Berating the Right and More On Legal Polygamy

I get such a kick out of CRWX-tians. They say we demonize them, yet it's they who claim we gays and lesbians are perverted, abnormal, an aberration, and we're all going to hell. Now I would think that going to hell would demonize us, no??


Pat Robinson: "Homosexuality is an abomination, the practices of these people is appalling."

James Dobson: "The documents being issued all across Massachusetts may say 'marriage license' at the top but they are really death certificates for the institution of marriage as it has served society for thousands of years."

Jerry Falwell: "These perverted homosexuals absolutely hate everything that you and I and most decent, God-fearing citizens stand for. Make no mistake. These deviants seek no less than total control and influence in society, politics, our schools and in our exercise of free speech and religious freedom..If we do not act now, homosexuals will own America!"

Robert Knight (Family Research Council): "There is a strong undercurrent of pedophilia in the homosexual subculture. Homosexual activists want to promote the flouting of traditional sexual prohibitions at the earliest possible age....they want to encourage a promiscuous society - and the best place to start is with a young and credulous captive audience in the public schools."

Dr. Paul Cameron: "The typical sexual practices of homosexuals are a medical horror story --imagine exchanging saliva, feces, semen and/or blood with dozens of different men each year. Imagine drinking urine, ingesting feces and experiencing rectal trauma on a regular basis. Often these encounters occur while the participants are drunk, high, and/or in an orgy setting. Further, many of them occur in extremely unsanitary places."


Oh yeah, and I got taken to the carpet because I mentioned that some in this country would like to see the "final solution" for gays and lesbians come about. More from Dr. Cameron:


"Unless we get medically lucky, in three or four years, one of the options discussed will be the extermination of homosexuals."


But I digress. What I really want to talk about is Polygamy. I find it silly that most CRWX-tians fear that if gay marriage is legal in the United States that it will lead to the legalization of polygamy. They point to the problems on the Arizona/Utah border and the Morman breakaway sect that practices polygamy as an example of what's to come.

First of all, what's happening in Colorado City and Hillsdale has little to do with polygamy as it was practiced in the Bible. Basically what's going on up there is that old farts are forcing (by beating) young 15 and 16 year old girls to marry them. What's truly heinous is these girls have NO choice in the matter. It's not marriage, it's kidnapping. And now, after 20 years of Republican government in Arizona, a governor from the Democratic party is finally doing something about it. I live in Arizona and I know a bit about what's going on with this. Here's a few articles from the Arizona Republic so you can check out what's really happening up there.

Oh and by the way, God doesn't say ANYTHING against polygamy in the Bible. Most of the Hebrew kings practiced polygamy and they were loved by God. Timothy just says that a minister should only have one wife, thereby implying that anyone else can marry as many women as they please. But in today's world, I doubt that you will find many women willing to be wife #7 of her own free will. Unless the guy was really, really rich - then 50 of them would marry him on TV. But face it, Money buys a lot of things. The wealthy and powerful haven't lost the knack of supporting concubines. One wonders if polygamy were made legal in the country, how many senators and congressmen would have more than one wife?

So if you're one of those people who feels better when your screaming and yelling that gays demonize Christians, I suggest you read some of the things CRWX-tians say about gay people first. Especially that preacher from Kansas who wants to set up monuments when gays are killed celebrating their entrance into hell. Then talk to me about how the big bad gays are calling you names - like bigot.

Really?? Gawd, how truly awful they are!!
