3. Assholes need to get thier priorities straight.

Here is the thing, say for arguments sake that being gay is immoral or against what God believes. Well isn't greed and gluttony also. Yet I bet no priest would ever, in any way, refuse to give last rites to Bill Gates or Tiger Woods. <- not saying either one is catholic, just making a point. Everything I know about the bible, which is limited, makes it clear that greed and gluttony are their top sin behind non-belief itself. The whole anti-gay thing goes beyond religion. You would not read a story like this where a man was refused last rights because he spent $500,000 on a car. Yet according to just about all religious documents and understanding that should be the greater sin. The ant-gay stance by the Catholic Church is spread by man and is highly intentional.
