Do as I say, not as I do...

Many people, myself included, think that people like Phelps that are outspoken about the evils of homosexuality do so because they are terrified of their own deeply rooted homosexual tendancies. It's the religious right that rails against homosexuals, yet are the same ones that have commited the most heinous crimes involving sodomy, such as the scandals in the Catholic Church in which those involved were not punished, or if they were, only very lightly.

This trend of "do as I say, not as I do" seems to be the rule for the religious right. In a recent case in Arizona, a camp counselor sodomized 18 boys, ages 11-13, using flashlights and broomsticks. The culprit was intending to go on a mission to preach the word of Jesus next year.

To make matters worse in this case, the person responsible is getting off with almost no punishment. The prosecutors are only seeking a mild sentence with little to no jail time and changing the charge to only one count of assault instead of 18 of sexual assault against minors. Why?
