God save us from the SBC

Lord have mercy. Richard Land and his fellow Baptoconservatarians are sharpening their knives for "Marriage Protection Sunday," as the upcoming June 4 hate-fest has been christened (baptized)?

Marriage Protection Sunday: Churches encouraged to address 'gay marriage' June 4 - (BP)

The ERLC, the Southern Baptist Convention’s public policy entity, is requesting pastors to address “same-sex marriage” June 4 and to encourage church members to ask their senators to support the amendment.

“Supporters of traditional marriage [Which tradition? That of King Solomon and his 700 wives and 300 concubines?] need to bombard their senators’ offices with e-mails and phone calls,” ERLC President Richard Land told Baptist Press, “and preachers across America need to let the pulpit ring forth in clear and no uncertain [And he speak English no so good.] terms on Marriage Protection Sunday, June 4, and help create a groundswell of support for this amendment. I can assure you the opponents of traditional marriage [Yes, they oppose one man and one woman getting married. Wait; no, they don't, actually.] are doing their best to let their voices be heard in the corridors of the Senate. It is up to us to let our voices be heard loudly [uhhh...one can speak loudly, but is it possible to hear loudly? Grammarians...help me out here.] as well.”

Massachusetts is the only state to have legalized “same-sex marriage,” [And, as we all know, the earth opened and swallowed the entire state like it did Korah, Dathan, and Abiram...uh, no, I guess it didn't.] but state supreme courts in New Jersey, New York and Washington could legitimize such unions before the end of the year.

The gravity of the issue calls for the effort the ERLC is making to mobilize Southern Baptists, said Barrett Duke [Related to those boys from Hazzard? Son of Daisy Duke? Cousin to David Duke?], the entity’s vice president for pubic public policy and research.

“We just don’t see anything in American life at this point that has greater implications for our culture than the same-sex marriage issue,” Duke told BP. “Just about every area of life will be impacted if same-sex
marriage becomes the law of the land.” [Right--40 million Americans without health insurance, thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians dead in Iraq, rampant corruption in our GOP-led government, possible nuclear war with Iran: child's play. Plus if those homos get married and move in next door, I might get those...y'know...feelings again...if they, like sunbathe out back and stuff.]
