Ecccchh. All organized religions are the exact same. They all want to put out an aura of morality and goodness, but they are run by humans, who by our very nature are fallible and prone to doing rather immoral and/or selfish things.
The Catholic Church tries to preach that we should love one another, and if two people truly love each other, they should stand before God and consecrate their union...
unless of course, those two people happen to be the same gender. Then it is a sin, an affront to God. What happened to love having no boundaries? In a society where one-half (just about EXACTLY ONE-HALF) of all man-woman marriages end in divorce, you would think we could all be happy that some folks actually want to get hitched for the long haul.
The Pope comes out and denounces the war against Iraq, saying we're fighting for what? Land? Oil? Odd how those four little <s>Crusades</s> wars the Church launched against these same Arab people for wealth are always omitted from Church history.
And don't even get me fukin' started on the Jews.
Did you know that the Jewish Anti-Defamation League is trying to stop Mel Gibson from releasing his movie about Jesus, because it portrays them in a bad light, given that they are the ones who gave Him over to the Romans? Why is it they don't want that little bit of history dredged up, but woe is us if we <i>ever</i> try to forget the Holocaust. As if only Jews were the only ones ever victimized in history.
Shall I even get started on Islam? I think we all know what pretty much went wrong there.
