The only personal responsibility the Republicans appear to be concerned with any more is divine responsibility. In this Davis matter, as well as with objections over contraception and other reproductive services, the GOP appears to be sanctioning the ideal that no one should be held accountable for refusing to live up to their earthy responsibilities only their responsibilities to a 2,000-year-old book and an invisible man in the clouds who may or may not actually exist. As long as the latter is achieved, the former can be waived.

God has nothing, NOTHING, nothing to do with hate. God is love. These sad sacks are on their own

everyone knows that god is a white, patriotic, American. And she doesn't have a long beard.
edited to add this just in case.

(82,383 posts)7. Exactly, what if God told me
he loves gay people and wants them to get married? Why is that any less valid than Kim's opinion? They don't get it about religious freedom. They think it just means them.

Their interpretation of the fairy tale is all hate based.
