Perhaps "hypocrite" was too strong a word. I just would prefer others to be as introspective before speaking as I am.
People used biblical passages to justify the anti-miscegenation laws that were in place before 1967, too--both blacks and whites. Meanwhile, we all know what was going on behind closed doors before 1865. So, when someone hides behind the Bible to justify their bigotry, I'm more than a little wary.
Three2Tango, your post cracked me up.
