The Reverend's Wisdom
I just read Adri's latest. It was an interesting read, I thought. Anyway, the road to freedom of any kind is paved by big, rusty nails put there by conservative members of society. Always has been, always will be. As the good Reverend would say:

---

In the late 1700s some people wanted democratic rule. Conservative elements of the church pointed to the Bible and said it proved that the king ruled by God's will.

In the mid 1800s some people wanted to end slavery. Conservative elements of the church pointed to the Bible and said it proved that God approved of slavery.

In the early 1900s some people wanted to give women the vote. Conservative elements of the church pointed to the Bible and said it proved that God made women inferior to men.

In the mid 1900s some people wanted to end segregation. Conservative elements of the church pointed to the Bible and said it proved God wanted to keep the races separate.

When you look back at how your parents and grandparents dealt with these things, are you ashamed or proud?

Now some people want to allow gay marriage. Conservative elements of the church are pointing to the Bible and saying it proves God hates homosexuality.

When your children and grandchildren look back at how you deal with this, will they be ashamed or proud?

I think that it's not only the Church, but conservative elements of society in general. So, here's a message to you guys.



To the people who are now fighting for the right to love whom they will without being discriminated against, think about what the Reverend said and remember that many others have gone before you. One day, you, too, will succeed and drag each and every single one of those conservative pricks, kicking and screaming, out of the fucking Dark Ages. It has happened before, and it will happen again. Amen.
