More Missives from Jesusland

* A bill before the Alabama state legislature that would ban all books by gay authors or with gay characters: "I don't look at it as censorship," says State Representative Gerald Allen. "I look at it as protecting the hearts and souls and minds of our children."

* Any flavor you want, as long as it's vanilla: "The 4th Circuit ruled Chesterfield [VA] County's Board of Supervisors did not show impermissible motive in refusing to permit a pantheistic invocation by a Wiccan because its list of clergy who registered to conduct invocations covers a wide spectrum of Judeo-Christian denominations."

* Tolerance = bigotry: "A federal judge on Thursday blocked a [MD] county school system from instituting a health curriculum that includes discussions of homosexuality. U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams agreed with two groups that sued contending such discussions gave preference of religions that are tolerant of homosexuality over those that reject it."

I just want to point out something. ALl this crap going on in Kansas is symbolic, not a real threat. The fundies love to stomp their feet, pull their hair, and shout, but at the end of the day they go home happy and nothing changes.

Its all about getting your voice heard, not about getting anything done.
