I had a revelation last night - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

As in a revelation from God. At first I thought it was a dream, and it was. I woke up, tossed and turned a bit, then went downstairs to get a glass of milk.

And as I was standing there in my kitchen, listening to an owl from somewhere in my backyard, I had the dream again. I thought maybe I was really asleep and only dreaming that I was standing in my kitchen drinking a glass of milk.

But, no, I was quite awake. And quite surprised to find God standing right in front of me.

I asked him why he was here.

"CK, I have decided to make you my prophet. I want you to start a new religion."

"A new religion?"

"Well, not a new religion, but a religion with a new focus."

"OK, this is pretty weird, but I'm listening."

"I want you to tell everyone who will listen that conservative religious types should not get married. It displeases me very much."

"Come again, Lord?"

"You heard me. I want to spread the word that it's a sin for conservative religious people to get married. Furthermore, I want you to take political action. I want you to work toward getting a law passed which would actually prevent them from getting married."

"Well, um, God, I know you're, like, omniscient and everything, so you probably know that this is America and we have some religious freedom rights? Even if I were to get enough people to agree with me, it's kind of against our Constitution to impose religious beliefs on other people. I mean, I'm perfectly free to believe that it is wrong for conservative religious people to get married, but there's no way I could get that enacted into law."

At that point, God just me gave a look like I wasn't too bright and maybe he'd picked the wrong guy to be his prophet.

Then he gave me the number of a well-connected lobbyist in Washington to whom he'd appeared the previous night--and vanished.

I was just trying to highlight the absurdity of banning gay marriage in a country that supposedly has religious freedom.

You should send that to NOM or something. Good story, though.
