You know I don't give a flying fugg if other RWnuts follow the French historian

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/may/21/french-historian-kills-himself-notre-dame-gay-marriage
<snip>

A far-right French historian has killed himself at the altar of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris after declaring that more radical action was needed in opposition to same-sex marriage in France.

Dominique Venner, 78, walked into the building at 4pm and put a letter on the altar before shooting himself through the mouth, according to local media reports. Hundreds of visitors were immediately evacuated from the site, which is the most visited Catholic monument in Paris.

Venner, a historian and former member of the Secret Army Organisation that opposed Algerian independence in the early 1960s and waged a terror campaign against Charles de Gaulle's government, had written on his blog on Tuesday about his anger over the recent legalisation of same-sex marriage, which he called vile.

He also wrote of what he described as the risk of "a France fallen to the power of Islamists", saying that for 40 years all governments and parties, except the Front National, businesses and the church had accelerated north African immigration. He added that there needed to be "new gestures, spectacular and symbolic" to "reawaken the memory of our origins". He added: "We're entering a time where words should be authenticated by actions."

by saying in so many words: "Gay marriage legal? Don't worry about it! In 15 years the French government will be under majority muslim control and the law will be instantly repealed as Islamic law gets installed!"

Religious, the greater their mental illness. Right wingers need help.

and thereby condemns himself to roast for all eternity in the Scalding Flames of Hell, all because people are loving each other?

How whacked is that?

It'd be poetic justice to protest his funeral!
