I have a month of queue going on, due to travelling and mind-broadening stuff. The truth is out there, and so is a lot of bullshit, but that just fertilises the truth.

Here’s the thing… If someone wants to have a theocracy and run the government according to a particular religion, shouldn’t that apply to every aspect of the government? A primary part of Jesus’ ministry was healing the injured and sick, feeding the hungry, helping the poor. If someone wants a government based on Christianity they should support universal health care, progressive taxation and extensive programs to support society’s most vulnerable. Considering the focus Jesus put on those things, they should be the most urgent. If those things aren’t the government’s job, nor is regulating marriage.
