Sodom and Gomorrah, Nebraska Style
Are you f***ing kidding me? Some religious idiot in my state wrote a seven page petition to the court asking them to declare homosexuality a sin, and make her the spokesperson for God and his son, Jesus Christ. She says (bad spelling, improper syntax, wrong initial capitalization, and incorrect grammar use in the quote below are all hers):
Never before has our great Nation the United State of America and our great State of Nebraska's been besiege by sin;
The way to destroy any Nation, or State is to destroy its morals, Look what happen to Sodom and Gomorrah two city because of the same immoral behavior thats present in our Nation, in Our States, and our Cities, God destroy them.
If God could have found ten righteous people among them he would have spared them.
I'm sixty six years old, an I never thought, that I would see the day in which our Great Nation or our Great State of Nebraska would become so compliant to the complicity of some peoples lewd behavior.
First of all, this 66-year-old woman hand-wrote the seven page petition to the court on lined notebook paper (three hole punched, no less, she really splurged) in a cursive style that a fourth-grader would have been ashamed to turn in. Is there no electricity down in Auburn, Nebraska, that she can't use a computer, or at least a manual typewriter? Or because there were no computers in the bible, or electricity, or manual typewriters, does she not use these amenities?
I picture her writing by candlelight while sitting on a camp stool in a subterranean survival bunker, where she and her son have barricaded themselves in, to protect them from the hordes of gay people she seems to think are overrunning Auburn, and the rest of the state.
Second, God has apparently visited her in that bunker and discussed the sin situation in Auburn and Nebraska. Why isn't God giving interviews about this on Fox or NPR, where he'd get much more media coverage?
Third, the Sodom and Gomorrah reference just won't hold water. We're all still here, so God must have found ten or more righteous people and decided to give us a break for once.
Lastly, I'm almost 60 "an I never thought that I would see the day in which our Great Nation or our Great State of Nebraska" would have a resident petition the courts to be named the spokesperson of God and Jesus Christ. The nerve!

He can speak for himself. 
Great post, Marta!
and insert it into the Revised New Testament.
Marta.
....at the checkout of Walmart.
"The nerve," indeed. Love your post!
This too shall pass. Just not fast enough. Take care. 
Great to "see" you here. Quite a few of us at DU are huge fans of both you and Steve. More than a few, actually, so do hurry back. You're a fine writer, too!
To write such a petition, the poor woman must have been brain-washed for years by right-wing bible-thumpers and Fux Spews...actually, I am very sorry that she never got to lead a healthy, wholesome life...
all the free-thinking literate sinners and others with 3 digit IQs in Nebraska, and most of them will vote for theocracy on election day. 
As someone famous.
Ok, ok, she's famous for being a flaming idiot, but still.....the celebrity vibes are worth it. Right?
All the best to you and Steve! 
So good to see you again, Marta. Glad you are still writing~
I so loved this one. Thanks for letting me post it in full, better impact.
