Protecting Marriage from Married People in California
If outlawing divorce was good enough for the Babylonians, then it's good enough for California…
This video comes from some smartypants called RescueMarriage.org who think their pants are so smart that they introduced the 2010 California Marriage Protection Act — which not-completely-genuinely aims to protect marriage from the evils of divorce — in response to last year's Proposition 8 — which genuinely genuinely genuinely aimed to protect marriage from the evils of marriage.
And it looks like they'll be assembling next month…
On November 14, 2009, thousands of Californians will be united in a common cause as we march on the state capitol building to demand a return to traditional values as part of our petition kick-off event.
Participate in democracy the American way, by shouting angrily, using inflammatory rhetoric and memorizing jingoistic slogans to chant or misspell on signs.
I'm curious to see what their protest march looks like. No way that those people will be funnier than these people.

Jesus strongly condemned divorce, but said nothing of homosexuality; the thinking Christian must conclude that the institution of marriage is at greater risk from the former than the latter. Just think–no divorce, no alimony! It's a win-win.
This initiative speaks to those rational supporters of Prop 8 and challenges them to apply the same arguments to the institution of divorce. People that really are discriminatory towards homosexuals will oppose, but those that were swayed by the language of Proposition 8 may consider the hypocrisy. If these people switch sides as a result, the ban on gay marriage can be repealed!
"Marriage should be eternal… just like Hell." This is the only true way to preserve marriage.
It is too funny! Prop 8 was not against gay rights, It was just protecting marriage. So let's take it a step further and stop divorce
I support this idea 100%! I think it's obvious from the turn out of God fearing Christians at our last ballots that we have a good chance to pass this. If all those people who voted to protect marriage the last time will show up to show their support once more, we have an excellent chance of doing Gods work in 2010. My eternal husband and I are with you!
By your own admission marriage is a religious institution and should not be endorsed or controlled by the government. Remove the tax benefits and lets see who cares one way or the other. Why is it so important to force your religion on others, could it be that it is failing miserably and the majority of people are not really interested? If it is so important, move to a "christian country'….oh, wait, THERE AREN'T ANY…they failed because they persecuted all the intelligent people.
I believe this is a great idea. If your truly trying to protect the sanctity of Marriage then outlaw divorce. When almost fifty percent of those who get married end up in divorce something must be done right? So show us that Prop 8 was not just a hate proposition. Let us see how much you really care about marriage.
I guess you haven't read the Bible. Oh yes it does talk about homosexuality. Check out te book ofRomans . God doesn't hate gays, just there practice. Among other sins it also talks against gossips, abortion, cheaters and thiefs.
I really thought it was a serious site at first! Great satire.
Marriage was created by God! Man has no right to redefine what God created, as anything else. Divorce was and is the result of mans free will to sin, and disobey God,, God defined marriage to be between a male and a female. In the beginning God created them male and female. Jesus said the same thing in Matt. 19:4 defining marriage to be a man and a woman. Part of God's definition of marriage, is for the man and woman to pro-create, of which the same sex couple can not do. The argument to protect marriage, you have to do away with divorce, is missing the point! Divorce does not define marriage, divorce is an indictment against the willful disobedience of man, in light of knowing that God hates divorce Mal. 2:16 John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. God has made His will known through His word 1 JOhn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1 John 1:10 f we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
