More Dean idiocy
Moxie has an interesting post quoting Howard Dean making another monumentally stupid comment related to religion:
On Wednesday Dean said in an interview, "from a religious point of view, if God had thought homosexuality is a sin, he would not have created gay people." ...
By that same theory,
“If God didn’t want to steal from the rich to give to the poor he wouldn’t have created Democrats.”
I'll agree with her that the one thought can lead to the next one she lists or several other equally stupid thoughts. However, there is a logical reason why, from a religious viewpoint, that God can view homosexuality as a sin (which it is, 1 Corinthians 6:8-10 ) and still have homosexuals exist. It's this basic concept known as "free will." Just because we can do a thing doesn't make it right. Besides, Dean's grasp of religion is questionable anyway as has been discussed here at least once before.
Meanwhile, over at The American Mind, Sean Hackbarth, who calls him Howard the Duck, has started The Duck Hunt. I'm hoping to have a few entries to contribute to this Hunt over the next few months.
On a side note on Moxie's post, using music by a man that became a devout christian as "typing inspiration" for a post in which she makes a statement that she's an atheist. Ironic.

Good point about the free will. The Howie D logic is hilarious.
As for the music, well what can I say? Not even the man in black can inspire me to believe ;)
