How the hell are we enshrining bigotry in our constitutions
based on god damned delusions and 2000 year old fairy tales. Are we still living in the middle ages? I am so pissed and sad this morning about all the bigoted crap that passed last night. I'm happy about Obama's win but this stuff has me sick.

This is exactly why religion is dangerous. People are putting bigotry because of and using their religion.

2. I'm both surprised and ashamed that we approved prop-102 here in AZ.
I really didn't think that would pass. I didn't think prop-8 would pass either.

WTF?

4. "teach your children well"
Perpetuated by instruction. Bigots aren't born.

And I thought Cali was progressive!


Speaking of teaching, ck this out:

From that post:

This is a math and "Science" program to teach future science teachers!

I firmly believe their agenda is to teach creationism in our public school system!

Don't you smell "ID" too?
