Thank you Scott!

Not only was your comment regarding Christian hypocrisy, sadism and prejudice, on the mark all the way through...but you also were considerate and responsible enough to include their persecution of gays. Too few progressive heteros still fail to do that, as homophobia is no stranger to the left, either. We may need a global anti-gay holocaust before that will change! AFAIC, this holocaust is well under way, see: "The Globalization of Gay Bashing."

In fact, history books may say this present anti-gay holocaust began when former prez Clinton signed "Don't Ask Don't Tell" in 1993...along with "The Defense of Marriage Act" three years later. Why do I make such a conclusion?

Because, when a major leader of the world from the non-conservative camp (a.k.a. "not Republicans") passes an anti-gay federal law (or two), it sends a powerful message that prejudice against homosexuals is a good thing, and should be the official policy of these united states. Far more powerful, than had these two sanctions been enforced by right-wing factions.

Thus, the impact is far reaching, and empowers other zealous communities around the world, not the least of which are Muslims, Catholics, and
