Hating Gay People, and Calling It "Religious Freedom"

RIGHT WING AMERICAN RELIGIOUS WACKOS, of which there is no short supply, continue their angry, desperate rear guard screeching about their right to discriminate against LGBTs, aka "gay folk", or "alternative lifestyle citizens". They call discrimination "religious freedom". This certainly sounds a good deal more positive than its real name: "bigotry". And so what? Hell, let 'em exercise their precious religious freedom all they want, and just watch 'em go out of business. Brilliant business people, those right wing Christian capitalists. The Jesus, guns, and money crowd, killing their own sacred profit seeking capitalist business model with their very own bigotry. The rest of us, the sensible ones, can shop elsewhere. The fools would be humorous, were they not in such deadly earnest. Sane, secular, American civic society will go on its merry progressive way, leaving the religious wackos far behind, consigned soon enough to the trash heap of historical garbage. Only in Latin America is Christianity growing in number, and that only modestly. The world is, belatedly, becoming a more scientific, secular place. The best evolutionary path would be for anti-gay people to stop being anti-gay, and to jus go away and not give a damn. That'll take a while; our fanatical friends are simply not yet ready to handle meaninfgul cultural evolution. They are too emotionally captive to a religion whose Word of God commands that parents put disobedient children to death, and demands blood sacrifices; Isaac or a ram, either will do. Any god who gives explicit instructions on how a man should sell his daughter into sexual slavery is likely to hate gay people, and Lord only knows who else.
