I haven't called you a thing. You're the one throwing around "dyke" and "fascist". I asked a simple question. Were the people that used the bible to justify slavery and segregation bigots, yes or no?
Being the bible is divine inspiration of the Holy Spirit, it's not my place to second guess or criticize it. I understand you're all pissed up over being called out on your lifestyle by God himself so you're going to try to tear down the book which condemns your behavior. I won't engage in that BULLSHIT game.. I believe the homosexual lifestyle to be WRONG, period.. but I don't care what you do, who you did it with.. That's the difference between you and I, and the RINO misfits in this thread.. It's none of my fucking business or the gubmints. Throw it the States, period.
Of course it is. If people hadn't "second guessed" or "criticized" it, we'd still be using it to justify slavery and segregation.
As societies have progressed, so has our interpretation of the bible. What do you think the NT was in the first place except a "re-write" because God was just a little too angry and controlling for a progressing culture? They needed that hippy Jesus fellow to come in and soften things up a bit. Of course, because the guy lived 2000 years ago, some of the ideals of HIS time don't really fit so well anymore do they? We don't own people and we don't treat women as property. These are both ideals espoused in the bible. You SHOULD criticize it.
I'm not tearing down the book, I like the book. 50 Shades of Grey has nothing on the bible for sex and violence (and a bit of kinky thrown in too), but I will attack those that cherry pick it to attack gays. It's not the bible's fault, it's the people who feed at the bible buffet and use it to justify keeping me from equal rights.
Loved that book.. great taste in reading material btw.. Listen, I think you have every right to get whatever benefits you and your partner can.. that's none of my business.. One of my closest friends, pretty much my best friend is a lesbian. She happens to be an author. I love her and respect her greatly. She loves me and knows my belief system.. she respects that too. Her partner is one the most wonderful people I've ever met.. giving, kind.. but that doesn't change my core belief system.. I think MURDERING BABIES is wrong.. several of my friends have had abortions. I held their hand and cried with them.. IT STILL DOESN'T FUCKING CHANGE that I believe it's wrong.
