I believe in myself.
I believe that whatever I wish to do is good, pure, and beyond question.
I believe there are no absolutes in life, and no objective truths.
I believe a person's chief aim in life should be sexual gratification in whatever form one chooses.
I believe in the beauty of self-centeredness.
I believe nothing is more important than me and my perceived happiness.
I believe that anyone who questions the morality of my actions is an unenlightened bigot.
I believe that promiscuity should be celebrated.
I believe that one's sexuality should pervade every aspect of one's being.
I believe in using my membership in the Roman Catholic Church as a pretense for criticizing and undermining the Church's fundamental teachings.
I believe that everything should be tolerated, except for religious orthodoxy.
I believe I am the center of the universe, and that a 2,000 year old institution should change its fundamental teaching on homosexuality so I can feel better about myself and less guilty about my destructive lifestyle choice.
It's funny, Andrew Sullivan, of all people, blames the Church for AIDS deaths in Africa.
Hmm Andrew, I don't think the Church has ever infected anyone with AIDS, can you say the same?
BTTT
I was saying the same thing earlier; Do people like Sullivan actually think that people who were engaging in dangerous behavior--doing drugs, gay sex, etc. etc.--would have suddenly thought "Hey, before I have anal with this drug addict, I'd better slap on a jimmycap!"? Moron!
The Church teaches that anal sex is sinful and forbidden, and that abstention is better than condoms.
When observed, AIDS is only spread by blood xfers or dirty needles.
This pretty much sums it up.
And "I believe" you're right!
"I believe I can fly!"
Yeah, two, three, years ago, I liked reading Andrew Sullivan.
But then he became more and more self-obsessed, to the exclusion of all else.
I mean, I have some causes for which I feel very strongly and very passionately, but they do not dominate my life (and whatever I write).
But Andrew Sullivan is a "one issue" writer; no matter the subject, it is important only as it relates to gay marriage--the guy cannot write about the price of soybeans in Burma, or about the physics of sympathetic vibration, without linking it, somehow, to gay marriage.
