Why Prop 8 needed to pass

OK, before everyone calls me an asshole for this let me explain. First off, I don't care if gay or lesbian couple want the same rights as heterosexual couples get. As a civil rights struggle I am for them. I think for the most part most people are for this. The issue is the word marriage, some people put undo importance on the word itself, so any try to change it's meaning do to it's religious connotation will be an issue for sure to a lot of people, and at the moment I'm not interested in open war with these people.

With that said, I'm sorry it was the homosexuals that took the blow against them for the preservation of keeping church and state separate. This is why I am glad the prop passed. If we tell churches that they have to marry people then that religion becomes a state sanctioned religion. Granted multiple religions may be forced to change holy text to allow gay marriage to happen. On that part I could care less, but once we start telling churches how to act it will be a double bladed edge. So that is why I am happy it passed. I'm sorry but I refuse to bow to any deity. So it may seem that I'm throwing them under the bus to slow it down till it hits me.

Now since they already get state money because of the Bush administration I guess what I said is a moot point. Though I guess until you only have atheists run the government the church has already won. Now before you get your torches and pitchforks they don't have a central ruler to attack. As it is three of them fight over the same deity.

A friend of mine said it's no big deal Obama will fix this. Well that's a comforting thought I suppose but one flaw a rises. That is that neither Obama or Biden are for gay marriage. Plus federal government can't undo state laws. If they could there would be no medical pot and no assisted suicides.

Like I said I really don't have anything against the gay community, I just don't want to have to submit to someones imaginary friend. For their monetary benefit advancement.
