text: What the parish bullies and gossips who "use religion as a weapon against others" don't realize is that they're putting their immortal souls in serious peril with their their cruelty, arrogance, and judgmental disposition towards people they regard as "inferior" and want kicked out of the church.  
  I remember reading in C.S. Lewis' "Mere Christianity" a passage stating that a cold, self-righteous prig with a superior attitude is far closer to hell than a prostitute; this same thing holds true today.  An arrogant, gossipy parish bully who plays God is far closer to Hell than any LGBT individual.
