O Hai James Dobson... Focus On Your Family And Leave Me Alone!

Why is it that the freaks come out of the woodwork every four years in time for an election? Case in point: James Dobson. Apparently he thinks people want to hear what he has to say and CNN feels the need to validate this.

His latest move is accusing Obama of 'distorting' the Bible. Now, I don't think Obama has really misinterpreted or distorted anything, but is rather, you know, upholding Separation of Church and State. There is a difference people. Not everyone agrees on everything and therefore we should not tailor the Constitution according to one religion. Religion is not a fact (re: the 40292 different kinds in the world, all proclaiming to be correct) and therefore, factual life should not be based on it.

I mean, yeah, please don't go raping and killing and pillaging and drowning kittens, but I'm pretty sure not doing that has nothing to do with religion anyway.

If someone is "morally" opposed to something that does not directly affect them in any way and it doesn't harm others, then yes, they are free not to do it, but they are also not free to change the rules so others cannot -- especially if they are not in the majority. And James is certainly not in the majority, he is craaazzzzy and people only listen to him because he hides behind a bible. Not cool, Jimmy, I want facts behind your arguments.

I just have a really hard time with people who are like, against gay marriage. What does it have to do with you? REALLY? Are you dragged into their bedroom and forced to watch? Do you have gay people beating down your door telling you to change your straight ways? If you don't like it/think it's awful/gross/damning into eternal hellfire, then by all means, don't do it. But if other people don't think it is a bad thing and want to marry the person they love, then they should be able to.
