The Baal Peor is an idol that requires its followers to use the idol as a toilet.
There was a Jew who showed his contempt for the idol by wiping his behind on its nose after defecating in the temple and who was praised for his piety by the acolytes of the god who said, "no man has ever before served this idol thus". The Gemara in Avodah Zarah states that the area before the idol Peor that the worship of the idol consisted of excrementing before it. Rashi comments that Peor was so called because they would uncover before it the end of the rectum and bring forth excrement; this is its worship.
Yesterday I spoke to a misled soul from Boro Park. He told me that he would vote for lesbian Christine Quinn so that the Republican Party's candidate would have a better chance to win.
The logic is as twisted as the Jewish man doing his business on the idol.
