This Is What Religious Law Looks Like

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

This picture is savagely disgusting, but it proves a point. The point?  This is what happens when you pass laws codifying religion – one specific group of people pushing to have laws passed based on their religion.  In the above case, it’s Islamic law.  But how is this different than groups like National Organization for [...]

Words cannot describe

Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

I’m so angry right now, words cannot describe the complete and unequaled hate that I feel.  I don’t use that word lightly, either.  But it’s the only way that I can describe the group that put this image up:   How infuriating is it that these people – and I use that term lightly – [...]

If the tables were turned…
