Tennessee Church Expels Mom of Gay Cop

Recommended Posts

>Sin is sin, homosexuality is one of many sins mentioned in the Bible.

So is having carved images - say, statues of Jesus Christ or crucifixes showing Christ. It's even one of the Ten Commandments. But most Christians sorta let that one slide.

So is working on Sunday. But most Christians applaud a man who works Sundays to feed his family. Apparently that's a safe one to ignore, too.

>This sin obviously warrants special attention from the Holy Spirit inspired word. Why
>do you suppose that is?

Because it aligns with the anti-gay agenda of the religious right.

1. Roman Catholic practice and tradition, not Protestant.

2. The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Actually, Sunday is the first day of the working week.

3. Do you suppose that the BC and the AD Jews had a right wing agenda? Interesting concept, however, I think it had more to do with fornication which spreads disease. STD's could wipe out whole communities. I guess they still could.
Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

There are social rules and there are Christian rules. At this juncture, social rules accept homosexuality, Christian rules do not. Live with it.

It's a sin mentioned in the Bible, which is what you were talking about. In fact it's one of the ten big ones. (Of course, both denominations ignore parts of the Bible that are inconvenient in any case.)

Another Biblical sin that is ignored when inconvenient. Most people would much rather make a few extra bucks than heed Biblical warnings.

>Do you suppose that the BC and the AD Jews had a right wing agenda?

Nope; they had their own agendas more appropriate to the time they lived in.

Modern religious right wingers use whatever they can to further their agenda. In the 1950's, they used the Bible to prove that interracial marriage was a deadly sin. They gave up on that in the 1980's. Today they are claiming the Bible states that homosexuality is a deadly sin. If they follow the same timetable they will again "alter their understanding" of the Bible in about 30 years.

***Fuckers. Hope they all go to that Hell they invented.




Like I am really suppose to believe that you are upset with their opinions. It seems your only interest is in finding straw men to tear down. What makes you so self righteous in deciding what is right and wrong?

What I find interesting is that someone who says they don't believe in God wishes hell on someone. Seems to me, that

A. Curse is useless if no God is available.

B. There is no hell without God.

C. If, somehow, there is a hell, then they don't realize how their curse could come back and bite their eternal butt.

Religion is all about hating some of the people all of the time. Screw that.



I have about as much use for religion as you do. But you, and others like you, seem to ignore spiritual reality that makes our species unique on this planet. And you all have absolutely blinded yourselves to power that this spirituality can have in our lives and those around us.

*********YOUR "Christian" rules, you mean



Bible Scripture.
Old testament.

And New Testament

How about all the stuff in the bible about how to treat slaves?

How about all the stuff in the bible about how to sell your daughter into slavery?

How about the stuff in the bible about the top "christian" dudes that have hundreds of wives?

How about all the stuff in the bible about no fish on Fridays, issues with menstruating women, etc, etc etc.

There is a load of crap in the bible that "christians" conveniently forget is there, or choose to ignore, while holding firmly to those parts that support whatever the latest issue that "Christians" are pissy about.

The complete lack of moral consistency from "Christians" is very well established. You are right up there in that category.

How is that actively practicing "Socialism" working for you? Have you stopped taking Social Security payments and using Medicare for health care? You profess to despise "socialism", while gleefully partaking of the most socialistic programs the US Government has to offer.

Man up and stick to your principles, or STFU about the evils of something you use and appreciate.

It is their religion
they pracice it just as Christians practice theirs
and when there religion is threatened, they come out like wounded bears as demonstrated by the viseral comments in this thread
