You can bet that Lazarus was thankful!
I am always amused at the disconnect folks have in their views. For example, last night I was talking to a wingnut friend at our neighborhood watering hole. Knowing that I am an unapologetic liberal, this guy began spewing Rush Limbaugh's words at me about Obama. His central point was that he detested the Federal government and wanted them out of his life and out of healthcare. I asked what he thought of gay rights and gay marriage. After his anti-govt. rant he immediately offered that he did not give a shit what gay people did and it shouldn't be the govt's business. I then told him that I was impressed with his liberal view on this subject and that I hardly suspected the he would support gay marriage. He began to sputter and mumble and then said that he doesn;t believe gay people should be able to get married because the Bible says marriage is between a man and a woman. I then asked him if the Bible should be followed on matters such as this. He said yes, it should. I replied that I felt very sad for him because his wife was going to die. He looked very confused at this point and asked me what in the hell I was talking about. I told him that since his wife and he had met and slept together while she was another man's wife at the time, she had to be stoned to death at the gates of the city. I told him I was sorry, but that's just the way it is - it's all right there in the bible. He started hollering about all kinds of other bullshit and I finally just told him that he should turn off Rush Limbaugh and FAUX news becuase it was rotting his brain. Later, I saw his wife out on the deck of the bar and offered that she should hightail it out of there right away becuase her bible-thumping husband was going to kill her for being a slut. She laughed and whispered to me that she cancels his vote every election and he has no idea.
