I don't buy this shit about Dave being a reformed man one bit. I read an interview a while ago (shortly after he had his little meltdown over "Some Kind of Monster") where he was bragging about having fucked Kirk Hammett's girlfriend shortly after being (rightfully) kicked out of Metallica. He then queried of Kirk: "How do I taste?". How sweet of him.
And yes, Rethorn makes a good point. Backing someone because of their religion instead of their policy is dark-ages bullshit and anyone who does it loses my respect. I spent the first 18 years of my life in the Greek Orthodox Church (I was an altar boy and everything), but I'm not perfect. As such, correct me if I'm wrong when I say that I'm having trouble finding the Bible verse that says "Thou shalt go forth and cutteth taxes of mega-rich tycoons and those most likely to sendeth American jobs overseas". As a matter of fact, I could have sworn that the Bible spends a pretty good amount of time scorning the rich and greedy while showing sympathy for the poor and glorifying those who give to them. When it comes to pre-emptive strikes that come up empty-handed in the end, I'm pretty sure I remember "Blessed are the peacemakers" rather than "Blessed are the bomb-droppers".
When talking about homosexuality in the Bible, references are truly few and far between. Sure, it's an abomination according to scripture, but the same book (Leviticus) also condemns shellfish in the same way. If you've been to Red Lobster lately, you'd best drop to your knees.
