[47of74]

Here's a nice screed from Rev. Kenneth Hutcherson

Over and over again, the bible has proven the negative consequences to societies that embrace homosexuality as normal. In Canada, same sex marriage has been the law for more than six years. Although a miniscule percent (less than a tenth of one percent) of Canadians have taken advantage of same sex marriage, you cannot speak against homosexuality without being threatened with prosecution for committing a hate crime. Thus the Bible is true. If you don’t stand against sin it will destroy a society.

The Bible was proven correct again when Massachusetts passed a same sex marriage law. Catholic Services of Boston shut down because it didn’t want to allow same sex couples to adopt children. The state said you will allow same sex couples to adopt or we will not support you. Because of the pressure, they shut down their adoption program. How many innocent children were negatively affected?

A photographer was sued, lost her case and was fined in New Mexico because she did not want to photograph a same sex commitment ceremony.

Now the battle to undermine traditional marriage comes to my state. Because Washington state is one of the most liberal states in the country, I fully expect to see the floodgates of religious discrimination open for people of faith here.

Sigh/ugh.

1. Just what are the "negative consequences"?

I sure didn't see any listed.

Wingnuts should be sterilized, and I say that only half in jest.

3. Probably that two adults who love each other are able to...

...enjoy the legal benefits and protections that come with marriage, just like straight couples. In reich wing world that's a bad thing.

[Angry Dragon]

5. They do not need a list to hate or be a bigot

[atreides1]

2. Another Picker and chooser

Pick and chooses those parts of the Bible that agree with his agenda and completely ignores the rest!

Another clergyman with no credibility!

[FiveGoodMen]

4. "the battle to undermine traditional marriage"

There ought to be a law that you can hit someone when they say something that stupid.

[hifiguy]

7. Indeed. Only a wingnut

fundymentalpatient could conclude that allowing more people to marry would weaken marriage. But logic is as antithetical to them as anything can possibly be.

[Ilsa]

6. Canadian society has fallen apart at the seems over gay marriage?

I had no idea!

Catholic Services in MA could stop accepting state money if they didn't want to support gay families adopting children.

[hifiguy]

8. If Canadian society were falling apart,

it seems that Mainers, New Hampshireites, Vermonters, New Yorkers, Michiganders, Wisconsinites and we Minnesotans would have noticed the exodus from Canuckistan first. Funny, the streets of Minneapolis are, somehow, not teeming with Canadians fleeing the disintegration of their society.

[Ilsa]

11. It's hysterical, isn't it?

The degree of right wing handwringing over gay marriage, contraception, women's equality in healthcare, and their denial of the reality of the costs of healthcare.

[immoderate]

9. "How many innocent children were negatively affected?"

The question just kind of hangs there. There's really no answer.

13. Awesome!

I love it!

14. That was Blasphemy...

And I love it...

15. CNN published this hate speech as if it were nothing

more than "opinion". Sickening.

[justiceischeap]

16. And stuck a tiny link to the opposing opinion in there without much fanfare. nt

[Dawson Leery]

17. CNN: The other Fox "News".
