Considering that my father is planning to vote yes on the Wisconsin gay marriage ban amendment, and considering that Catherine and Doug are even more likely to do so -- vehemently -- I thought I'd post this. Thanks to David Kuo for mentioning it on Real Time:
Once you have made the World an end, and faith a means, you have almost won your man, and it makes very little difference what kind of worldly end he is pursuing. Provided that meetings, pamphlets, policies, movements, causes, and crusades, matter more to him than prayers and sacraments and charity, he is ours -- and the more 'religious' (on those terms) the more securely ours.
-- C. S. Lewis, writing in the character of Screwtape.
How wonderful it is to see people gleefully hacking away at the very structures of law that are there to protect them. The only thing more enjoyable is to see a dog ripping out its own intestines, or a young child beaten to death with a spiked baseball bat.
Ol' Splitfoot must be laughing himself into a coma.
