Vulgarweed, natch, likes The Rude Pundit very much.

And his post today on that "Marriage Amendment" abomination is GOLD.


"Check out President Bush's radio address (the one that only a spastically jiggling Jerry Falwell listens to while using a rifle barrel to tickle his prostate madly) from this past Saturday. Motherfucker could barely get through the thing without sayin' that gay marriage makes the baby Jesus cry."

Unfortunately every religion has its crazy fanatics who warp the tenets of their faith to suit their own fears and hatreds. Among Christians, we have the gay-bashing goofs; among Pagans/Wiccans, there are the "call fire from the sky and burn the Christians" nutcases (been on the receiving end of that particular chant, years agone); among the Muslims, there are sucide bombers. None of those represent the true and good and proper form of the religion.

Between the nutcases and the newspapers, we're constantly asked to believe that the few are representative, and that the worst case scenario is the normal state of being. Pfah. You're right, it's wearying. But if we give up, they win .... Thank God/dess(es) that there are good, sane, caring people in any group, to stand up to the insanity of the few. ;]

That description of self-righteous Wiccans... yeesh, I've met that sort. Can't decide yet if they're worse than the utter newbies who think that the epitome of Witchiness is Silver Ravenwolf *deep shudder*

IMO, all forms of extremism are bad stuff. I should know, being BP, how wrong and overwhelming extremities feel. Why anyone would actively choose to live (or die) that way is beyond me.

They're both awful, but I'm inclined to think the self-righteous hate-filled ones are worse. At least the fluffy newbies have no malice.

On the other hand, most of the virulently angry ones I've known have really suffered at the hands of abusive pseudo-Christian cults in one way or another, and anger is a stage you have to pass through in healing, so...
