My religious beliefs are not part of this. I have concerns about the
application of same-sex marriage as a law, and have said nothing else.
If you want to attack Catholicism, knock yourself out.
I mean, literally, please take a hammer and knock yourself out. It's
boring. Thousands (if not millions) of people have said everything you
are going to say already in the last six months in hundreds of places,
and I am tired of hearing about people's problems with the church.
I am about as open-minded a Catholic as they come, and confusing me with
a bible beater on this list reflects poor reading comprehension.

catholic guilt, that's a joke people were telling back in the

Lots of things strike me as odd. It strikes me as odd that you
can relate
your sins to some guy and be completely free of any guilty of
having done
them. It strikes me as odd that my grandfather never tasted
bacon. It
strikes me as odd that folks eat little wafers that taste like
styrofoam and
pretend its the flesh of some guy who died a couple thousand
years ago.
However, I certainly wouldn't get in the way of your ability to
do any of
these things, because they dont' affect me. When your religious
beliefs
affect others, thats a whole nother can of worms, isn't it?
