Over at the Sensible Jew blog1 there’s a bit of a conversation going on about the JCCV (That’s the Jewish Community Council of Victoria)Â and a ‘secret’ meeting with jews who are gay2. It’s all very covert and mysterious, and at the same time laughable. I don’t want to dwell on the blog itself, just one of the comments from a ‘religious jew’ Alan Hughes:
I myself am a religious Jew and as such pure evil down to the black venomous ooze running through my veins, and the sympathy I may have had for your cause has evaporated. The chief reason behind this is you.
See what being religious does to you, what a way to think about yourself. Black venomous ooze indeed. I think he means that, but his comment is not clear. Either way, what a crock! That anybody or any religion can evoke such feelings in any person is absurd, and yes, I know he’s talking metaphorically, but fair dinkum what an arsehole of a god he has. How will he ever rid himself of the black ooze? Perhaps 40 years in the desert might help….
