The epitome of religious privilege?



Definitely getting there.

It's just so HARD to be a bigot in today's world! Why doesn't an increasing portion of the U.S. understand religion makes being an asshole OK? I can't help it I worship a homophobic psychopath! If I don't he'll torture me for eternity! Gees, I could use some appreciation here!

They hold what I would consider to be bigoted beliefs based on their religious beliefs and are trying to make the case that they are somehow the oppressed minority.

CatholicVote is an organization with the primary purpose of blocking GLBT marriage rights.

AT any rate, here is a hilarious response to their tear jerking video.
