Believe what I believe, or else

Dispatches: In God’s Name has just finished its airing on Channel 4, and holy holy fuck are these people completely mental. The filmmaker, David Modell, has written two editorials in the Independent and Telegraph.
A couple of interesting points:
- A magistrate needed to check with a lawyer to see if his resignation over his own religious beliefs gave him a legal leg to stand on in an employment tribunal (wow, I wouldn’t have wanted to appear before him given his apparent familiarity with the law).
- Anti-abortion activists said nothing about promoting sensible and practical sex education to minimise the need for abortion.
- Christian fundamentalists say we can’t tolerate Islam because it’s intolerant (and they say Americans are the ones with no sense of irony).
- Most unfortunately, the freak who needs to see the word ‘Jesus’ taped to the ceiling above his head to prevent bad thoughts when he wakes up in the morning is getting married, which means he might breed.
Why do people always feel the need to meddle in other people’s personal lives? *sigh*

There's a misconception that society becomes more liberal as time goes on. This couldn't be farther from the truth. It's only going to get worse. As more people are treated equally, we will all be treated equally bad. :)
