A new natural law
I think, given the depredations of mssrs. Foley, Haggard, Swaggart, Reed, Falwell, Robertson, et al., we can carve this new law of the cosmos in stone alongside Newton's laws of motion, Special Relativity and the one about "the odds of the bread falling butter side down are directly proportional to the cost of the carpet":
The volume with which a person proclaims his or her fabulous piety while denouncing others for failing to meet his or her standards of virtue and holiness is directly proportional to the likelihood that he or she is a child-buggering, cash-stealing, graft-grabbing, meth-snorting hypocrite who belongs in prison, where he can be anally introduced to Bubba the weightlifter.
In my experience, people of true faith and virtue shut the fuck up about it, do good works and try to lead others by example, not ego-driven proclamations of goodness. The Christian Right in this country is a paper-thin veneer of packaged holier-than-thou bullshit covering a festering seepage pit of repressed homosexuality, familial abuse, drug addiction, greed and lust for power.
PATHETIC.
