Chick. . .

. . . bull?

"I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage'" says Chick-Fil-A's Dan Cathy.

First, what God and what judgement are we talking about here? Second, where or in what direction would a fool shake his fist in order to express this silly sentiment? Third, this imaginary being to whom he is expressing this anger actually holds an opinion about what the word 'marriage' represents which holds WHAT relevance?

It's only a matter of time before opinions like Cathy's will be totally irrelevant, part of a tiny minority, no longer newsworthy, and dismissable as those of a mere crank.
