In their hatred of someone else.
quote:
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Putting aside doctrinal differences, Christian, Jewish and Muslim religious leaders united on Wednesday for a frontal assault on a gay festival planned for Jerusalem.
quote:
"This is not a homo-land. This is the Holy Land," said Yehuda Levin, who represents more than 1,000 Orthodox rabbis leaders in the United States.
quote:
"To make a parade will be not be an offence but a provocation to Christians, Jews and Muslims from all over the world," Vatican Ambassador Archbishop Pietro Sambi told reporters. "No one can be sure it will go on in a peaceful way." Homosexuality is anathema to many denominations of the three major faiths, all of which have shrines in Jerusalem.
quote:
Muslim Sheikh Bouchari voiced concern that the festival could draw down divine wrath akin to that which destroyed the biblical city of Sodom.
"God destroyed the city and we don't want his to happen to us. God will punish us if we allow this to happen," he said.
It just warms your heart to see Jews, Christians, and Muslims come together like this, doesn't it?

The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.

Of course not. That's us. But those who visit here who are both skeptics and gay are really in for it.... |

| On Bill Maher's show, Alec Baldwin summed up the situation with an impression of any of the religious leaders involved, speaking to the others (paraphrased): "I hate you, and I hate you, but what I really hate are fags." |
