		<description>Dear Rev. (sic) Spitz,

Given your numerous statements, which if they don't actually encourage people to kill doctors that perform abortions, certainly praise those assasins, I don't think that you are in a position to make pronouncements about whether fetuses are "murdered" when a doctor performs a legal medical procedure know as abortion.  You know nothing about the woman's medical condition when you stand outside medical facilities and call everyone that enters a murderer.</description>

		<description>Hey Reverend, 

Wow! I'm a polytheist and I can assure you I've never had an abortion, have no desire to rape or molest children and I most certainly do not have AIDS. I've never been in prison or even jail. 

I don't smoke cigarettes, have never tried crack, LSD, PCP, meth, cocaine, heroin, or any other drugs excluding medicinal marijuana. I also drink in moderation (once in a blue moon) and I'm over the age of 21 so that's allowed.

I support my family, don't slack off when it comes to parenting my son, I have almost completed a college degree(I had to leave school due to a severe fracture to my tibia), but plan to go back. Until then, I've found a job to support my family and carry my weight. I've also started a non-profit organization to help those with Muscular Dystrophy.

Oh yeah, and I do all this from a wheelchair. I have a progressive muscle disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy that has left me wheelchair bound. I also have respiratory problems as a part of my disease.

I was diagnosed at age four and you can't blame my disability on my not believing in Jesus because at the time of diagnosis I believed in Jesus (or thought I had to) and had been baptized as a baby. I also had first communion, went to CCD, and I had my Catholic confirmation in 8th grade.

As I became older, I began to question the church and eventually found a path that suited my beliefs. Just because I don't believe in Jesus doesn't make me bad. I'm a good person, I have morals and I always try to do the right thing. 

It's bigots like you...misinformed ignoramuses who like to blame everything on homosexuals (who have done nothing wrong) and non-Christians while plenty of pastors are off raping children and spreading AIDS themselves. I know a pastor who liked to molest little girls and he was heterosexual. He also made his own daughter pray for hours or he'd beat her.

Just look at those in the ex-gay movement who swore they were healed (Jesus saved them!) and then were found to not be healed at all. John Paulk, Michael Johnston (who was in the media professing his straightness and in the bedroom knowingly passing his AIDS on to others) and Michael Bussee. Your way of "thinking" that homosexuality is bad just HURTS these people not helps them. 

Oh, and furthermore, when you read the original Greek &#38; Hebrew translations of the Bible then you can spew your hateful rhetoric because those translations have NOTHING about homosexuality in them. There is not even a mention of it minus Jonathan and David's homosexual love for one another! The interpreters CHANGED the Bible and you're fool enough to believe those translations are right.

Get educated reverend because it's people like you I pity, who spew their hate and show up at funerals of dead soldiers to say God damned the soldier for stupid crap thats irrelevant to the war in Iraq.</description>

		<description>Thanks for your comment :)

While I don't have time to comment to each and everything you said, nor do I feel it would be prudent to do so, I will say a few things. 

1. The majority of "sodomites" molesting little children are actually heterosexual men. Generally molestation and crimes of pedophilia occur by people that know the children they are harming. They are brothers, fathers, and uncles. Sometimes they are priests, boy scout leaders, and other men in positions of power. Less than 2% actually admit to being or identify as homosexual. In fact, these men do not even have attractions to adult men. However, I do appreciate you telling me where you think they might be homosexual. It's a common misconception and much easier to swallow if you think someone evil is doing it, when in fact, most of them are just like you. 

2. Thousands of people got AIDS or HIV from blood transfusions. Did they get HIV because God knew they were evil or is your claim based strictly on the drug addicts and homosexuals? If so, I feel it fair to tell you that currently the two highest demographics for HIV are African American women and the Elderly. Thanks to medications like Viagra, older adults are becoming more promiscuous. I don't know who led you to believe that AIDS occurs based on lack of faith, but often there is an understandable reason.

3. Abortion, while not necessarily right for all people, is legal. My religion believes that there is nothing wrong with it and that the soul does not connect with the physical form until the child is out of the mother's body. That being said, I could not have an abortion myself unless I had to have one for medical reasons. So if you want to blame anyone for being murderers, I guess you should blame our God fearing government because they, and the people that voted them in, seem to think that abortion is okay. Either way, these people will receive judgment by your God when they die, so what business is it of yours to pass judgment on them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am pretty sure that it is a sin, as well to judge (lest ye be judged) and makes you no better than the baby murderer that you condemn.  

Considering the fact that I don't believe in Jesus a prayer won't save me from "hell". I don't believe hell exists. I believe that it is something that was created in a book to hold people at bay and give them rules that are unnecessary to life. It is fine for you to believe whatever you believe, but pushing it on others is as big a sin, as not believing at all.</description>

		<description>You seem to forget about over 4,000 helpless children murdered each and every day by babykilling abortionists or thousands of children molested by sodomite homosexuals.
Most, if not all problems on the planet earth are from people like you, people who reject Jesus Christ. Our prisons are filled with people, like you, who reject Jesus Christ. Most, if not all; rapes, murders, robberies and thefts are committed by people, like you, who reject Jesus Christ. AIDS is mainly spread by people who reject Jesus Christ and have sex outside of marriage.   Children  AIDS get it from people who reject Jesus Christ. 
    I hope you will turn from your sins and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and escape the fires of eternal hell. Turning from your sins and giving your life to Jesus Christ is the only way you can escape the fires of hell and receive everlasting life. If you persist in your sins and continue to turn your back on Jesus Christ, you will be lost forever.
SAY THIS PRAYER: Dear Jesus, I am a sinner and am headed to eternal hell because of my sins. I believe you died on the cross to take away my sins and to take me to heaven. Jesus, I ask you now to come into my heart and take away my sins and give me eternal life.</description>
