Its called selective piety, and there's more of it in this country these days than there is good top soil.
Just take a look at these bishops calling anyone who votes for Kerry a sinner. They're cut from the same cloth as the mullahs. If I had a brick for every Catholic who has a hard on for the death penalty, but vehemently professes to oppose abortion, I could build a wall from here to Seattle. These "moral" people aren't moral at all - they're picking and choosing the morals that suit their little views of how they think society should operate. They'd have a 16 year old kid jailed for getting an abortion, or deny stem cell research, but they have no problem executing people. I don't know Jesus, but from what I've read, the first thing I think he'd deal with were he to return to Earth would be the death penalty. Oh, and I think he was against wars, contrary to the Catholic Church's horseshit policy that there can be "just wars" (Sorry, Padre, Jesus said 'turn the other cheek' at ALL times). Call me crazy... thats just how I read his views. Don't agree? Read the book. Its all in there.
All these fucking people, every last one of them, has a huge mouthful of shit about how much they oppose stem cells or abortion, but as sure as the sun rising tomorrow, every last one of these motherfuckers will do exactly the opposite when its his daughter who's knocked up or his father who has Alzheimer's. At least some of us are honest.
