Carrie Underwood Faces Right-Wing Backlash Over Remarks Supporting Marriage Equality

Earlier this month, Carrie Underwood expressed her support for marriage equality in an interview with the UK's Independent, noting that noted that her church is gay-friendly and it isn't her job to judge people:

"As a married person myself, I don't know what it's like to be told I can't marry somebody I love, and want to marry," she said. "I can't imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love."

And this morning, a lashing from World Net Daily's Joseph Farah:

Carrie Underwood suggests God did not set rules. Yes, He did. The Ten Commandments are not suggestions. They represent the difference between life and death.

4. Ten Commandments?

IIRC that defines adultery as intimate relations in thought or dead, with more than one individual for all eternity? Boy Hell is going to be full of Christians then.

Don't they mean 15?

8. Not sure if he's still alive, but he is/was a comedic genius.

Never took himself or religion too seriously.

9. He's still alive. He does voices for one of the Disney cartoons.

I met him in the Eastern Airlines Ionosphere Club.

I was sitting at a table with my cousin, and he came over to us and asked, "Is anyone using this chair?"

I sat there with my mouth open, and said, "No," hoping he was going to just sit down with us and carry on a conversation. Instead, he said, "Thank you," gave me a friendly wink, and took the chair back to the table where his entourage was.
