Quoting again Now I just had to quote what the lovely lady at Beck-a-Blog said, because it's so true of what I keep reading on a lot of other (American Rightwing Christian) blogs and sites - I keep wanting to post comments and rant at them, but even people who have written calm intelligent comments get short shrift from the idot-bigots. It is also true of people I've come across in the UK, unfortunately. But don't let that get you down! Read Becky's pithy observation instead:

"People use Jesus as an excuse. They’re fat and they don’t do anything about it because, “Jesus loves them anyway”. They’re not good at talking to people, so they talk to God. They hate people and blame it on Jesus. “I hate gays because of Jesus,” they seem to be thinking. No, you hate gays because you’re an ass."  ¶ 21:07
