Borrowed from ajslj:

In 1787, the majority of people in this country thought African Americans were worth only three fifths of a human being. In 1887, the majority of people in this country thought Interracial Marriage was an abomination. In 2008, the majority of Californians thought marriage should only be between a man and a woman. Just because the majority of people in this country agree with you doesn't mean that you are right, it just means that a lot of people are wrong.

The Mormon and catholic churches were both involved in that fight and they both had every right to be.

So what exactly does separation of church and state mean to you? Individuals are allowed to contribute their funds as they see fit, entire religious organizations are prohibited from involvement in legislation. This particular one was a California matter that should have only involved us Californians, not money being poured in from religious groups in other states.

Ummm.. No, there was no law against it, therefore they had every right to be there. The churches themselves did not get involved in the electoral process, they just spent money on ads, and people. This is something political parties do all the time, despite the fact that they are private entities. Private entities have the right to spend money on whatever they choose, as long as they aren't doing anything illegal. You don't like the fact that the Catholic and LDS church's can spend money in your state on ad campaign's, get the laws changed. But while you are at it, make sure that the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention are also banned from spending money there too. After all, these are all private entities.

Well, I admit I don't like how campaigns are run in this country, period; it seems to boil down to whoever has the most money and can brainwash the most people with their ads wins. Because as you pointed out, most of the population are idiots.

Ahh, something else to agree on.
