Newt Gingrich Compares Gay Marriage to Paganism

[Askold]

That should help...

This is not important but I clicked that just for fun and the first thing that came up was:

The cult of the FSTDT is a cult of agnostics/atheists who call Jesus a liar, yet they have no reason for doing so. What FSTDT really stands for is For Satan The Demonic Teacher.

In spite of the fact that God of the Bible is proven in the 4 Step Perfect Proof, they still remain shutting their minds down.

When I am against something, I at least have some evidence, yet they need none because they operate as a cult.

Anyway... Back on topic. It is clear that he is simply trying to use all the things that voters might fear and combining them, next we will hear him warning folks about commie-nazies. It did seem a bit weird to me for him to use "pagan" for scaremongering. Granted saying that "Them gays want to legalize gay marriage" would be a kinda silly and repetition but why pick pagans? Are atheists no longer scary enough? Is there some new pagan scare media-hype that he is trying to ride?

LOL they know of us.

Also, you know what's neat? Gay 'marriage' may be in Paganism but not all Pagans are involved in gay marriage.

The only thing really similar is that both should be allowed to be 'practiced' without being afraid of harm.

Newt likes the Biblical definition of marriage: one man...many women.

[rosenewock21]

Which part of biblical marriage would Gingrich like us to focus on?

[shadowpanther]

 'Gay marriage is like paganism.' So completely legal in civilised countries and only attacked by bigots who don't know the first thing about it? Man's talking sense for once.

*Looks again*

Ah. Oh dear.

[anti-nonsense]

Someone whose name sounds like a traditional ingredient in a witches' brew has every reason to be concerned about the rise in paganism.

This = win.

and in response to the original subject, shut up Newt.

[TheL]

The effort to create alternatives to marriage between a man and a woman are perfectly natural pagan behaviors, but they are a fundamental violation of our civilization.

Alternatives?  You mean like having a lengthy affair before divorcing your wife to marry your mistress?  Or does that only count if you do it more than twice?

[Sigmaleph]

Newt, keep your holy book out of politics.

It has no place there.  No holy book has any place there.

Idea:
1. Start new religion based on any random principle.
2. Get enough adherents to become officially recognised.
3. Declare the Constitution of the United States as our Holy Book.
4. America legal system becomes fundamentally inconsistent, explodes in paradox.
5. ???
6. Profit!

[Barbarella]

Well....HURRAY FOR PAGANISM, BABY!!!

[Captain Jack Harkness]

So I wonder what he things of gay pagans.

Is that twice the sin?

No.  It is sin squared. 
Sins are exponential, you know.

Am I the only one who clicked the article link and thought "Oh my god, what's wrong with that woman?!"

Holy Fuck!



She looks worse than Bachmann!

Paganism harms no-one.

I must disagree.

I feel that all sorts of blind belief have an inherent danger to them.

You mean like jumping to the conclusion that paganism requires blind belief?

This man has clearly never come across an atheist Pagan or agnostic Pagan before.
