I am not one for short, impulsive diaries, but I was trolling the blogs and came across this gem. It should be a new meme: Republicans are Sodomites. On his blog, Sullivan posts his e-mails of the day. He received this gem from someone and I felt it worthy of sharing.
"I couldn't agree more with your comment on 'secularism gone nuts,' and hope nobody complains about my Virginia license plate. It reads 16 EZK 49 for the Biblical definition of the sin of sodomy (Ezekiel chapter 16, verse 49): "Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy." Who knew so many Republicans are sodomites??"

It is a good reminder that these Bible thumping charlatans need to remember the true reason behind the wrath of God against Sodom and Gomorrah: it was greed and decadence, not the rampant sex. If they want to hide behind the Bible and use it to justify their action, they must be judged accordingly. This shows that both testaments clearly dictate that we are to love and help our fellow man, lest we become the new Sodom (and because of the reasons they claim).
If we are a "Christian" nation, as they so vocally claim, then we should start acting more Christ-like. We, as members of the Democratic party, need to reclaim the label "party of faith", for we welcome all faiths (with or without the dogma); we believe in America; we believe in hope; we believe in charity; and, most importantly, we believe in our fellow (wo)man.
