You're doing it wrong. Try flipping it a few books toward the back if you really want to dig it to them rascally Christians…otherwise, what's your point?

This is how we know what love is, that while we were fucked up Jesus loved us enough to die so we don't have to remain fucked up.

this is one of the most intelligent protest signs I've seen in a while. Have you looked at Morons With Signs? Those have to be the dumbest.

well, except that the person who talks about the old words written by an unknowledgeable shepherd.
I thought freedom from oppressive religious beliefs was what brought folks here to America to begin with.
If they want to get married, let them get married.
What the heck business is it of anybody else?!

Great way to make a point. Deuteronomy was for the fleeing Hebrews in the desert. The laws are clarified for everyone in the New Testament.  Matthew 22: 34 Jesus said to him, ” ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” And it’s always good to remember this one. Matthew 7: 1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.

According to the Bible, I'm fucked.

Fuck yeah!

This whole thread is fraught with boring, irresolvable conflict and contradiction.
Hey, let's talk about abortion and Obama, too!
That'll be fun!

Nice

I wouldnt say drop the old testament, but generally the its considered to be more symbolic than something to base ones laws on. Also if you are going to base your philosophy on some crap you see on television, then you are an idiot but I leave you free to be an idiot.

Are we absolutely sure this isn't going to backfire? Fundies might agree with that.

When you base your philosophies on what goat herders wrote 2,000 years ago while living in mud shanties, you're a nutjob. Others may have qualms telling you this, but I don't.

If Christianity dropped the Old Testament the world would be a better place. The way it's used is basically more just to cite things Jesus quoted on occasion.

If they want to quote the Bible they shouldn't forget about this little gem… Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads (NIV)

On hark! Typically Christianity does not have to follow the old testament to the letter. Hence the purpose of the new testament was to change the way people think. But still I hate the way all these liberal extremists think someone is against gay marriage or abortion, that it somehow comes from the bible. Now I am not an American, so I dont understand how your marriage is fully regulated. But were I live, for the state to acknowledge gay marriage would conflict with the constitution and cost billions in tax revenue. If want people to get their nose out of your bedroom, get your nose out of their religion.

someday peter.. someday
