The hypocrisy is not in holding ideals, the hypocrisy is in preaching 
them to others while not meeting them yourself -- Let he who is without 
sin cast the first stone, and all that...

I am always deeply amused (and saddened) when it is revealed that 
someone who has been a staunch opponent of gay rights, or has condemned 
homosexuals to everlasting damnation, is exposed to have been 
maintaining relations with gay prostitutes.

Yea, God is all loving, believe in god and do as he does and be all 
loving ... except to /those/ people who deserve our hatred and have no 
place in heaven ... yeah, sure, that's it. Idiots.  roflmao
