(on an article saying that there are more sins in the world than homosexuality)
Your statements regarding the immoral state of the world is spot on, but to call for a halt to the "bashing" of homosexuals in incorrect. You are speaking rather favorably of people the OT refers to as "worthless." I'm deeply embarassed for you. It's time for you to study the Bible and learn from it so you will not be placing any further stumbling blocks in front of people. And, I should add, if you are struggling with your own homosexuality, there are those who would help you in your battle.

You tell them it's good/okay to verbally abuse people for being homosexual ,then tell them that there are those that can help them if they are?
"bashing" of homosexuals
This is just another term for Sunday service, right?
people the OT refers to as "worthless."
If you're a Christian, you do not have to follow the Old Testament. That's only for Jews. Unless the OT supports your bigotry...
Your statements regarding the immoral state of the world is spot on, but to call for a halt to the "bashing" of shellfish eaters is incorrect. You are speaking rather favorably of food the OT refers to as "an abomination." I'm deeply embarassed for you. It's time for you to study the Bible and learn from it so you will not be placing any further stumbling blocks in front of people. And, I should add, if you are struggling with your own shellfish eating, there are those who would help you in your battle.
If you're going to bash homosexuals, then you should also bash people who refuse to sell their daughters, people who eat shrimp, people who wear two different types of fabric, people who cook meat and milk in the same dishes, people who refuse to murder their disobedient children, women who defend their husband in a fight, and people who work on Saturday. And probably more that I can't recall right now. Do you? Then STFU, you hypocrite.
So Anonymous, you are prepared to accept all the other abominations in Leviticus are still valid?
And don't give me the sophistry of 'nailed to the cross' when it's your arse that's being nailed to the floor.
You really should take your own advice and study the bible. You really need to learn that homosexuality really wasn't that big a deal, and was basically on the same par as working on the Sabbath or eating shellfish.
As far as "worthless," I thought God loved everyone? Or are we stumbling into "God hates fags" territory?
To quote a song from gay icon and LGBT-rights activist Cyndi Lauper:
I see your true colors, shining through...
Wow, Anonymous, you're right! There's totally a passage of the Bible that says "Violence is wrong, unless they're homos, then go for it."
Though I am not a Christian, I see it as a religion with it's fundamental element being love. It preaches charity, tolerance and goodwill among other virtues that are generally accepted to be good. But Anonymous have somehow found a reason for prejudice in all that. Anonymous is a Christian in name only because he or she values prejudice and hatred far more than true Christian love. It's sad and disgusting.
There are worse sins in the world than homosexuality. People dying of starvation in Africa and Asia, wars and plagues, and the indifference of sanctimonious assholes to their problems is the biggest.
Let's see here, have you ever:
Touched a football or had pork?
If so then your a sinner as well, your Holy Book bans them and your according to it your wicked as well.
You are speaking rather favorably of people the OT refers to as "worthless."
It says lying with a man as with a woman is an "abomination". So is eating shrimp. Homosexuality is about on par with adultery and striking your parents.
The bible only even mentions homosexuality a handful of times, and only in the old testament. There are, according to your religion mind you, MUCH graver sins that run themes through both testaments. Now kindly fuck off.
That's funny, because when I was a xtian, and I read the babble, especially what jesus supposedly said, I got the feeling like he was for forgiveness and understanding for all. Well, except for religious zealots.
If the world is immoral, it is only because of despicable examples of 'humanity' like yourself. You who would tote around a two-thousand year old book of myths and use it to oppress people and deny them happiness while professing to help them. People are not worthless, delusions are worthless.
You are speaking rather favorably of people the OT refers to as "worthless." I'm deeply embarassed for you.
Buddy, we're not the ones who should feel embarrassed, you should. And I'm sure homophobia will become just as much of a public embarrassment to admit to as racism. And who the fuck cares what the old testament authors thought? They supported slavery and thought you can change a baby goat's pattern by sticking a rod in front of its parents while they shag. The Old Testament can be called a lot of things but 'a reliable source' is not one of those things.
It's time for you to study the Bible and learn from it so you will not be placing any further stumbling blocks in front of people.
It's time for you to read and study something besides the Bible so you can cease having those damn god-goggles glued to your face.
And, I should add, if you are struggling with your own homosexuality, there are those who would help you in your battle.
Ted Haggard?
You are speaking rather favorably of the OT which, in any meaningful, rational discourse, could be referred to as "worthless." I'm deeply embarrassed for you.
Compared to homosexual sex, there are infintely worse sins. I'll give you a for instance, Anonymous:
Being a right-wing Fundamental ist Christian. Proof?
Tony Alamo: a (now ex-) fundie preacher-turned serial statutory rapist. The only way he's leaving prison is in a box.
Timothy McVeigh: as a result of his bombing the Alfred P Murrah Building in Oklahoma City in 1995, there's 168 people who won't be celebrating Xmas (then, now & in the future). Including 19 children.
Fred Phelps & his WBC. Need I say more?
You are speaking of a perfectly natural act by consenting adults. I'm deeply embarrassed for you. It's time for you to reconcile your so-called 'beliefs (and the so-called Bible such are based on) with the above. Besides...:

As someone on here pointed out recently: If Bible-gawd hated him some homosexuals, why didn't he put it in his top-10 list?
Funny how Jesus warned people numerous times in the gospels about taking care of the less fortunate and not accumulating wealth, but never mentioned homosexuality once. Now you have all these rich conservatives who don't give a shit about poor people but they are in an uproar about gay people. And they claim to be the true followers of Jesus.
I thought that Jesus invalidated the Old Testament, that's why we can eat shellfish and why we don't have to rest on the Sabbath.
Oh dear! What a shame! Sorry to see that you've lost your battle with the evil Christianity of mind-washing fame. By the sound of it, you are pretty unredeemable, although, you did post anonymously, so you obviously feel ashamed that you are weak enough to have allowed yourself to have been brain-washed into a cult of sheer evil. I'm afraid though that there's very little that can be done for you by the ways of reason, humanitarianism, logic etc. You have given yourself over quite willingly to the forces of bigotry and drooling insanity. I fear there is no return to the light for you. The best you can do is to keep on believing the lies you have been told. It may help your piece of mind. On the other hand, it won't prevent you from being seen by nearly everyone as an anonymous Christiantist dick.
There are certainly more persons in the world involved in producing and wearing blended fabric garments than in homosexuality. Why don't you OT fans ever bash the garment industry? For that matter, why don't you police your own club and curtail the thieving of tele-evangelists? No, it's more fun to get together with your self-righteous pals and think about gay men and lesbians, huh? I'm deeply embarassed for you.
I forget whether it was here or Slacktivist, but someone said that a probable reason why the fundamentalists harp so thoroughly on homosexuality is because unlike most other sins, this one is something they can usually be sure they've never partaken of. In other words, they can be sure that when they're judged as they judge, they'll get a verdict of "innocent". Things like adultery, avarice, pride, envy...not so likely. As far as they can tell, assailing homosexuality is a perfect outlet for their scorn towards the world's temerity in being imperfect.
Of the OT.... Why can't we just get rid of that bullshit already?
Because there are HUGE amounts of money involved, religion is right up there with arms dealing and drug smuggling in terms of cash involved... and the people running those trades are all about as ruthless as each other...
And, I should add, if you are struggling with your own homosexuality, there are those who would help you in your battle.
FAP FAP FAP!
Hmmm...
Lev 21:16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[It's time for you to study the Bible and learn from it so you will not be placing any further stumbling blocks in front of people.]
Most people who tell others to "study" the bible haven't even read it themselves.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
