Rand Paul calls for ‘tent revivals’ to resolve the ‘moral crisis’ of gay marriage
Source: RawStory
In a video clip carried by the Christian Broadcasting Network, potential 2016 GOP presidential nominee and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul (R) took up what he called the “moral crisis’ afflicting the country, suggesting that the U.S. needs a series of “tent revivals” to get back on the proper path.
In the video, uploaded by Right Wing Watch, Paul dismissed the idea of the federal government’s involvement in the same-sex marriage debate, saying, “Don’t look to Washington to solve anything.”
“The moral crisis we have in our country — there is a role for us trying to figure out things like marriage — there’s also a moral crisis that allows people to think there would be some other sort of marriage, ” he explained. “I think the exhortation to try and change people’s thoughts has to come from the countryside.”
The libertarian lawmaker then took a slightly religious turn, saying “You know, I’ve said this before, we need a revival in the country. We need another great awakening with tent revivals of thousands of people saying, you know,’reform or see what’s going to happen if we don’t reform’.”

Betcha we'll suddenly be hearing loud persistent echoes about pushing religion on people as a solution to our problems - instead of the TeaGOP actually doing anything constructive.
Like they used to do at tent revivals during WWII. And perhaps one of the fire-and-brimstone types could preach "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God", like Jonathan Edwards back in the Colonial days pre-Revolution. I understand ol' Jonathan used to reel in the masses, yearning to be saved from eternal damnation.
That Rand--he's full of great ideas, right? Well, full of something. Just one more reason I'm an ex-fundamentalist evangelical almost-life-long Baptist. As for figuring out marriage--well, I'm one of those who sorta figured it out some 47-plus years ago when I wed an avowed atheist. And guess what? We're still married, Rand. Perhaps you should focus on the "problem" of divorce. Lotta that going around amongst us heterosexual couples. Get all those who've split in a big tent and make 'em "unsplit". Talk about an awakening!
What a buffoon.
