I can love humanity again.
How come nobody accuses Christians of reading the Bible too literally when they come out against murder or adultery or casting the first stone or any of a million other moral rules in the Bible? Or even birth control, for that matter. No one actually says “The Pope opposes birth control so he really must favor executions for people who allow their oxen to roam free.” I love that homosexuality is the one issue that makes complaints like this arise. And it’s funny, too, because if you honestly believe that the authors of the Bible didn’t consider homosexuality a real actual punishable-by-God sin, you’re probably just crazy. Almost every major Christian thinker in history has made it clear that homosexuality is just not acceptable. I cannot possibly imagine why anyone thinks that is such a bizarre position for Christians to take - unlike this shrimp situation. I’m pretty sure Aquinas, Augustine, and Dante added together have nothing to say about shrimp.
Wow, that was ranty. I apologize in advance.
Yeah, well, with due respect to Mssrs. Aquinas et al, they’re a bunch of goyim who never got anything right anyway. They decided to pick and choose in the bible – and they chose wrong.
Also they considered heterosexual sex to be pretty suspect, too, and it only got off the hook because of babies. So unless you’re making five million babies, you shouldn’t really get to use their arguments. It’s only fair.
Thank God. Maybe now the number of people who die each year from massive obesity will drop by a half dozen or so.
Or they’ll just order large fries plus more fries.
And three large sodas.
Or maybe they’ll just go to Arby’s.
<a href=“http://www.thecommongood.org/CGN/3_3/biblicalmarriage.html”>Another thing</a> to go along with the abomination from above… this time, it’s Christians arguing for a much, much more bible-based marriage ammendment than Bush is.
I wish that was the appocalypse. Oh, God, I wish the appocalypse had happened before I had read that, so that I could die with some love left in my succulent heart (u).
Now that’s a sexy alibi…WITH RESULTS!
<strike>Alibi that for a dollar!</strike>
