The Bible is very clear about homosexuality. It is an abomination and those who are homosexuals will surely die (not achieve immortality). If you TRULY believe in God and that the Bible is God's word, then you have no option but to heed it. You can't be a cafeteria Christian, consuming what you like and rejecting what you don't. To use a phrase liberals use when they are doing something offensive, "Get over to it." The next time you want to talk about intolerance, let's talk about liberals' intolerance of conservatives.

There's so many things wrong about this quote that I'm not sure I can do it justice.
Okay, let me first say that, yeah, the Bible IS very clear about a lot of things, homosexuality being one of them. It says that it's a sin, and that anyone who lies with a man like one would a woman should be put to death. I'm very clear on that. And, somewhat ironically, I don't believe in cafeteria Christianity either. I think people need to make a choice. Is the Bible God's law, or is it just some silly screeds written by people who didn't know a whole lot about anything? If it's the former, then you have to believe in butchering gays because that's God's law. It's wrong and immoral, but according to the Bible it's not. So. Make a choice.
Since morons like follow Leviticus fanatically, are your kids packing so they can be sold into slavery to pay off your debts?
Probably, slavery is still better than living with you!
I can be a 'cafeteria' Christian, because MY God isn't the tyrant yours is!
P.S. Liberals and Conservative cannot tolerate each other! That's why we don't need EITHER.
The bible is very clear about eating shellfish, and... ahh, whatever.
"You can't be a cafeteria Christian, consuming what you like and rejecting what you don't."
"Get over to it."
Actually, if you could read contextually (at all, let alone in Greek and Hebrew), you'd find that it's not really that clear about homosexuality. Most of the prohibitions regard all sorts of weird, specific things, like temple prostitution (f'rinstance). Now, the eating of shellfish and the wearing of polyester-cotton shirts... *that's* very clearly an abomination.
"Get over to it."
"You can't be a cafeteria Christian, consuming what you like and rejecting what you don't."
Please. Show me these people who are not "cafeteria Christians." I haven't yet met a single person who follows every tenet of the Bible to the letter. Not one. Not a single soul.
But you, LoneRanger85, maybe you can help me. Show me someone who fits this perfect mold of Christianity.
"The next time you want to talk about intolerance, let's talk about liberals' intolerance of conservatives. "
Lets talk about conservatives intolerance of everything and anything, including other types of conservatives. It has the advantage of being a real phenomenon.
pot, kettle, black, etc. award seconded
if the liberals weren't tolerant of conservatives, they would already try kicking you out.
Following your stupid logic, why aren't you doing the same with those who eat shrimp and so on?, the cafeteria should be applied to EVERY ASPECT, unless you sin of slippery slope. And concerning inmortality, if they're not inmortal, how are they going to Hell?. Another contradiction of fundies who never bother to use logic.
"It is an abomination and those who are homosexuals will surely die"
as will:
damn, beaten to it. Twice.
Agreed. "Those who are homosexuals WILL surely die (not achieve immortality)."
So will those who are heterosexuals, bisexuals, asexuals, LoneRanger85, and every other thing that ever lived. Get over it, get on with your own life, and live and let live.
Yeah, that's what I say when I offend people: "Get over to it." Then I pull their hair, give them a dime, and dance away singing Abba's "Dancing Queen." If I wasn't a tolerant liberal, I might do something crazy.
I'd be more likely to listen to you if:
you applied the same standards to all the abominations (shell food etc)
OR
you only applied the actual PROVEN words of Christ, rather than the aftercomers (Paul etc)

Something offensive like suggesting that homosexuals are equal with Christians as citizens?
Oh, and by the way, the next time I'm sucking some guy I just met at a bar I'll be sure to tell him to Google me later by my screen name, "LoneRanger85".
Credulous jackhol!
I'm with Thomas Jefferson on the idea that 97 percent of the bible should be discarded.
All a Christian needs is the Golden Rule, right?
No, AJ Jacobs followed the rules of the Bible . It failed, hilarity ensued, and your book doesn't work anymore.
i am very tolerant of conservatives, i dont try to force them to have abortions, pre-marital sex, dress a certain way, marry/have sex with someone of the same sex, or anything else they are against. i respect a conservatives right to believe what they want and live how they want BUT it isnt their right to tell others that they have to live the same or to make their beliefs law
You mean, intolerance of bigotry, homophobia, and just plain nastiness? I would dislike a racist person for being racist, be they liberal or conservative. Hating your fellow man is wrong, no matter what political ideology you have.
If you truly believe in God and that the Bible is God's word, then you have no option but to heed Jesus' teachings about love, forgiveness, and compassion. And you call other people "cafeteria Christians?"
So is:
When you start obeying these rules, then you can say something about the gays.
"You can't be a cafeteria Christian, consuming what you like and rejecting what you don't."
Go bomb a Red Lobster then (Leviticus 11, 10-12), since eating shellfish is just as much an abomination unto the Lord as homosexuality. Or are you picking and choosing too?
Bible also says that eating shrimps, and not disciplining your children with dayly beatings is an abomination...
or wearing clothes of different fabrics...
it also says that you can have slaves from another country, it also says that you have the right to ston thy neighbor if they sinned...
you might wan't to reconsider your statement...
who am i kidding he will never read this post
/You can't be a cafeteria Christian, consuming what you like and rejecting what you don't./
Yet you pick and choose which passages to follow in Leviticus. Why aren't you screaming at people for wearing polyester clothes or for eating shellfish? Hypocrite.
@lotus whitedragon: I'm a big fan of Harry Potter! Thanks for the reference, but your picture scared me.
LR85 is one of the more embarrassing examples of right wing scumbag.
His willful ignorance is revolting, his selfishness, greed, and overwhelming stupidity really sets him up as a poster child for ignorance everywhere.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
