Douchebag Hypocrites Part Deux.
(cont. from Our Lady of the Screaming Hypocrisy)
Equally Fucked Up is Robert Novak, the right-wing commentator who published Valerie Plame's identity as a covert CIA agent, but never went to jail for it. Meanwhile Judith Miller, a reporter who never wrote about Plame, did.
Novak was born to a Jewish family and then converted to Catholocism. Now, changing religions is not akin to suppressing one's sexuality. Sexuality is an inborn characteristic. Just ask Michael Jackson, the closeted black gay man who voluntarily faded to white, and who deserves a minority goon column devoted to him alone.
But a religion is a philosophy. A person born in a Hindu family has every right to decide that Buddhism is more his cup of tea. But Novak did not convert because of religious conviction; he converted because he suffered from internalized anti-Semitism. And he has been acting out on that internalized anti-Semitism, in print and on the airwaves, as surely as The Reverend Doctor worked hard to prevent gay people from being granted their civil rights.
The problem overall is that for every minority goon exposed, there are thousands more unexposed, continuing to work hard against their own kind.
I don't just know this from hearsay; I know it from experience. When I first came to the United States, I had to do some field research to get my company started. As part of that field research, I laid myself down, in the biblical sense, with many a man of the cloth. One of my tricks, actually, is (now and then) a leading figure in the Roman Catholic Church in New Jersey. He wasn't such a bad guy at heart, and I now give him the lovely nickname, Our Lady Of The Screaming Hypocrisy.

Hey, wait...I live in New Jersey. Uh oh!!!!
Just kidding. It wasn't me...I wish it were, but it wasn't. I'm not a leading figure in anything, let alone the catholic church. Priest or not, I would have hired you.
Makes me laugh though. That Nazi Darth Vader Pope the Vatican chose is very anti-gay. Has he met any of his employees? Or for that matter, read his employee hand book (the bible for those of you not catching on)? If you want to get into the technicalities of the hypocrisy of the church, we can be here for hours.
For instance:
According to the bible, God is infallible, which means he makes no mistakes. According to the bible, God also "hates fags". Well, if God created everyone in his own image and he makes no mistakes, then we are here because it was his intention and we are just as loved as everyone else. If not, then he's not really all that infallible, is he/she? But lets look at thier offical arguement based on the Bible...
Leviticus 20:23:
"If a man lies with a man as those who lie with woman, both of them shall have committed as abomination and shall be put to death."
First, this does not refer to homosexuality. The catholic extremist who fling this at us all the time should read the entire set of verses. It refers to heterosexuals who took part in the baal fertility rituals. Furthermore, the term abomination was used to refer to things of an un-religious nature, unclean, and associated with idol worship.
Secondly, it really become hypocritical, quite selective to suite their agenda, with this:
The laws of Leviticus 11:1-12 state that all unclean animals are forbidden as food, and to indulge in them is, as well, an abomination. This includes rabbits, pigs (anyone had ham to celebrate Easter?), oysters, lobsters, crabs, clams, and shrimp.
Leviticus 12:1-8 states that a woman is unclean for 33 day after giving birth to a boy and 66 for a girl, and demands certain animals must be offered as a burnt offering.
Leviticus 19:19 forbids the wearing of any garment made from two kinds of material.
Leviticus 19:27 - "You shall not round off the side-growth of your hair, nor harm the edges of your beard." (this one also forbids tattoo marks.
Now I am sure as I am gay, I am willing to be my Lucas Entertainment DVD collection, that at least one or more of the God fearing has committed at least 80% of these "abominations", according to the laws of Leviticus, this week alone. I guess that means they'll be sitting next to us on the way bus ride to hell. Its funny how they only really note the "man lies with man" part, isn't it? Self preservation and vanitity can be a weird thing. Oh wait...that's another sin of theirs. At least now you have something to throw back at them that groups them in with us. That should make them choke on their own bullshit.
In Romans: 1:26-27, Paul says that men with men will receive their own persons in error. Paul also referred to a lot of the use of sex between men as wrong in regards to the way married men used male slave and such for random sexual relief in that time.
Later, in the same book:
Peter 3:16-18 pointed out we have to be on guard against using Paul's writings.
Two passages from Greek translation state that homosexuals and the effeminate will not inherit the realm of God. The Greek word "homosexual" translated does not mean homosexual and "effeminate" does not mean effeminate. Its interesting how those are the only two not translated properly by modern theologysts. I would also like to add that fornicators, adulterers, thieves, the covetous, drunkards, revilers, or swindlers shall inherit the realm of God either.
So to all you bible thumping, holier than thou activists....bring it. In the words of the book you hold so quickly against us, "Just not, lest thee be judged." And from the looks of things, and not just the ones that work for you, you're just as bad as me.
As for you Michael....here's one that'll kill them. You're jewish, which means you don't eat pork or selfish. That makes you better than them in Gods eyes.
Hallelujah!!!
