"And the death of religious institutions will only cement into place the new secular religion of the Last Man, the one that worships military power, personal advancement, hedonism and greed, the one that justifies our ruthless callousness toward the weak and the poor. "
Ridiculous. If I can reject all religions I can reject other ideas as well, even more easily since they are not taught as dogma. And I do not seek to replace religion with something else to worship.

This actually seems to be a repeat of the whole Iraq fiasco.

Bolton has actually admitted that he wishes diplomacy to fail:

What agenda is that exactly? Equal rights?

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

If you have such funny/strange beliefs..then yeah.
And how does one hate something which one does not believe in?

But lets assume for a while that he indeed does exist...surely you must admit that he at best is incompetent? All the power in the world, very simple thing to improve living conditions for billions.. but apparently chooses not to.
If a politician had the same power as god and did nothing to improve things a bit here and there people would be rightly outraged. The same should hold true for any deity.
