The Bible Proves God Hates People

phelps100.jpg - 22.91 K The fact is that God hates people -- not disembodied sins…these words are found in the Bible:

"When Rebecca also had conceived for the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth. It was said unto her, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated." (Rom. 9:10-13.)

These words are plain. God hated Esau -- the person -- before Esau had been born to have done any sin.

Vatican-Ordered 'Holy Year' Clean-Up-Blues in Rome

However successful Church pressure may be in some areas, there is one planned millennium event that will turn Rome into a "city of transgression". World Gay Pride 2000, billed as the "biggest gay and lesbian rally ever" is expected to attract up to a million visitors from around the world for events such as drag soccer matches, transvestite fashion parades and concerts by gay orchestras and rock musicians. The fortnight, coinciding with the feast of saints Peter and Paul, will culminate in a huge parade through central Rome on 8 July.

A Right Wing Politician's Lengthy 'Brief Encounter'

Lord Tebbit says he had given his support to Mr Portillo's attempt to return to the Commons "in the belief that he had no more than a brief encounter when little more than a schoolboy, which I am told is not that uncommon", but "we now know his deviance continued for almost a decade". mportillo.jpg - 6.47 K Michael Portillo

Be Careful what You Wish For

A guy found a magic lamp and rubbed it. The genie popped out and said, "I'll grant you any wish you want."

The guy thought and thought and finally gave his answer: "I want to be hard all the time and get all the ass I want."

"As you wish," the genie replied. So the genie turned him into a toilet seat.

Andrew Sullivan's Friends are Only Haters on Paper

asullivan2.jpg - 4.68 K He reminds me of conservative friends who oppose almost every measure for homosexual equality yet genuinely delight in the company of their gay friends. It would be easier for me to think of them as haters, and on paper, perhaps, there is a good case that they are. But in real life, I know they are not. Some of them clearly harbor no real malice toward me or other homosexuals whatsoever.

Andrew Sullivan Has Anti-Hate-Crime-Law Cronies

They disguise this law as hate crime prevention.

All of their talk, all of their crying, all of their arguments are nothing more than a smoke screen to cover for them, while they weasel their way into our society as normal people.

They are not normal people. Romans, chapter 1, says they are reprobate people. They are not fit for society, and should be in jail.

Instead, our sick officials make ambassadors to Luxembourg out of them.

Some misguided states would make senators out of them and send them off to Congress.

As common people, let us all tell the Sodomites and all that support them: You are not welcome in our state of West Virginia, let alone protected to do your ungodly deeds.

Rev. Jerry Falwell Opposes Hate-Crime-Laws Too

Most hate crimes in America today are not directed toward African-American or Jewish people or lesbians. They are directed at evangelical Christians.

Larry Kramer on Man-Made AIDS

theriver.jpg - 11.99 K You have got to read a new book called The River by Edward Hooper (Little Brown) which is a stick of dynamite. Thesis is that AIDS came from bum polio vaccine made and administered in 50's in Africa by Dr. Hilary Koprowski first of Lederle and then of Wistar Institute in Philly (who is still alive) and he is responsible for potential death of a billion people.

The book is pretty convincing. Scientists I know and respect think it is a pretty solid case. If this is so then a lot of things must be thought about seriously. One is rush to vaccinate everyone today with anything. Another is the blame that has constantly been leveled on gays and drug users, whom this book clearly proves were not among the first infected by a long shot.

And then there is this argument that can now be most persuasively made: if the US government gave us AIDS now they fucking better give us a cure! We desperately need something to put AIDS back on the front page. This could be it.
