"There had been abuse in my family. But it was mostly musical in nature."

One of the things that has always amazed me about staunch religious supporters is that they believe, without question, that the Bible is the world of God.

However, it was written and translated and deciphered over thousands of years. So much can be misinterpretted, left out, or mistaken.

God him or herself doesn't publish the translations directly, but through humans.

Now since when have humans been noted for consistent, spot-on communication? Hells bells. People can read the same news reports, live in the same neighborhood, and still have different opinions about what's going on around them.

And between the time Jesus walked this earth and the time we started publishing Bibles for mass distribution, we had the Dark Ages, where any number of documents could have been burned. One of them being a whole book of retractions. God could have said:

"I've changed my mind. I was drunk when I rattled off Leviticus. I was hung over, too. Hence all the 'vomiting from the earth' references. It's not so bad, a man laying down with another man. It's just not nearly as hot as two women, but the Lord digresses. Really, just be good for each other, and all love is good. Except fornicating with livestock. That's just a bad idea."

It could happen.

Hahahahaha!

I wonder if people really care about gay marriages or if this is just the 'cause' of the year. I think ALL marriages should be banned.

"Look, if you want to get married, bring 2.3 squalling brats into the world and then get divorced with the other 50% of your married peers, fine; but don't expect the government to step in and do anything to help you sort custody, child support, or who's filing what on your taxes next year."
