Carrie Gordon Earll seems to think so.

The policy analyst for the conservative Christian ministry Focus on the Family said “Just because you can conceive a child outside a one-woman, one-man marriage doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.”

Alright, I have to admit that she wasn’t talking about that Mary. She was actually talking about Mary Cheney. But the mentality is disturbingly similar to some of the attitudes behind Mosaic law at the dawn of year one (or year zero, for you accuracy nuts).

I’ve never understood all of the fuss over the homos. The Gay Agenda that the religious right wants us all to be so afraid of was totally made up by them.

Furthermore, the idea that marriage needs to be protected from gay couples – not so unlike similar laws that restricted black marriage – is ridiculous.

But most heinous of all is the idea that children are better off with no parents than with gay ones. How tragically absurd.

If this is where Christianity takes us as a society, then maybe Carrie Gordon Earll was onto something. Maybe just because the baby Jesus was conceived outside of a one-woman, one-man marriage, that doesn’t mean it was a good idea.

Prove her wrong. Please. For Christ’s sake.
