On Thursday, wingnut Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed his state's Fuck The Gays bill into law, which basically says that as long as your religion tells you Jesus's first and only question on Judgment Day will be "and how many of my gay children did you personally abuse?", you are free to use those beliefs to deny LGBT people service and accommodations in the forgotten, godforsaken state of Indiana. Gov. Pence did so because apparently the threat of losing tourism dollars and business is less important than making sure nobody forces Aunt Lurlene to bake a pie for a fag. This is called Religious Freedom, and it is somehow what this great nation was founded upon, according to idiots.
This all started with the federal RFRA which was way too broad in scope. It was originally brought up to protect Native Americans taking peyote in their religious ceremonies but it was written as a blanket means of allowing religious beliefs to trump the law. These laws need to be reigned in to only cover ceremonies.
I escaped Florida in the early eighties leaving my family behind, I believe they are still alive but worry they are held hostage as the tea party posts from all their facebook pages.
I'm glad you've found happiness there. When I googled the county seat I found nothing but bad stories about Cairo. "Death by Racism" and "America's Most Depressing City" followed by pages of the same.http://www.legendsofamerica...http://www.cyburbia.org/for...
That's fair, but the problem with it is you'd go out of business -- there are way more Xtians than gays. Now, were there a shitload of homosexual customers banging down your door, you know businesses would be welcoming them with open arms and setting out fishbowls of free condoms and lube.
One of these dirty little states needs to be crushed economically so that it literally never recovers. It will save a few others if that happens very fast.
Yep - they damn well would... just like at Trump rallies... Please know that a lot of us tried to get this Dence Pence to stop... If I had a business... they'd have to pass a test... "Do unto others!" HA! not really funny because I live here...
You have a good point! I can name a religion though...Witch - Wicca - There has never been a war started by Witches. The Rules - "Harm None Do as Ye Will" and the Rede - Basically - Whatever you do comes back to you 3 fold. (Karma's a bitch - don't do bad!) We don't believe in the devil... and believe in respect for all people of all religions as long as they don't hurt anyone and don't interfere w/anyone else's rights. At the base of all true religions, these things are supposed to be there... they just don't get followed by so many. Having said this... who do you think gets more crap - Christians or Witches? LMAO! Never had a single bad time or cross word with any Witch/Wiccan/Pagan. We are not Satanists we don't even believe in the devil! Peace, Love, Joy, Hope and Blessings to All. <|:)
Thanks.... please know SO MANY TRIED TO TELL THIS DENCE PENCE! He knew what was going to happen... I think he was so "sure" he was going to be picked to run for president, he turned into "W" - "I'm the decider here!" Then he Fucked himself! (Think they only considered him because of his profile picture.) here is a link that shows they knew... http://www.thedailybeast.co...I think they are going to find something worse in our water (along w/all the crap poor Flint MI has) like some kind of mind control drug that only a few of us are immune to. I really can't figure out some of the people I've known for YEARS and how they forgot where they came from and what they did... Really sad here. I'd move, but am too poor (Only in the 75% of poverty, have to be in the 400% to get help here) and taking care of my mom who is 84 and has dementia.
i spent four years studying witchcraft. i have read the witch hammer, and some of the transcripts of the witch trials. there lies the seeds of nightmare. i have cunningham's books, and have read many others, as well as old herbals from the 15th-16th centuries. i even learned a little latin to do so. the statement from the bible " thou shalt not suffer a witch to live." shows how evil the christians are. not only can they not tolerate them, they must actively exterminate them, even if they have committed no crime. i mentioned the satanists, because they are organized, and poke the fundies in the eye, on a regular basis. wiccans are more solitary. i have never been in a coven, and owe allegiance to none save the goddess. blessed be.

Finally someone picked up what I was layin' down!
(The whole "suckin' on chili dogs outside the Tastee Freez" euphemism should've tipped everyone off a long time ago...)

Its way past time we started taxing churches as they are involved so deeply in politics. And BTW, F*ck Indiana and Mike Pence. Boycott the state.
It's not often that Michiganders can feel superior vis-à-vis gay rights, but holy shit, Mike Pence... well played, sir.
Oh well, life goes on long after the will for livin' is gone.
Cutterz!
Not just any weiners -- Mexican weiners. Miscegeny AND sodomy.
