Riiiight. The majority of Christians ARE control freaks. That's why a gay man or woman cannot get married - because Christians refuse to let them have the freedom to do so (just as they'd like to see abortion outlawed). And don't come-up with some bullshit about how marriage is religious. The word "marriage" was invented by the Latins circa 1000 BC and defined to include any kind of coupling whether male-female or same-sex.
There's a reason the Founders did not want an official state religion. They didn't want to be suppressed by moral dictatorship. The history of the Catholic and Church of England are just as bloody and despotic as the history of Nazi Germany. Whither goes religious persons also goes DEATH and tyranny. Just look at modern-day Iran or Arabia.
A relokgious perdson deserves about as much respect as a member of the KKK.

I'm glad so many people decided to reply to my post! I haven't used slashdot in almost 4 years on even a semi-regular basis, yet my fucking inbox is full of little shitheads like you claiming I'm self-important for seeing a thread of interest and making a joke.
