Senate Dems should introduce bill to fund churches to Pray Away Gay
Since the extreme RW of the republican party is going to make it ILLEGAL in the U.S. for gays to marry, regardless of the fact that the U.S. constitution allows those decisions to remain with the states, then surely funding must be approved to 'convert' all those whose lives are affected by this amendment.

Since there are estimated to be 40 million or so homosexuals in the U.S. who will permanently be deprived of the right to marry, I think we should allow for about $20,000 per person affected to 'convert' them into straight people. I understand that this is a difficult and arduous process, but I think $20,000 would be a good number to start with.

I think about $800 Billion would do it, unless I missed a zero somewhere.

How could the churches refuse $800 Billion? How could the RW refuse to 'fix' all those 'messed up' people?

Poison pill?

:evilgrin:

1. Why
i could start an "ex-gay" ministry (wink wink) so I could get all that money. Then I could convert all those people (wink wink) who would probably get a lot of benefits out of the gov't money (wink wink).

Anyone want to sign up for their $20,000 dollars? :D

2. If we could get the bill to cover
praying away adultery, we'd need to add about 20 trillion more bucks to the bill.

:hi:

4. I'd like to know when the United States Congress
is going to ask the fundies to pray away the pedophilia. . . .oops. I almost forgot. That would affect too many Republican fundies.
