Much Ado about Nothing

"The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation."
-- Pierre Elliott Trudeau

And in my opinion, neither does the Catholic Church.

This whole thing is one stupid collossal waste of time...

If you are Catholic, but choose to be gay, you are rejecting Catholicism, because Rome makes the rules. You won't convince them that your homosexuality is a good thing and something to be celebrated. Trying to get them to OK your union is silly, kind of like getting homophobic parents to accept your "lover" as family. You will have to decide the "morality" of your own behaviour because love and acceptance from Rome ain't gonna happen.

The church is trying to flex its muscles over democratically-elected (OK I'm stretching that here in the Liberal-party-fiefdom of Canada) politicians by threatening them with hell-fire and damnation. This is EXACTLY why seperation of church and state is a GOOD thing: so that I don't have to deal with stupid intrusions into my life by fairy-tale religious ceremonies that have nothing to do with me.

And to all the nutbars out there that think discipline started to crumble in public schools when they took out the Lords Prayer: you're so wrong. Discipline crumbled when it was hammered home that teachers were powerless to enforce any kind of discipline (physical or emotional) on students because the indulgent whiny parents would show up screaming "not MY Johnny!!" when confronted with what idiots their kids were being. Johnny got it in his mind that teachers were useless and decided to treat them as such. The Lord's Prayer had nothing to do with anything.

But I ramble and digress (but hey, it's my blog! Ahahahahaha!)

Currently the situation is such a mess, much akin to what's coming down the pipe with the Marijuana laws in Canada.
