Good luck with that!

Intolerant doofuses in California have decided that the possibility that the state's legalization of gay marriage won't be overturned in a November ballot initiative have decided to fast and pray that the gay marriage ban will pass.

If that's all they do, then great, those who want to move us all forward into the future have won. Prayer won't do a thing and throwing a tantrum by not eating isn't going to sway anyone.

But, oops, they can't even fast right.

Jim Garlow, the pastor of the evangelical Skyline Church in San Diego County, said he expects up to 100 young adults to spend five-plus weeks on his campus, subsisting on soup, juice and the promise of societal salvation.

Didn't anyone tell them that eating soup and drinking juice AREN'T fasting? Unless this is some sort of lame-ass new fasting with which I'm not familiar. Oh, how will they ever survive on such a meager diet?!? I'm sure they considered an all-out food strike but maybe they realized that most decent people would just let them starve.

Mormon congregations in California are taking marching orders straight from Salt Lake City. A June 29 letter in which the Mormon president asked members to lend support to the proposed amendment has been read repeatedly at church services, along with a 1995 church proclamation that warns: "The disintegration of the family will bring ... the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets."

Hey, Mormon President. If your marriage(s) is so weak that other people getting married will cause yours to disintegrate, maybe you shouldn't be married in the first place. So just please STFU.

I wish someone would hurry up and invent a time machine so we can ship all these jerks back to the Middle Ages where their beliefs will fit right in.
