Recently, with Republicans using gay marriage as a wedge issue to bring folk to the polls, I have again been wondering what we should do when bigots come to the table expressing the opinion that certain fools (should have been foods)some enjoy should be banned.
Rational thinking people who grow up free from the social indoctrination of religious texts that have codified bigotry of one kind or another react powerfully when nut case fanatics try to vote to limit their rights. They want to pack the courts with liberals or violently respond, etc.
Similarly, these folk who know the Word of God, are hell bent as it were, to save civilization from a repeat of Sodom and Gomorrah by cramming their notions of morality down others throats.
What we have here, it would seem, are folk who are sure they are right, one because of logic and reason, and the other because of faith.
Should one side be exterminated by the other for the overall peace it will bring, regardless of which, or should the side that is right eliminate the other? Is one side right? Can both be? Can neither be? What will be the future of our table?
