What the hell? I am about sick of hearing "Christians" say they are persecuted in this country. What? Because some people refer to them as idiots or deluded, is that persecution?

It was the day to recognize the perpetrator, that “enemy of the Gospel” - Jefferson, according to Christian Heritage officials.

We may need to make a fourth country for these people. But I have to thank them for answering the burning question I've had lately of how a person can possibly think same-sex marriage is an abomination and torture is something to regulate. You replace reason and action with faith and crucifixion.

And, oh yeah, Shrek is a gay-subversion movie.
