I have come to learn and recognize that those who thump the bible the loudest, preach of their following of the word and judge others are themselves some of the biggest liars, hypocrites and "sinners"....
They will say how marriage is a sacred union between a woman and man and condemn Gay couples and homosexuality.....all while having lovers on the side and wanting to f*ck their lovers in the A**. they say that only a man and woman should raise children and Gays shouldnt be allowed to do so or adopt.....meanwhile they beat their children.
They should have Mel Gibson be their Poster Child....he represents what they really are and reveals who they are.....
