No Mob Veto - except for churches of course

The religion bigots in the U.S., the ones that help strip thousands of California citizens of *existing* rights, have come under some criticism...and they don't like it.

I can understand that after centuries of having your own way, of burning and inquisitions and (you get the idea), that this new found freedom of the unwashed masses to talk back...to question (shock) the actions of "any faith, on any side of any cause, for any reason" must be extremely irritating.

So what do you do? Why, take out a full page ad in the New York Times of course.

Read it here.

The whole thing reads like the whining of a bully who is surprised by his victim actually having the nerve to fight back...but they have that covered:

"“Furthermore, beginning today, we commit ourselves to exposing and publicly shaming anyone who resorts to the rhetoric of anti-religious bigotry – against any faith, on any side of any cause, for any reason.”

Good, start here then. The Followers of Odin are pansies*.

*(no actual disrespect is intended to the followers of Odin All Father, who's origins go back as far as Christianity. Odin just didn't have as good PR)

The churches should shut the fuck up and realize this is not the 13th century.

Yet.

Ah, happy days. Confess, Confess!
