A No Vote for Question One in Maine, Is a Vote for Satan!

While Stand For Marriage Maine has been working all summer and fall to disconnect themselves from the rabidly anti-gay Christian Civic League of Maine/Maine Family Policy Council, we have well established that they do however have so many ties to them, that it's a wonder the two organizations can even fart without the other feeling a quiver. So with this being the case, perhaps it's time we stop judging Stand For Marriage Maine on the basis of the overly advised, carefully code worded, disingenuous press releases that they put out. Instead, we need to start listening to what their unabashedly straightforward cousins have to say about the Nov. 3 vote:

“It is a well-known fact that Satan will do everything in his power to tear down the walls of spiritual protection around those who are unaware of his devices. All serious parents are concerned about what the future holds for their children. We must stand up and fight!

The family is made up of one man and one woman who have left father and mother and cleave to one another and become one! That is the biblical definition of marriage. Every serious Christian must defend that definition and also stand up as an advocate, supporter and fan of a traditional home. The importance of voting "yes" on question 1 cannot be over stated.

Maine and America is in trouble. The homosexual life style is being widely accepted even to the point that some churches are voting to accept them in their pulpits. Bi-sexuals, cross dressers, and those who have had sex changes seem to be taking over our society . . . . God's Word calls it an abomination!

The enemy is hurling things at the church at an astonishing pace. As God fearing, Bible believing, Holy Spirit filled believers, we must defend our families from the attack of enemy forces.

Is anybody ready to stand and fight for their family? We have an opportunity on November 3rd to protect marriage and family by voting and encouraging everyone we know to vote “yes” on question one.

Fight the Good Fight [CCL of Maine/MFPC]”

I'm pleading with those people up in Maine to not vote for “yes” on question one to protect the close minded version of marriage, but vote “no” on question one to support equality. Sure, it may piss off some of those locals who have appointed themselves to live their lives on a holy moral pedestal to which the rest of us could only hope to aspire.

But honestly it's not even about us, our right as tax-paying citizens to have civil fairness, the preservation of civil rights in the face of majority tyranny, or the simple need for Maine to do the decent thing. And it's not about partisan politics. No, no -- it's about Satan trying to take over the children. Because if two gays or two lesbians get married we open the gates of hell and Satan comes and takes your children. . . .
