Wonder what Jesus thinks about blitzkrieg.

Considering he taught love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek, etc. Probably not much:

The primary focus of the call was Proposition 8 in California, described by Colson as “the Armageddon of the culture war.” Many speakers invoked the language of warfare, raising up an army of believers, putting soldiers in the streets, being on the front lines of a battle. Lou Engle actually described a massive rally planned in Qualcomm stadium on November 1 as a “blitzkrieg moment.”

….

Another speaker, Rev. Dudley Rutherford, predicted that if Prop. 8 fails, the God-ordained institution of marriage would be destroyed; the engine of hate crimes legislation would be fueled, ultimately leading to it being illegal to read some sections of the Bible; the floodgates would be open to gay couples suing to force churches to marry them; and the polygamists would be next.

Seriously fucking stop. Really. Although when prop 8 does pass (and it will). I do look forward to marrying my cat. The wife and I are planning a nice ceremony at the local church. Is it polygamy when you and your wife marry an animal?

Oh and the next time some screaming right-wing-armageddon-screeching preacher shows you a video of the San Francisco pride parade, keep in mind California is a big state and their are a lot of right wing nut jobs here too.

I am fully looking forward to listening to the hyperventilating that will ensue when prop 8 does pass.
