Religions - they have to set standards...

Should California Ban Divorce?

The Republicans should love this - they do so respect the sanctity of marriage that you just know this has to be right up their alley.

Rob Cockerham interviewed John Marcotte, a Sacramento man who filed a petition with the California Secretary of State to get a voter's initiative onto the 2010 ballot in California that would make it ban divorce.

RC: Are you going to hit the streets collecting signatures for the initiative?

John: We're going to set up a table in front of Wal*Mart and ask people to sign a petition to protect traditional marriage. We're going to interview them about why they thing traditional marriage is important, and then we'll tell them that we are trying to ban divorce. People who supported Prop 8 weren't trying to take rights away from gays, they just wanted to protect traditional marriage. That's why I'm confident that they will support this initiative, even though this time it will be their rights that are diminished. To not support it would be hypocritical. We're also going to collect signatures in front of "Faces," the largest gay nightclub in Sacramento.

Sanctity of Marriage - Link

Since I discovered the Party of Jesus web site a few days ago, I've been reading a few of their posts. The language is stronger than one usually sees on politically motivated web sites, but it carries some news I'm not seeing elsewhere.

The Attorneys General of ten US States, each and every one of them a member of the Party of Jesus, have petitioned the California State Supreme Court to put a halt to the sane, logical, and just threat of equal rights for all citizens. The fear these Sanctity of Bigotry proponents are experiencing is very well justified. Once gay or lesbian couples from their states get married legally in California, the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Constitution can and will be successfully used to force even Jesus-infested governments to recognize the fact that Equal = Equal.

Before you know it, even states that are as red as the blood of a dead Iraqi child killed in a Republican War President’s faith-based invasion will be forced to treat all citizens with dignity and respect.
