Round ‘n’ Round We Go

I don’t understand what’s going on in our country right now. I just don’t get how the Religious Right can be campaigning so adamantly about making abortion illegal and keeping gays and lesbians from marrying each other and all the while spouting Bible verses as their reasons; yet there is also a strong movement in this country to have The Ten Commandments removed from public courthouses because of separation of Church and State. If we’re so interested in keeping our Church and State separate, why are legislators trying to pass laws that affect other people’s lives based on their own personal religious beliefs?

I just don’t get it. This world seems more and more illogical and contradictory by the day.

   What buzzed me recently was learning that the southern states, the hotbed of ‘Christian’ fundamentalist moral outrage, also has the highest rate of divorce in the US. So the very people who are foaming at the mouth over the sanctity of the family see nothing wrong in abandoning their own kids to messy separations - proven to be a disaster zone for kids of all ages. The sheer hypocrisy of your power-hungry ‘Taliban’ never ceases to amaze me. Actually, they just ought to allow gay marriage as under their narrow view of the world such a move should bring the Rapture forward! And isn’t that what they are waiting for?
