the cheese stands alone

A Thought

I've been thinking about this whole bag of crapola re: gay and lesbian marriage and all the legal furor under the guise of religion, and it seems to boil down to this:
Doesn't it seem that probably long ago, another culture began to determine its laws and regulations based on what a particular religious group believed, and then years and years and years later wound up flying several aircraft in a very murderous manner, killing thousands of people because they refused to believe the same bullshit?
I'm not saying it's the same degree, but it certainly has the same odor about it. But then, you start flinging that godshite around and it's bound to stink.
