This really made my day when I read it. Seeing the oft-repeated mantras that opponents of gay marriage use to (attempt to) justify their position as to “why homosexuals can’t get married” — seeing the tables turned, especially when fundamentalist religious groups actually commit those ‘crimes’ they fear from the homosexual community without fear of retribution because it’s a free country (when really, it’s not — well, it is if you’re privileged)… Beautiful.

I would sincerely love for some fundamentalist, any religious fundamentalist really, to read this and, if nothing else, pause and start to think before spewing out their venom next time.

If one person starts thinking critically about what they’ve been assuming to be ‘right’, their whole world can change. They might even influence others to take up that most dangerous hobby.

Imagine how confused and guilty children would feel when they were indoctrinated with the bizarre idea that they were born with the stain of original sin and were in fact so inherently bad that a man had to bleed to death to make it all OK.

Actually, I think the writer’s got a legitimate point there.

I think that it would be improved by leaving out the last line — I’m a big fan of letting people come up with the conclusion for themselves by pretty much steering them to it so that they’re the ones saying the words, not me.

In any case, the delivery is pretty damn good.
