and then there's crazy and stupid. Meet Gordon Klingenschmitt, who doesn't know where he ends and God begins. Here are his "arguments" against marriage equality. You'll note that many of them involve weakening our national security, probably because Klingenschmitt is a former military chaplain who was drummed out of the service for -- well, not knowing where he ends and God begins. Read the list -- there are seven "reasons," but he's sure he could come up with more. One or two of them are almost coherent, but that's only because they're flat assertions, with no elaboration.
This is the money quote:
Another WTF? moment from the "Christian" right.
This is the money quote:
. . . my own marriage has been adversely impacted (as I said twice on your show), and yet my love for my wife and my relationship with her remains faithful and unchanged.

Unbelievable assholery. They're deprived of their ability to worship in a "Christian" chapel because it's been "desecrated" by same-sex wedding ceremonies? They're poorer because the benefits long accorded heterosexual married couples are being expanded to same-sex couples? "Christians" and Catholic charities are no longer able to put children up for adoption (see: anti-discrimination laws; do not see: same-sex marriage)? If it weren't so bigoted it would almost be amusing. Almost.
On the "Christian chapel" thing, that's total bullshit -- military chapels are non-denominational and are used by Christians, Muslims, and anyone else -- even, it bad weather, Wiccans.
As for the rest, it's pretty nearly word salad.
