Christian culture is immersed in self-victimization. While murdering women and gays, the Catholic Church proclaimed how they were the victims of those evil people they were stealing land and wealth from with their witch trail tortures. Today’s Conservative Christian groups routinely rely on the false perception that they are persecuted by non-believers, hence Hak-Shing William Tam’s lame excuse for withdrawing. It’s simply a tricky way to distract the public from the fact that you’re doing mean, nasty work out in the world. If you get your supporters to believe you’re being picked on, they might not notice the dirty work you’re involved in.

In fact, this week’s newsletter from NOM (National Organization for Maintaining the status quo) claims the judge is at fault for driving away key expert witnesses from the trail. Oh, us poor Conservative Christians, we’re always getting picked on, all we want is to make the law support us more than those other people, boo, hoo. PS, send us more money!

These guys are experts at the politics of distraction. Self-victimization is just one of their deceptive tools.

I love that this @sshole is getting all sorts of unwanted publicity now. Since his homophobic rantings hurt the defendants’ case, even his erstwhile homophobic allies are abandoning him. Maybe crime really doesn’t pay!

It is astonishing in this day and age that people still cling to this hatred of gay people. I just don’t get it.

What is it exactly that tempts Hak-Shing William Tam so much about homosexuality? It sounds like it takes the bible and the prayerss of all of China just to hold him and all of his friends — and their children, evidently — from rushing to become gay?!?!? He seems positively salivating over the chance to do that. perhaps resigning from the case is his first step to exploring his true passions so he could be on the down low….or so it seems by his words. Freak.

I wonder if he can be subpoenaed to testify since he actively participate in getting Prop Hate passed.

Quoth Priya Lynn:

Or perhaps to put it another way, the opposite of faith is denial.

=====

No, that’s another form of faith. The opposite of faith is doubt – a willingness to abandon beliefs that are either not supported by evidence or those that are contradicted by evidence.

Cheers.
