This Week in God.... (Maddow blog) [View all]

First up from the God Machine this week is a closer look at the religious right movement’s reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on marriage equality – which can roughly be described as this generation of the movement’s worst nightmare.

To put it mildly, the religious right isn’t altogether pleased. Right Wing Watch pulled together a collection of reactions yesterday from some of the movement’s more notable groups and leaders, all of whom are apoplectic. But only one religious right figure compared the ruling to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor – and then kept going.
Following the Supreme Court ruling striking down state bans on gay marriage this morning, American Family Radio’s Bryan Fischer had a bit of a meltdown on Twitter, which he subsequently cobbled together into a column that he then read on his radio program this afternoon.

In the span of two minutes, he managed to compare the ruling to 9/11, slavery, the attack on Pearl Harbor, and Sodom and Gomorrah.

“From a moral standpoint, 6/26 is the new 9/11,” Fischer declared, “because it was on this day that five justices of the United States Supreme Court became moral jihadists. They became rainbow jihadists and they blasted the twin pillars of truth and righteousness into rubble. And they did this by imposing sodomy-based marriage on the United States through an act of judicial tyranny.”
Fischer quite literally referred to June 26, 2015 as “a date which will live in infamy. On this day, the United States became Sodom and Gomorrah.”

I just love this:

"imposing sodomy-based marriage "

1) Nothing in any marriage requires sodomy. (Marriages are based on the type of sex they are gonna have or not have?)
2) Straight marriages also indulge in sodomy
3) Is the only reason to get married to have sex? Children?
4) Why are these people so intrigued and fascinated by sodomy?????
