(9/15/09) "Marcotte Introduces Amendment To Ban Divorce" (Huffington Post)

John Marcotte, a writer who runs the site BadMouth.net, is collecting signatures to get the "California Protection of Marriage Act" on the ballot. If passed divorce would be illegal in California.

No, John is not a religious zealot (although he has 12 years of Catholic education), instead he's launched this initiative to mock the proponents of Proposition 8, which added "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California," to the state's constitution. He told CNN this Act is the the "logical extension of Proposition 8."

Marcotte's Website satirizes the traditional marriage campaigns with lines like:

•You said "Til death do us part." You're not dead yet.

•Jesus still loves you if you get divorced -- just not as much as before

•John + Four and Kate + Four = Sin

•Pat Robertson is my homeboy

Divorce is a sin, isn't it?

It should be illegal.

How do I vote?!

I absolutely LOVED this to point out the total HYPOCRISY of those that voted against the proposition.

Yeah, but if you can't divorce, then there goes your murder rate. If you can't divorce your spouse, what you going to do with them when it goes bad?

Yes! The hypocrisy is about to begin. If the religious right can cite the Bible as a source for outlawing marriage equality, then they cannot ignore that the Bible took a firmer stance against divorce.

Let's see if the Mormon church funds this proposal.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::laughing::laughing:

Now, VH, don't confuse me with facts!

(I'm the one who's been happily married for 18 years, remember? :D)

Do what the ACORN worker in San Bernadino did.

O.M.G. this would put all the divorce lawyers out of business

This will teach me never to say "could things get any crazier?"
