This isn't funny
(But then when I try to be funny it isn't funny either). I live in the supposedly "liberal" State of Vermont in the US. Right now the state legislature is actually doing something that could be construed as "liberal" and may very likely pass a gay marriage bill that allows everyone the same right to marriage.

Seems like a really simple concept. If you want to get married, you should be able to get married. What's the big deal? There isn't any in reality. Gay marriage won’t hurt me or my 20 yr marriage but it give some other people the chance to be happy.

However, since this started, the religious folk of all sorts have started screaming vehemently that this is against God. The nicer ones just say that God doesn’t allow it; the worst ones talk about killing gays and that gays are an abomination, etc….. Christian, Jews, and Muslims are all saying how bad gay marriage is (although there are a few clergy who welcome the chance to give all people the freedom to choose who they want to marry instead of being told who by a priest, minister, rabbi, imam, etc).

If this isn’t a reason for the separation of church and state, I don’t know what is.

You didn't pay much attention to the Bush administration, did you?

Yes I did
and almost left the country. The right wing religious nut cases screaming about the love of Jesus while they scream about killing moslems, gays, and whatever else they can have pretty much taken over this country. Hopefully we are seeing a change but probably too little too late.
