Video: “Prop 8 – The Musical”

I’m loving this video.  The fact that Jack Black looks exactly like my son notwithstanding, this is a fantastic, tongue-in-cheek commentary on the ridiculousness of trying to leverage the biblical morality argument against gay marriage.

So one day, Jesus is hanging out…

One of the scribes, when he came forward and heard them disputing and saw how well he had answered them, asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?”
Jesus replied, “The first is this: ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone!
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
The scribe said to him, “Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, ‘He is One and there is no other than he.’
And ‘to love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself’ is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
And when Jesus saw that (he) answered with understanding, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to ask him any more questions.

–Mark 12:28-34

So what does this mean?  Jesus is saying that love is the greatest commandment behind loving God.  I hate to remind you this, but God created gays.  Doesn’t matter how much it bother you, or how many pickets signs you carry, the fact remains that God in his/her infinite wisdom decided it was ok by him/her to have gays on the planet.  What’s left for us is to love one another.  That means that gays can love one another, and that means that we should love all people, gay or straight.  People who love don’t deprive their loved ones of happiness.

Anyway, here’s the video:
