I do. I have a problem with the hypocrisy behind most religion. I
don't find hypocrisy to be nearly as noble a trait as it's deniers
would have us believe. I'm not saying all people of faith are
hypocritical, but most are. God leads us to victory, but has no hand
in defeat. Our god is better than your god. It's idiocy. People
are free to believe what they want, but in anything, when a belief
becomes irrational it become subject to criticism. That is a human
right. Don't wish to be criticized, don't assume irrational beliefs.

What the Rockies practice as an organization is hypocritical, and it
is a form of reverse discrimination, without a doubt.
