I'm not providing a link to his site. Google it if you want, but I'm not giving him the chance to get more website hits. That would only encourage him. His name's Joe Murray and he writes for agapepress.org. I've vented about him before, but now he's being a real asshole.
His latest column expresses outrage that Senator "Man On Dog" signed the sexual orientation non-discrimination statement. (This came out before the Senator then did the chicken-shit thing and recanted it to suck up to his Holy Terror base.)
Like I said, I won't link to it, but here's the pertinent stuff.
GenderPAC, a group that describes its mission as promoting an "understanding of the connection between discrimination based on gender stereotypes and sex, sexual orientation, age, race, and economic status," has been on the prowl for a few years now attempting to tear down the societal barriers established by "gender roles." Translation -- this group seeks to rewrite the laws of nature, tamper with Mother Nature's recipe, and turn biblical gender standards on their heads. It also appears to be a front for the homosexual lobby.
In order to accomplish their mission, GenderPAC has unleashed a number of politically correct weapons from its public relations arsenal; one of them being a "diversity statement" that is to be signed by all the federal lawmakers in Washington, DC.
Since the "project" was conceived, GenderPAC has been roaming the halls of Congress seeking signatures at the bottom of its propaganda pledge. The pledge reads, "[t]he sexual orientation and gender identity and expression of an individual is not a consideration in the hiring, promoting or terminating of an employee in my office." Call it the Coco Peru clause.

But just this past week GenderPAC announced a new member had arrived at their gender-neutral gala, a member who potentially outshines all the other signatories on the list. Who is this bell of the ball? Rick Santorum.
Rick Santorum, the darling of the social conservatives and two-term senator clinging to his job like a shopper to a garment at a blue-light special, has signed the pledge guaranteeing that Ru-Paul's employment application is welcomed at his office; a pledge Arlen Specter has not even signed.

The Buggery Blitzkrieg that started in 2003 came fast and furious. Not unlike the French of World War II, traditionalists were quickly overrun and astonished at the lightening-fast strike that came from the homosexual lobby. From Lawrence v. Texas to Gavin Newsom's weddings by the bay, traditionalists were overwhelmed by the war that was unleashed on them.
Judge Marshall and her Massachusetts' Supremes added cover to the Buggery Blitzkrieg, permitting homosexual groups to go on the offensive, subvert the will of the people by way of the Judiciary, and force traditionalists to fight on the terms the homosexual lobby had established. But every blitzkrieg must meet its Battle of Britain, where its weakness is exposed and its tide reversed.
What was the weakness of the Buggery Blitzkrieg? Despite its fast and furious assault, it could not undo the laws of nature. While it is true that the attack initially leveled the walls protecting the institutions established to foster traditional marriage, such accomplishments began to disappear as quickly as they came.
At this point in American history, the people are not ready to toss out the fundamentals of our society -- at least not yet. The Buggery Blitzkrieg may have overrun society's institutions, but it was unsuccessful in winning society's heart. Thus, it was only a matter of time before the counteroffensive was successful.

Hence, the blitzkrieg having failed, the new strategy embraces a Lifetime lobbying effort; thus bringing us back to Santorum.
I'm bringing attention to this sphincter because he demonstrates exactly how the Holy Terrors work and, worse, how he gives Christianity a bad name.
Demonize the enemy. Make them appear less than human with suggestions they violate the laws of nature. Mock them with stereotypes such as that they're all cross-dressers, drag queens and perverts. Certainly, don't treat them like they're real human beings. Use terms like "Buggery Blitzkreig" to show off one's alliterative skills (and a possible military fetish...in a previous column he referred to the "Sodomy Squadron"), if not one's ability to use Spellcheck. Finally, corrupt the name of a really decent guy by claiming to be one of His followers while spewing forth the worst sort of hateful bile.
I sometimes think there are two Bibles circulating; the Holy Terrors have one version, while mine says something different. In my Bible, Jesus talks about love, tolerance, understanding, and not sitting in judgment. The Jesus of my bible consorted with fallen women, tax collectors, the downtrodden of society, and the unjustly persecuted. He didn't say one damn word against homosexuality, but He had a lot to say against hypocrisy.
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. (Matt. 23:23).
"Judge not that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, let me pull out the mote out of thine eye, and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." (Matt. 7: 1-5).
And my favorite:
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not everyone that saith unto me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matt. 7:15-23).
Call me crazy, but spewing forth vile, hateful stereotypes and sanctimonious judgments while claiming to follow Jesus' teachings smacks of hypocrisy. To me, anyway.
But again, I think I read a different Bible than they do.
