Christian's Video Meltdown Rant Over teh Gay Marriage [View all]




While apparently cleaning her home on Friday, Becky Wegner Rommel took a break to share with her Facebook friends a few thoughts about the Supreme Court's ruling on marriage. She recorded and posted this four-and-a-half minute video during which she seems to be having a meltdown over the decision.

"This is a really sad day for me," Rommel says. "Our government decided that everything that God created his church to be — as man as woman — Adam and Eve — five justices decided that God was wrong!"

And that's when it goes downhill.

"And now. Now is the time that Christians have a voice," she says, as if they didn't before, or won't again?

"God did not change! His word is truth!" Rommel continues, crying. "And God says that marriage is between a man and a woman! I don’t care if you think I'm judging you. The fact is, the God of the universe, He is the truth," she charges. "Jesus Christ, not Mohammad, OK?!"

"It’s just, like, these Islamic extremlists — extremists — OK? They’re not just extremists. They’re ISLAAAAMIC! President Obama. ISLAAAAMIC! Ext — Extremlist!"

...

UPDATE:
I feel the need to mention that Rommel is probably someone's mother and spouse, someone's daughter, someone's neighbor and friend. Of course, she's entitled to her beliefs and how she expresses them. But there are many more Americans who are equally misinformed – about gay people, marriage, religion, history, and the law. And that, to me, is the real tragedy.

UPDATE II: 07.02.15 –
Apparently, Rommel pulled her video off Facebook, but we've added one posted to YouTube.
