Dear Sir, your personal life is full of hypocrisy. It's always easier to
notice it in the eyes of others than to see it in yourself.
In Jesus' words, we see the mote in our neighbor's eye but are blind to the
beam in our own.
Though this can go both ways (apparently so do some Episcopal Bishops), I
don't believe that Christians would wish an adulterer or murderer into the
position of Bishop. In this manner, they (the Christians) aren't hypocrites,
as they believe that they are upholding the word of God. The purported
derision towards gays by Christian seems especially focused due to the media's
infatuation with the issue. This will go away with the occurrence of the next
significant issue.
By the by, where's the much vaunted "Separation of Church and State"? When
the liberals derive satisfaction from using the so called separation, they
swoon with ecstasy, but encounter a group of people, Christians, supposedly
protected FROM interference by the same amendment, liberals lever the
government to force these groups to allow behaviors that are in contradiction
to the group's beliefs and by the application of such leverage violates the
Rights of the group.

So murderers are right up there with homos.
The issue is that the Bible says certain things are condemned. If you
have a religion that is based on the Bible, then you presumably follow
the rules in the Bible.
If your religion doesn't use the Bible, that is OK also.
If you claim to use the Bible as a basis for your religion, and then
only use what parts are convenient, then you are an "a la carte"
religion, where you pick and choose what you like and what you don't.
Engineers don't like that. That is why most of us here don't like
hypocrisy, even if we don't know (or care) what the issue is.

And to be faithful to the FAQ of this group, I want to know if anyone
has really modeled their own antenna for 60 meters. The FCC requires
some records in your "station records." I have done so (I'm using an
inverted L for 160).
Is anyone really using a dipole for 60M? Probably ten guys, max. How
many QSO's have anyone made? Is it worth the trouble? Follow up to
this posting (but change the subject, please).
Never say never.
Nothing is absolute.
