Presidential candidate and paid paranoid Marco Rubio has joined the irrational chorus of Christian Conservative presidential contenders now peeing their pants in fear at the thought that the Supreme Court may legalize, a.k.a. legitimize, marriage equality in the United States.
In a recent interview with CBN, Rubio echoed Mike Huckabee when he told David Brody that marriage equality represented a threat to the survival of Christianity.
First of all I would say to him the very same thing I said to the Huckster. Christianity is under no threat whatsoever. According to the Association of Religion Data Archives (ARDA) 26,344,933 make up the membership of mainline churches; even more, 39,930,869 make up the membership of evangelical Protestant churches. That’s mainstream Christian. PewResearch also estimates 51 percent of the LGBT community also make up part of this religious population. That means if every atheist/liberal/gay person in the country teamed up against the Christians, we’d still be so outnumbered we’d have our asses kicked in only a matter of days.
So contrary to Rubio’s “belief,” Christianity is under absolutely not threat: at least not from us. The threat is in their heads.
The reality is, Christians in the ilk of Rubio LOVE persecution. They thrive on it. They live to play the martyr. Their entire ideology—not to mention their fund-raising—is built around it. Which, ironically, means that they then create it.
