Not many people read her anymore, it only got 15 comments LOL. Just as well. Did anybody read Maggie Gallagher's weird article on Townhall.com, where she thinks the year is 2008 instead of 2009?

Oh stop it...yes you do. If you people really cared about the word of god you'd stop judging others and you'd CERTAINLY stop misquoting the bible to further your own, narrow agenda. Just sayin... And just because I'm indifferent to SSM doesn't mean I don't wish for other's to have that right (yes, right). Unlike you sheeple...I don't push my views on others and force them to live within the confines of MY OPINION. I know what you'll say next....but gay marriage FORCES the church to accept something it doesn't agree with. No it doesn't. Churches are exempt...always have been. And marriage is a legal contract, not a church contract. This is why Brittney Spears can get married by an Elvis Impersonator while in drunken haze in Las Vegas. !

Honestly, I don't care too much about same sex marriage - it's really not important to me. What is important is keeping a pulse on jesus freaks and sheeple like you. I'll indulge you - exactly what am I missing about your commitment to refusing people the right to marry? What's the core of your belief? This oughta be stunning. p.s. Persuade the people? I'm pretty sure you guys just got your hats handed to you here in DC with an 11-2 vote.

Are you insane? Your babble makes no coherent sense at all. Seriously. Get some help. Those who support marriage do so for many reasons, none of which you have come close to articulating. Perhaps it is your backhanded way of addressing the issues that keeps your side from truly seeing what the issues are and thus being able to address them. No wonder you have not been able to persuade the people. John KFC,

And I find it HYSTERICAL that individuals (such as yourself) who make it their life's work to shame and belittle others would DARE call someone ELSE a bigot. The scary part is that you probably believe you are doing god's work. Last time I checked, supporting genocide (Uganda comes to mind...are you listening Rick Warren?) and driving young people to take their own lives was outside the scope of what god intended. The sad part is that I know this isn't over for the citizens of DC. You'll threaten to cut off money and bullying people using "reworded" scripture to over-turn this vote...then you'll all rejoice that you stripped the rights of individual citizens...all in the name of your twisted version of God.

You are free to disagree, but please, keep your fear mongering epithets to yourself. If that is all you have to muster to your side's defense, then it is a weak defense indeed. George Lee John KFC,

People aren't buying it anymore. It's over. You DO preach hate. You DO preach intolerance. And you ARE responsible for the thousands that take their owns lives because they can't see themselves in the twisted reflection of god's love that you and people like you love to promote. And now the very people you link arms with are promoting the genocide of gays in Uganda. Or didn't you know? Perhaps you should do little research. I sleep very well at night. How about you?

Is the blood of Stalin's regime on your hands because you support tyrannical political policies that squash freedom of speech, conscience and religion? eh, notsomuch. I understand you're upset about NY, Maine and California, but let's keep it real. Go ahead and disagree here, you're free to do that, but don't think you can win any points by false insinuations.

People have a hard time placing their faith in an organization so willing to strike out against those with the least. Not a very god-focused stance. Face it, people are starting see through the lies and corrupt practices of the catholic church. No more hiding behind the bible or misquoted scripture. We're smarter than that now. And that scares you people to death. Your kind have done nothing but preach hate and intolerance...so many people have lost their lives because money and power were more important to you than love and respect. Their blood is on your hands and now my friend, it's time to reap what you've sown.

It seems to me that these kinds of issues are extremely vital and everyone has a right and even a responsibility to be involved in them. Sean Martin,

But some of us fight against AIDs, some against Breast Cancer, some against Homelessness, some for clean water, some for poor little critters, and some of us -- yes some of us -- fight against fatherlessness and the breakdown of the family that is at the core of so many social ills. Stopping the slide of SSM is just one part of restoring marriage to the importance it once held, and should still hold. You may now return to your peace rally, or whatever it is that YOU fight for.

You and I have the same rights, the same privileges, the same dignity....yet you find a way to justify hating me for my beliefs and opinions which are simply different than yours.
