Atheist Fag

Today, November 3, 2009, voters in the great state of Maine will go to the polls to vote on Question 1, a ballot measure based on California Proposition H8 that would render null and void the legality of same-sex marriage in Maine despite the fact that their "activist" legislature and "activist" Governor passed and signed a law to establish equal marriage rights for all citizens.

Of course among the most prominent sponsors of Question 1 are major Jeebus Industry organizations such as the Holy Roman Catholic Church - which has reduced child rape up to 5% this year, and other self righteous groups who actually believe they have an invisible super pal who lives in a secret compartment concealed behind the sky and cries every time two guys kiss.

There also are some people who do believe in an Imaginary Bearded Sky Daddy yet still think each person should have equal justice under the law, but these are ordinary people who work at honest jobs, not priests who wear dresses, complain about other people's morality, then leer at 12 year old altar boys.

Most religious leaders are still desperately interested in protecting the Sanctity of Bigotry because it gives them an imagined handle on moral superiority and it sure brings in the cash from homophobic parishioners.

And it barely needs to be said that the Republican Party, a/k/a Party of Jesus, would be perfectly happy if they could ride a wave of fear mongering, homophobia, and spiteful innuendo to election victory. It has worked for them in the past.

Will this be the first time in the United States that the Jeebus Industry loses at the polls with one of their piously spiteful ballot measures? As a militant atheist fag I sure hope it will be.

Good luck to the wonderful people of Maine!
