Marriage is between one man and one woman ... it is in the Bible

Last edited Fri Jun 21, 2013, 12:18 PM - Edit history (1)

Sorry no cherry picking "the good book" .... time to get busy w/lots killings. And please
remember which people to stone to death and which to burn alive .... praise Jesus!

KILL NON-VIRGIN BRIDES

Deuteronomy 22:13-21 - "If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate…. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him; and they shall amerse him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he has brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel; and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she has wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house…."

KILL UNWED LOVERS

Deuteronomy 22:22 - "If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die…."

Leviticus 20:10 - "And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death."

Leviticus 21: - "And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt by fire."

KILL UNWED MOTHERS

Genesis 38:24 - "And it came to pass about three months later, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath played the harlot; and also, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt."

KILL RAPE VICTIMS

Deuteronomy 22:23-24 - "If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city…."

KILL GAYS

Leviticus 20:13 - "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
(A 2001 Doubleday book, In the Beginning, by Oxford theologian Allister McGrath, says King James himself was gay, often fondling and kissing male court favorites in public.)

KILL DISOBEDIENT CHILDREN

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 - "If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not harken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, and will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And the men of the city shall stone him with stones, that he die…."

Why are there so many denominations? They all want to have it their way, they claim the source to be correct and true but yet all have a different interpretation.

3. They don't even know about it. They know nothing about their own religion.

5. It is not just the Old Testament, the NT verses against gay people come with rules for women
Fri Jun 21, 2013, 10:26 AM

saying they have to remain silent in public, forbids them to wear expensive or nice clothing, demands their heads be covered and that women never question anyone other than their husband, and him only at home to seek education from him. Note that many Christian women wear fancy duds while lecturing men about how sinful the Bible says gays are. They do not even note the irony. Gays are not human to them.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.

Which shows just how dangerous are Christian fundamentalists. How is this much different from the ruthlessness of dictators?
