Something changed tonight!

OK, I'm man enough to admit it: I, 44 years old male, had tears in my eyes at the end of Barak Obama's acceptance speech. I'm proud to be in America when it happened.
But not everything is rosy: apparently proposition 8 was approved in California.
It is sort of pathetic that three groups that habitually hate each other: right-wing catholics, mormons, and evangelicals joined effort in hating gay population. 'Christians' bathing in hate and promoting hate disguised as 'marriage protection' had their victory. They may start rejoicing the amount of grief they increased in the world. I hope they are proud that millions of dollars that could be spent on feeding the poor or healing sick children were wasted on that demonstration of bigotry.
So, dear catholic bishops, elders in Salt Lake City or evangelical businessmen selling religion in mega-churches: if God exists, you shall burn in hell - together with all those pious churchgoers who ceded God-given ability to think and followed orders instead.
I have learned the lesson: not a single charity associated with those sects will ever see my money again.
Have a good night...
