Exactly How They Are Going to Fight - Read On
With the Supreme
Court ruling on several cases involving same sex marriage expected to be
released in the coming week, a group of hard line conservatives
have issued an ultimatum, although we have no idea what their
ultimatum means.
"As Christians united together in defense of marriage, we pray
that this will not happen. But, make no mistake about our resolve. While there
are many things we can endure, redefining marriage is so fundamental to the
natural order and the true common good that this is the line we must draw and
one we cannot and will not cross."
Now those seem to be fighting words, abut exactly how they intend to fight was not made clear.
So here is what we think will happen.
A group of
religious conservatives banded together under the organizational umbrella of
the Freedom Federation and declared that they will fight the right to marriage
equality and the right of same sex couples to marry by utterly and
totally refusing to marry a person of the same sex.
“We are taking
this drastic step to save America ”
declared a spokesman for the group “and under no conditions, regardless of the
use of force, torture or the withholding of pie will we ever relent and marry a
person of the same sex. Any attempts to
force any of us to marry a person who is not of the opposite sex will be met
with our steady resolve and the invocation of the Almighty to rain down fire
and brimstone, whatever the heck brimstone is, on those who would force us to wed against our
moral principles.”
A spokesman for a
coalition of religious group supporting tolerance and freedom and equality when
asked to comment said “What the hell, pardon the profanity, are these people
talking about?” and went on to raise the question “are these people nuts?” Later in the day an informal committee of
mental health experts confirmed that yes, these people were, to use the
clinical terminology, ‘crazy as bats’.
They later retracted that statement when bats complained about being
lumped together with the Freedom Federation folks.
