Religion. Discuss ( or should that be argue )

True, but surely devout Christians can't just pick and choose what they wish to believe from the bible (or other religions that believe the Old Testament, for that matter). As soon as you quote Leviticus as an example of God's teaching, you really have to sign up for the whole fucking deal.

no more Scampi fries for you, God botherer!!

This is precisely what millions of 'liberal' christians around the world do and I, for one, am glad of it. Obviously I'd prefer they realise the whole lot is basically a load of toss but at least they generally recognise the more horrific parts of their book and filter them out.

Good point. I wouldn't want to get stoned to death for coveting my neighbour's ass, or some such.

Still, no need to go picking on the gayers though.

This made me chuckle:

Laura Schlessinger is neither a medical doctor nor accredited in a discipline one would traditionally look to for the generation of expertise in moral, societal, or spiritual matters (such as divinity, psychology, or sociology).

........... I'm thinking of Tony Blair, scum like that.......

This resonates within me as if Big Ben had just announced midday.

1. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
   
   

ha brilliant

The letter is apocryphal, isn't it? God botherers have used Leviticus as their "evidence" that homogayness is a sin for years (I'm guessing since it was written), and heathens have been using the rest of Leviticus as evidence that it was written by a fucking nutbar.

why only "the rest"?
homophobe ;)

This National Post article is worth a read.

Excerpt:

In 2008, I warned Canadian Muslims that bringing human-rights complaints against Mark Steyn and other critics of militant Islam was a mistake: It was only a matter of time till the human-rights watchdogs come after the mullahs themselves.

“Like the Bible, Muslim scripture contains a lot of material that, by modern standards, would be considered sexist, homophobic or even anti-Semitic,” I wrote. “One statement attributed to Muhammad, for instance, declares that ‘Judgment day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill the Jews’ … The prospect of a human rights tribunal telling you which Suras and Hadiths you are and aren’t allowed to preach in your mosques may sound ridiculous. But it’s not.”

As an example, I cited the the case of a Saskatchewan Christian named Hugh Owens, who was taken up on human-rights charges for quoting Bible passages, such as Leviticus 18:22, in his campaign against homosexuality. “If Leviticus is now hate speech,” I asked in 2008, “how long before the Koran gets the same treatment?”

And now we have our answer: About four years.

Bump.

Probably a pearoast but I don't care, it's great.

That's a parody right?
Okay I'm pretty sure it isn't the more it goes on. Jokes...
"I wanted to watch the gay men." HAHA!

If they're not they're fucking mad. Embarassing to say I have the same the religion as some of these lunatic types.

Funny thing is tho, I *was *born a monkey.

Holy fuck those fundamentalist forums are full of mentalists. Just had a quick browse.

Fuck the fucking pope.

In the Vatican, the Pope fucks YOU!
