More hate speech from the religious right. Infuriating, but the stupidity isn't surprising.

Really, what annoys me is this constant notion that the support of womens' right to choose means that a candidate is in favor of abortion. In most cases the candidate would rather decrease unwanted pregnancies than run around having abortions whenever convenient, but they still think the woman should have the last decision. I have been to a funeral or two myself, but that hardly means I support human death.

Well, although ritual cannibalism isn't my thing... this just shows how f***ed up people are.

Oh my gosh........when did these people forget that God is the only judge?

This is infuriating. How can a priest who is supposed to serve all make that decision. Apparently some priests like to take things into their own hands. Not so sure if God is going to look too kindly on it.

Wow-the whole "putting their souls at risk" part and the "divine law" part
just anger me-but it's typical Christianity, especially Catholicism, in the
middle ages they made people pay to get into heaven. Why the fuck
do you think the Vatican is so rich? They're playing psycological warfare
on people and it's just unfair. I would seriously question a church that
denies me the right to my own opinion, nor the right to control my
body (use of condoms can prevent abortions from being needed, but
oh-wait, that's right, the pope condemns condoms, and has helped to
spread AIDS all over Africa and eventually the world).

Seriously bishop dude, your attitude is like SO 1358 (So what's next-
burning Obama voters at the stake?).
Get with the program.
