(45,319 posts)Think about it honestly. The 'agree 100% or you are not a good Democrat' meme demands support of wrong headed dogma and faith based nonsense which I simply reject. Sanctity? Do you agree with the idea that some God 'Sanctifies' Newt and all Mrs Newts and at the same time looks and me or Rachel Maddow and says 'unworthy of Newt's rights'?
The rules of the Obama group, for example, mean one must agree with that or keep silent or one is not welcome. A sort of DADT rule. You can BE one, just don't express the aspirations of your community or you will be shown the door. Not sure that is how the rules seem to those who wrote them. Seems that way to those of us who are asked to closet or not participate. To make agreement with a religious dogma into a litmus test for who is and who is not a good Democrat is disgusting to me. I'm not religious. The dogma is made up to rationalize prejudices, that's it. I do not support religious dogma posing as political thought. "I'm a Christian, so I think marriage is for Newt!" that's not me.
I don't understand the theory of Sanctity at all. It seems that it works like this: Newt's dick gets sick of the old wife, so God instantly takes away her 'sanctity' and assigns it to the next woman Newt's dick wants to 'sanctify'. God is Newt's procurer, that seems to be the theory. More confusion arises around the women that are not chosen to marry Newt, just to engage in 'pretend Sanctity' in a car or hotel room. Does God issue temporary Sacramental status for those situations in the straight life?
I'm sorry, the whole 'God in the mix, we are superior to those other people' trip is to me, daft, irrational, and hugely bigoted. I take great issue with those who promote that stuff, and with those who run rationalizations for the promoters of religion and intolerance. The 'Rick Warren is just one prayer' crowd. The defenders, yes there is that word, of that which is wrong.
So sorry, the religious stuff I can not agree with, nor do I agree that Newt is Sanctified and I am not. I do not agree with the President on these things at all.
