		<description>Wayne,

You&#039;re trying to use reason with the unreasonable. &quot;Christian&quot; bigots do not, will not listen to reason. Never have, never will. Keep on exposing their demand for special rights. Theirs is no &quot;love&quot; and truth WILL win out. It&#039;s just that in America, religious extremists are currently in charge. I hope and pray that changes - and soon.</description>

		<description>I agree. People should be allowed to marry animals. As long as the animal is of age, can sign its name, and can give informed consent.

Anyone who equates gay marriage with marrying animals is beneath contempt.</description>

		<description>Why don&#039;t we gather enough signatures and try to get the costitution changed to ban divorce?  After all the solemn vows of marriage (which they all claim is religious) states ... in sickness and health, til death do you part.  So if they get a divorce they are going straight to hell according to their beliefs, so lets keep them from going to hell by making them stay married.</description>

		<description>What can you do about churches in your area that are violating their tax-exempt status?

Call your local IRS office and request an investigation. The IRS loves tipsters.</description>

		<description>Great article! Interesting how gay marriage is illegal and vigorously fought by those who now advocate breaking the law to suit their agenda.</description>

		<description>I see very few responses to GMan...I guess for good reason, why legitimize such a diatribe coming from the &quot;village idiot&quot; as someone so eloquently said.

Spelling and grammar asside (where were you educated, if at all?) your logic is just ridiculous.  Here I go legitimizing but I have one point to make:  You say we founded this country on a principle of religious freedom to protect us from the &quot;silly&quot; actions of the English church against citizens.  Excuse me but denying civil rights, inciting hatred and violence and educating against science are not &quot;silly&quot; actions.  We need protection FROM religion due to your ignorance and hatred allowing churches to perpetuate their harm.

Don&#039;t worry, there will be no reckoning, you are wasting your time pursuing your hateful &quot;christian&quot; morals.  You have been fooled and are too dumb to see it.  Why would churches spend so much time generating as large a membership as possible if they knew the real truth?  They don&#039;t, they are using lies to get your uneducated brain washed money into their coffers.

And just as we have made a &quot;choice&quot; as you say (our choice is to be true to ourselves) maybe you need to as well.

Why are you so interested in gays and our hard-ons anyway?  Why are you coming here posting knowing we will disagree with you?  I know the answer....ask your wife, or look inside your closet.</description>
