Chickenshits.
4 Aug 2003 17:09That's the only way I can describe the heads of the Episcopalian church these days. If you've been following along with the news about them, you'd know by now that today they were supposed to debate on whether to make Reverend Robinson, a homosexual, a bishop or not.
Active phrase being supposed to.
But then, *just* before the debating was scheduled to take place, some out-of-the-blue steaming pile of horseshit falls out of the sky on it all! Apparently some dick who calls himself Dave Lewis from Manchester (although I'm willing to bet it was someone in that very room, personally...*way* too convenient for these intolerant pricks.) sent an email accusing the bishop-to-be of molestation and supporting a porno site.
What really gets me is the vagueness of the accusations. Where most anyone could've given an exact year, and many a date and even time of day, and a play-by-play account of what happened, or at the least a few details, "Mr. Lewis" described it as happening "a few years ago" and that the reverend "put his hands on him inappropriately every time we talked".
As for the "porno site"? www.outright.org, a site aimed not at smut, but rather a simply outreach for gay and bi kids/teenagers. Dear god, a webpage designed to reach out to and help youth? How perverse! *rolls eyes*
I've put up with trolls on the Usenet groups and writers for the Weekly World News that can come up with better excuses for their bullshit than that 8-cent plate of crap a la mode, yet apparently the Episcopalian head honchos felt that was enough to put the debate on hold and go into an excessively deep investigation, which will probably go on past Friday when, lo and behold, their annual meeting ends! Delaying the debate to the point where there's no time for it could rather easily keep Rev. Robinson from becoming a bishop for the next year, if not permanently.
Geez, how freakin' convenient for his opponents, eh? Guess they owe a huge bowl of thanks to the guy in the 4th row with the laptop who just closed out of Outlook Express.....err, I mean, David Lewis of Manchester, Va.

AFTERTHOUGHT
Yeah, I know I'm gonna piss more than a few people off with this one. Supporting homosexual rights, bashing a corrupt religious structure, and possibly even telling some guy from Manchester that I don't believe he even exists.
As far as your opinion of my way of thinking goes, look me in the eye and tell me I give a damn.
