We gotta Storm named Rhonda

In response to an editorial in The Tamp trib about some county comissioner over there named Rhonda who thinks its OK to keep our head in the sand and not recognize gay people, I wrote the following:

Ahh, Rhonda Storms. She can't help herself, poor dear.
She is just parroting back what some Christian extremist organization has brainwashed into her head.
That's right. I've heard about "Muslim extremists" for months now.
I believe its time we start correctly identifying the fringe faction of the religious right and they are called "Christian extremists".
You know, the people who want to tell you how to live your life and raise your kids, even though they have messed up their own.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that most Christians
embrace Jesus's ideas of peace and love to everyone.
And that most Christians can get along with the idea that some people love people of the same gender. And as long as gay people don't have sex in the streets and scare the horses, most Christians don't care what gay people do.
See I belive that most people (including gay ones) just want to be able to have a job, have a safe place to live and pretty much be left alone. Its just these Christian extremists who won't be happy until we are all partnered up with a certain gender and lockstepping our way into the Sunday service.
Here's a thought. How about loving everyone and letting them live in peace. Embrace a little diversity, even Jesus hung out with a rough crowd now and then. Oh yeah, and Rhonda, here's a little "What Would Jesus Do?" right back at ya!

Hey Jules,

Christians aren't perfect...

They just want you to be.
