has never spoken to a girl who was on her period or had sex in a position other than
missionary-then I give you mad props for your dedication if nothing else and I will admit that thou art holier than I. Until you quit doing all of these things, however, you are in no place to judge.
