In the name of God
There are a lot of things that piss me off. Well, I should say that there are a lot of people that piss me off. I don't get mad at weather or dogs or trees, even if they happen to wrong me in some way for the simple reason that they are just doing what they are supposed to be doing and don't know how to do anything else.
People, on the other hand, have a choice. They can choose to be kind and helpful or they can choose to be total assholes. Here is a guy who falls into the latter category:

This is the guy who claims to have turned Microsoft on the gay rights issue. This guy claims to have been the victim of discrimination when he was young.
It is the very soul of hypocrisy to claim to be a victim of discrimination and unreasoning hate yet turn around and practice the same thing on some other group. Just being a hate filled homophobe isn't enough for this guy though, he claims "he has God on his side."
One has to wonder how he knows what side God is on. There is one tiny reference to gay behavior in the Bible. It so happens that this same chapter talks about killing a child who is disrespectful to his parents but we don't talk about that now do we? So, how does this guy and all the people like him know God's will and who's side he is on? Does he have God's cell phone number or email address? Does God drop by for coffee once a week to tell him how it is?
Isn't the heart of all the great cons making claims no one can disprove?
Personally, I believe there is a special corner of Hell reserved for people who do evil in the name of God.
