QuoteLast week I groaned when I read how Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill into law in California which foisted homosexuality upon the children of that state through the state school system. The bill was SB777 and it clearly redefines (perverts) what sexuality is, as well as promotes the legitmacy of homosexuality upon children starting from kindergarten on up. He signed the bill on Saturday, October 13th.

Seven days later on October 20th, wildfires broke out across California in several places.

So not only is it arson, but if they can prove some gays were injured or lost property, then it becomes a hate crime as well huh!!

I've been thinking that the air blower in my car doesn't work properly because of gays.
I wonder if they are also causing global warming and over fishing of the world's oceans?

Well, you know, everyone says that the Gays are the one responcible for Bush being President. I know that once I heard that I was against all homosexuality.

I am laughing my ass of.  GOD I love these people!  It's too bad they're an endangered species.   :'(

If anything, this just makes a connection between religious fanaticism and terrorism.  Wait a minute, you mean that connection was already there?   :o

Oh jeeze!

     I apologize.  I did not mean to say that gays caused these things.  It is my tolerance of gays that caused it all.

    God only knows what disasters would befall the world if I started to tolerate heteros.

I'm sure that the houses that were spared, though it seemed intermittent, were actually the homes of those who were gay bashers.  So God took pity and spared their homes since God loves biggots and hates gays.

(said with tongue firmly in cheek)

I am glad I don't believe in such an arbitrary and spiteful God.

Oy!! It's really hard to feel tolerance for people holding these beliefs.

Sort of on the subject, we just watched the documentary, Friends of God: A Road Trip with Alexandra Pelosi. It's a window into the evangelical mindset... pretty scary. See it if you get the chance.

It just occurred to me that if the public was told that the wildfires are gay, then the number of firefighting volunteers would triple with the numbers of the righteous who would feel obligated to do something about it.

I think that the open tolerance of heterosexuals has caused an injury to the dog I'm looking after. This sort of thing must stop. Mixed marriages don't work.

This is interesting since the authorities believe many of the fires were started by arsonists. I wonder if there's a connection?

It would not surprise me either.  I've seen some people do some really crazy things in the name of God.  The Governator today promised he would catch the one responsible.  It will be interesting to see how it all works out.

Then, as he is about to punch them, an electric jolt will cause his system to go down long enough for the culprit to get around him.

Don't forget that the Fundie twins (Roberston/Falwell) said tolerance of gays caused 9/11.

If I was smart I would keep my mouth shut.

But, I find it somewhat offensive seeing all of you treat these fires like a joke.  I live here.

One was an accident, a welder got careless, a couple were by downed electrical wires, and yes a couple were by arsonists.

Arsonists who get a feeling of power and control by watching the flames and destruction, nothing more, nothing less.

Over 2000 families lost their homes, I know several of them. 

I will shut up now.

I'm sorry.  We were poking fun at people who blame tragedies on other people, in this case, homosexuals.
      I'll stop.  I understand the fires themselves are really tragic.  I wish there were a way to seriously prevent such disasters.

Oh, Sarah...

Profound apologies if this came across like we were making fun of anybody's loss.  That was not my intention.  The blame for some of this just seems outlandish that it was amusing to some.  We did not stop to think about how it might come across to you.  So very sorry.
