Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Never did understand how two men(or two women) getting married threatens my marriage. Of course, the folks who are most vocal about "traditional marriage" think I'm going to Hell anyway, so fuck them.
While I sincerely doubt it would have any effect on your marriage, I can kind of see how Michelle Bachmann might consider the prospect of men being able to marry each other a threat to her own.
ALso claiming the founding fathers were Christian.

This. I think it's a stronger argument for modern Christians that the founding fathers were indeed Christian but didn't think they had the right to make that decision for others.
Right? I'm always so confused by people who think they're making some right wing point with that.
Well, usually they go on to say how this is a Christian nation founded on biblical principles....

And that's just not factual. But, it's also not factual for the left wing to say that the founding fathers were not Christian. I guess that's what I was getting at from the beginning.

Well, isn't that fancy!
