Matthew 24:51

All hypocrites will end up in hell (Matthew 24:51). Keep this in mind all of you actors who purport to follow the Prince of Peace while killing, maiming, and stealing from the less able around you. You are a hypocrite.

The leaders of the evangelical Christian Right are constantly attacking gay and lesbian Americans. One of their favorite stereotypes, championed by America's premier homophobe, Rev. Lou Sheldon and his Traditional Values Coalition, is that gays recruit people into homosexuality. Lou and the rest of the sanctimonious leaders of the Christian Right are also notorious for their claim that religion, specifically their dogmatic Protestant fundamentalism, will prevent or, cure, homosexuality.

Pastor Lonnie Latham, a member of the executive committee of the Southern Baptist connvention, has spoken out vehemently against same-sex marriage and urged gays to reject their sinful, destructive lifestyle.

On January 3, 2005, Pastor Latham was booked into Oklahoma County Jail after being arrested for soliciting an undercover male police officer to join him in his hotel room for oral sex. (Latham's 2005 Mercedes was also impounded. Apparently the business of religious deceit and bigotry is quite profitable.)

According to a September 12, 2004 LA Times story, Paul Crouch, the president of Trinity Broadcasting Network, paid Enoch Lonnie Ford $425,000 in 1998 in exchange for his silence about an alleged homosexual affair they had had in 1996 at a TBN-owned cabin near Lake Arrowhead, California. Trinity Broadcasting Network claims to be the world's largest Christian media empire with 24-hour programming via 47 satellites and 12,500 affiliates reaching a total of 92,540,954 U.S. households. In true duplicitous fashion, a statement released on September 22, 2004 by TBN denied Crouch had had a homosexual affair, but confirmed the hush money..."

I wonder if that Mercedes will melt in Hell?
