So, what you are saying is, is that in the original Hebrew, you'd get the feeling that the God of Leviticus would be more tolerant of show tunes? Where'd you learn this, the "Advocate's Interpretation of the Bible"? Well, I'm pretty sure you'd say this, O "I'm not a Muslim", being that you seem to think that only English versions of the Qu'ran make Allah sound like Satan. That, if we could just understand the classical Arabic, we'd see Islam as peaceful. Probably see the EARTH orbitting the sun, rather than the sun setting in murkey springs.
Nope. And all of your belittling language doesn't change the facts that the bible was written a long time ago and words had different meanings. If you would actually take the time to study, you would realize that it doesn't change your life at all unless you are gay.
So it is you who is still looking at this issue through some kind of blinder. Maybe you should look at why it bothers you? The ones who yell "queer" the loudest are usually hiding something themselves.
Meet anyone in a bathroom lately?
The Bible doesn't change your life at all unless you are gay? You see this, straight non-Bible believers? You, apparently, have nothing to fear from the Bible unless you're gay.
Anyway, hamy, it sounds like you are also a student of the Qu'ran. When I was trying to get it out of Dionys if the classical Arabic Quran HE seems to follow was peaceful compared to the one that makes Allah sound like Satan in the three English versions of the Quran I'm familiar with, you said, "Nope". Does that mean you feel there is no difference between Classical Arabic and the three English versions of the Qu'ran we're familiar with?
This is not about the bible or the quran. It is about legal rights here in this country. Religion has nothing to do with it.
Your comments are moot.
Um...no. The marriage of two men or women doesn't affect you unless you are gay.
The bible doesn't cause anything. It is a book.
"The marriage of two men or women doesn't affect you unless you are gay." Or are a child who might be adopted into that gay union?
"The bible doesn't cause anything. It is a book." Words don't mean anything? Why are you leaving comments in threads, then?
You might want to try taking a reading comprehension course.
Children who are raised by gay parents, according to every single study that has been done, are the same as children who are raised by straight parents. As an adopted child, I have to ask if you would prefer that children remain in foster care travelling from home to home with a strong possiblity of neglect or abuse than to be adopted into a loving home with two parents who truly want a child?
How sad for that child.
And I didn't say that "words don't mean anything." What I said exactly is that the bible doesn't "cause" anything. It is an inanimate object incabable of causing fear. I am not afraid of the bible.
And you still haven't answered the big question which is how does two people who you don't know getting married affect your marriage in a negative way. Tell me how it harms your apparently fragile marriage.
"And you still haven't answered the big question which is how does two people who you don't know getting married affect your marriage in a negative way. Tell me how it harms your apparently fragile marriage." I can't think of any. And, I agree that that an inanimate object is icapable of causing fear...unless made out of polonium 210, and hangs over a...ahh, I'm NOT going to go there, O Jihadists.
