Get a Life!

I don’t pay attention to World Net Daily, mostly because the people who write for it are religious scumbags who wouldn’t hesitate to transform the world into a Christian Theocracy.
Now they are outraged at Hasbro’s online version of “The Game of Life” which allows same sex marriages. It was too much for one woman to bear, apparently:
“You know how kids are,” the mother told WND. “My daughter noticed right away (even before I did) and clicked on one of the girls instead of one of the men and then asked, ‘Mom, how come I can marry a woman?’ And then that led into a lot more questions that, quite frankly, I was not ready to talk to my 6-year-old about.”
Yes, it must be so hard to tell your daughter that people marry each other because they want to commit their lives to one another. On the other hand, telling your child that gay people burn in hellfire for all eternity is a tough conversation, since they start asking ridiculous questions like “why would god punish people for being the way they are”, or “why can’t he love everybody?”
I don’t envy her job! Trying to tell a kid that your sky God is a vengeful, cruel despot is not something you want to have to do until they experience the sin of masturbation. Then it’s a lot easier to scare them enough so that they stop asking questions that you aren’t theologically equipped to answer.
Of course, there’s always the other option of just accepting that life isn’t your Bronze Age bullshit and shutting the fuck up. Just a thought.
Spread the outrage

I thought World Net Daily was a british satire magazine, like America’s “the Onion”. I’ve never taken anything they say seriously.

Hilarious. I especially like this quote:
“The board game did not prevent players in any way from placing two pink or two blue pegs in the front seat, thus depicting a homosexual couple.”
But I think the woman is lying, if she even exists and is not just a WND fabrication.
More likely the kid didn’t ask any question at all, just happily married the women and kept on playing.

I think playing a board game on a computer like that is wrong in itself. Why not buy the board game itself and just have a massive hetero- / gay / lesbian or whatever orgy by putting all the adult pegs in a pile.
