So marriage equality passing through the supreme court is on the same level as someone dying? I just... I have no words. I'll be staying far away from that county, that's for sure.

It's just plain offensive, that's what it is. Way to show your bigotry, Dent County.

They get so flustered when I ask how come it's OK for straight couples to cohabitate, and where in the bible does it give an age when one no longer has to save oneself for marriage.

From the Dalai Lama. Worth consideration whilst busy out hating on enemies:

Friends and enemies
I must emphasize again that merely thinking that compassion and reason and patience are good will not be enough to develop them. We must wait for difficulties to arise and then attempt to practice them.

And who creates such opportunities? Not our friends, of course, but our enemies. They are the ones who give us the most trouble, So if we truly wish to learn, we should consider enemies to be our best teacher!

For a person who cherishes compassion and love, the practice of tolerance is essential, and for that, an enemy is indispensable. So we should feel grateful to our enemies, for it is they who can best help us develop a tranquil mind! Also, it is often the case in both personal and public life, that with a change in circumstances, enemies become friends.

So anger and hatred are always harmful, and unless we train our minds and work to reduce their negative force, they will continue to disturb us and disrupt our attempts to develop a calm mind. Anger and hatred are our real enemies. These are the forces we most need to confront and defeat, not the temporary enemies who appear intermittently throughout life.

The comments from locals are hilarious/scary. It's such an odd area. There's a local advertising circular that comes in the mail, and the most recent one included someone's ad which read at the bottom "God first, family second, career third."
Nice in principle, I guess, but where I come from you just wouldn't put that in an ad for your business.

Just start wearing Victorian mourning clothes, cover your face with a black veil and start your wailing. Get on with it. Go full idiot.

^^^ Burqa prep! At least a lot of locals ARE speaking out against this stupidity. It's a debate of "the bible is the real law" vs. "this is America".

I hope that common sense wins in that one. Besides, I don't think that the bible says anything about committing acts of great stupidity in the name of Jeebus.
