Having become sick of some of my friends and family on Facebook bitching and whining about the SCOTUS decision, I decided to write a short rebuttal to them. I did it WITHOUT swearing. 

I'm extremely proud of myself for that.

What I wanted to say: This decision has fuck-all to do with your faith.
What I said: This decision has nothing to do with ANY church.

What I wanted to say: And if your church is so-called "Christian" but believes that "love one another as I have loved you" is a suggestion that only applies to people whose demographics match yours and woe betide anyone who doesn't measure up to your fucking impossible hypocritical standards...
What I saidYour church doesn't want to bless a marriage between two men or two women? Fine

What I wanted to say:
 You're being a fucking bigot because you think same-sex marriage is "icky", just like the lynchings and mobs considered interracial marriage "against God's law". I ASSUME you won't go stone YOUR KID because she married someone from a different race, but HEY, who am I to judge?
What I said:  We knew then and now that it was wrong to deny the legal freedom to marry to couples whose skin colors don't match.

What I wanted to say: You don't follow Christ. I don't know what god's speaking to you, but it's abso-fucking-lutely not Christ. EVEN CHRIST recognized the separation of church and state with that whole "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's". Or did you forget? Also, if you're going to harp on the "one man, one woman" thing, but YOU GOT A DIVORCE, you're a fucking hypocrite and there's nothing you can say to change my mind on that fact. I'm pretty sure the words go something like "What God has joined, let no man put asunder". 
What I said: Why is it so hard to comprehend that it's wrong to deny this freedom to couples whose legal gender matches?

My statement wasn't long and had no profanity. It doesn't sound NEARLY
 as angry as I am with these fuckwits. Just...no. This doesn't threaten your marriage. This doesn't threaten your church. This doesn't change anything that came before except that now the government can't say that some citizens are more equal than others. 

Get a fucking clue. YOU'RE the VILLAIN in this scenario. I'm glad to see you're acting like it. Now either grow a pair and do some soul-searching, maybe read the words of the Christ you're so fond of claiming to follow, and then join us on our quest to actually take care of the sick, the poor, the outcast, and the abandoned. I'm pretty sure those are some of the groups that Christ wanted us to love and pay attention to (Matthew 25, in case you need the reference)
