Oh, wow, I feel your pain and outrage. Aside from not having an uncle who's a pastor, I could've written that rant. I ended up walking away from the church I was raised in when the hypocrisy got too intense for me to stomach, and no one else seemed to even notice it, much less be upset by it. It really soured me on organized religion as a whole.

It is really, extremely easy and then you have your cloak of righteousness and it allows you to believe things like people with AIDS are being punished by God.

You know, those people never seem to have an answer when I ask them why it is, then, that lesbians have the lowest incidence of HIV contraction/AIDS. Shouldn't that mean they're the chosen people, or something?
