		<description>There is no way I&#039;d describe Hartline as &quot;good.&quot; 

He&#039;s also blamed the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake on gay people during a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.miketidmus.com/blog/2008/11/24/hartline-god-speaks-to-me/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;recent radio interview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

Words like &quot;deranged&quot; and &quot;demented&quot; come to mind, not &quot;good.&quot;

I do appreciate your support of marriage equality.</description>

		<description>It is sad to me that some of my Christian brethren, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fairandunbalanced.com/?http://www.testimoanials.com/blog/blog1.php/2008/11/23/god-the-arsonist-punishes-gay-support/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;including the good reverend James Hartline&lt;/a&gt;, see our faith as an opportunity to cast the cold eye of judgment on others

Gay marriage should not be allowed. Rather, it should be encouraged.</description>

		<description>&gt;&gt;&gt;I do NOT blame the man who took her bible and hit her over the head with it; what her religion has done to my own life is far, far worse than her little bump on the head.

Yes. The Bible tells us not to judge, so we shouldn&#039;t judge our brother for whacking the rhymes-with-rich, as Joan Collins once put it, up the side of her head. But it&#039;s in our best interest to remain non-violent.

And, I&#039;m still having a shrimp cocktail with my martini at six. It might be an abomination, but it&#039;s a delicious abomination.</description>

		<description>Another tactic I like to use;

Surround them, hold hands, and sing &quot;YES, JESUS LOVES ME&quot;.  LOUDLY.   

Where is our guerilla musical theater?   We have the talent and creativity to counter-protest in AMAZING ways....plus we&#039;d be pretty freakin&#039; entertaining.</description>

		<description>I almost puked last night.  I&#039;ve been watching more FOX News and Bill-o, just to &quot;keep my enemies closer&quot;.

Yesterday Bill-o has a nice, sweet, &quot;innocent&quot; young woman describe the &quot;pain&quot; she experienced while using her religion to harass and persecute gays.  YES - if YOUR religion represents ANTI-GAY tenets, YOUR RELIGION is a threat.

Her final words?   She just wished we knew that she &quot;loved us&quot; and we should not think she is trying to hurt us in any way.  [I can&#039;t paraphrase well....I&#039;m still livid]

I do NOT blam ethe man who took her bible and hit her over the head with it; what her religion has done to my own life is far, far worse than her little bump on the head.</description>
