drugs vs. sex
I love it. So buying meth - a plainly illegal act - was apparently only grounds for the pastor's suspension from his church, but having sex with another man, which is not even technically illegal anymore after the U.S. Supreme Court's 2003 decision, results in dismissal.
This tells us a lot about the religious right. There's nothing - absolutely nothing - worse than homosex. As Gore Vidal wrote a long time ago, "Morality in America is sex, sex, SEX."
I've gotten to the point that I simply cannot stomach these people anymore. I'm a native Southerner, so I got used to these people at an early age. But I also used to believe, rather naively I guess, that in the fullness of time they would GROW UP and join the adult world. We're all one country and all want what's best, blah, blah, blah.
But with their continued defense of an clearly criminal regime and their clear abandonment of any humane values in favor of the quest for more and more power, I'm now practically ready for another civil war. Anything to be rid of these dangerous idiots.
I wish the Christofascists would all volunteer for duty in Iraq (not that these chickenhawks would ever devote themselves to anything but their own self interest) so that they and their like-minded cousins, Islamic fundamentalists, could kill each other and leave the rest of us alone.
