Who exactly does the Bible want us to hate? Let's find out, shall we? In the hands of today's evangelicals and their embarrassingly misguided devotees, the Bible is always the gauge by which marriage equality and homosexuality are consistently coming up short. But if we read those same letters from Paul to the churches in their entirety, instead of skipping over everything that doesn't pertain to only homosexuality, then the message becomes clear that they should be discriminating against practically everybody on Earth - especially their own selves! Starring Mo Gaffney and Morgan Walsh, of "The Momo Show," with Jamie Torcellini Written and Directed by Dennis Osborne
Taken from the DVD "The Complete Kathy and Mo Show". The DVD Features HBO Specials, 'Parallel Lives' (1991) and 'The Dark Side' (1995), and new material (2005). The skit is from the "Parallel Lives" special. I edited the skit to show a clip montage during the middle of it. The editing is not perfect. Note: I will not post full clips from the DVD out of respect for Kathy and Mo. Please support their talent by purchasing their DVD and script (available through Amazon). This is only meant to be a "commercial" for their DVD.

Video montage from the DVD, "The Complete Kathy and Mo Show". Features HBO Specials, 'Parallel Lives' (1991) and 'The Dark Side' (1995). The song on this clip was originally Cyndi Lauper's, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", but they got me for copyright infringment, so I had to change the song. Note: I will not post full clips from the DVD out of respect for Kathy and Mo. Please support their talent by purchasing their DVD and script (available through Amazon).
