“You've confused a 'war on your religion' with 'not always getting everything you want.' America isn't Nazi Germany. And the secret police aren't coming for ya. Hell, the IRS isn't even coming for ya. This government 'hates' religious organizations so much, it lets them keep $100 billion a year in offerings tax-free. Persecute my ass like that!”

“Now, it seems, the 'religious right' thinks they own the word marriage. But, it's not about religion. Marriage is a civil contract that affords certain rights and privileges under the law. If marriage were about religion, we would go to the church to obtain a marriage license and not to our county clerk's office, wouldn't we?
