Snakes don't talk? HARRY POTTER LIES! Now, as to the intolerance and ignorance, isn't that the root of most bigotry? We've got a whole inclass/outclass thing going on in Christianity today that has me upset, and is probably going to be the source of a future post. Isn't the whole point of Christianity to be one class? Not further class warfare? I don't know. I'm obviously stupid. My bible has never told me to hate homosexuals. Besides, they dress better than I do. Wait. Snakes don’t talk? HARRY POTTER LIES!

And, sad to say, most of our ignorance, intolerance, and backward thinking comes straight from the Bible or--more accurately--what people interpret the Bible to say. No wait--what their preacher tells them it says (most of these dimwits never read it for themselves). The politicians are pandering to their narrow minded base. It is not unlike the marijuana issue. Every one knows it is ridiculous to keep it illegal, but no one has the balls to stand up and say so. Most know (down deep, even if they won't admit it) that this type of bigotry is wrong, but no one has the balls in this state to stand up and say so. Too many douchbags out there who are afraid to think for themselves. As the marching evangelist would say: "I don't hate homosexuals. God does." We keep trying to legislate "morality." The problem is, most of what you find in the Bible has nothing to do with morality. How does homosexuality being an "abomination" make me a better, more moral, and spritually sound person? It doesn't. Do I have to believe in talking snakes too? Alabama is and has been behind the times on most issues.

When are we going to have a party that truly represents people who think correctly? You know, people who think like me?

Irony is a gift wasted on bigots.
