I am so serious on trying to write a book about how judgmental the Christian church is and how many of its rules are circumstantial.
I know, lots of controversy, and people will threaten me if I were to actually get something like that published (albeit, unlikely).
Like "If a man lies with a another man..." Blah blah passage from Leviticus.
Many passages from Leviticus are circumstantial, like their insane amount of rules toward random things... such as shrimp or pork (kosher).
You didn't eat shrimp or pork back then because it was teeming with disease!
Much the same: Back then population was still sorta on the low side. If people started becoming gay, or released they were gay, population numbers would go down. It was much easier to increase population if people were closeted about their gayness... and just had children anyway... or became celibate priests... (Cough, sorry about that last bit catholics, low blow).
But seriously, if you plan on waving around one rule mentioned... oh.... 4 or 5 times in the whole book, why not follow the rest of them!? Why you say? Because they're ridiculous? (DUH)
Gayness is also not mentioned in the ten commandments. I do not see any "Thou shalt participate in activities of gayness" (like interior design) in the 10 commandments. DO you?
Also, did Jesus ever speak of gayness? NO!
Paul mentioned it once in a letter.
But there's no documented case of Jesus mentioning it. And for god's sake! He hung out with prostitutes.
Jesus was a pretty rad dude actually.
If I lived back then, I'd want to hang out with Jesus.
He may have been a pacifist but hell, did anyone see 'Jesus Christ Superstar'? He really did knock over all those tables.
And he was completely awesome about it.
TO sum things up and on a final note:
Gayness is a sin - Circumstantial
Jesus - Fucking Rocked.
I hope to do a more thorough post ont his later, but at the moment, I am so very tired and not up for research, I just wanted to get my point out there.
And this is more evidence on how sparatic my brain is. Oy.
Anyways:
