The Bogus Man

The world is chock full of liars, main-chancers, cads, mountebanks, thieves, ne'er-do-wells and fundamentalist religious bigots.*

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition eh Jimmy? You are the pits. Dripping with hypocrisy. You, of all people, dare threaten murder in the name of your 'forgiving' God while your congregation whoops and hollers its whole-hearted support.

Y'know if it was pointed out to the fundamentalist prick that he was no better than the likes of Abu Hamza or some other Islamic hate figure, he would react with horrified disbelief.

According to a transcript of the program, Swaggart said: "I'm trying to find the correct name for it ... this utter absolute, asinine, idiotic stupidity of men marrying men. ... I've never seen a man in my life I wanted to marry. And I'm gonna be blunt and plain; if one ever looks at me like that, I'm gonna kill him and tell God he died."

"I'm gonna kill him and tell God he died." ???????? Errrr.... Jimmy..... According to you and your mates God is all-seeing and all-knowing. Don't you think he'd know what you did? An inkling perhaps? He's supposed to be omnipresent and omniescient isn't he? I mean even if YOU hadn't remembered that, I thought that at least the pious and devout in your congregation may have.

After all the media focus on the other side of the religious divide, we need to be reminded that idiocy is not the sole preserve of the medievil nutters swaggering around the Middle East. Killing Homos, puffs, queers? It's one area where Swaggart and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi could shake hands and agree with each other.

I despair.
