Every time I ask: do you believe literally? I get willful moral and intellectual dissonance.

    [SIZE=small]Please see how this clip ends. [/SIZE]

    [SIZE=small]I believe that Jesus believed, is what that last gent speaking in this clip uses as his reason for believing the unbelievable story of Lot. He is forgiving a God who is obviously doing evil just because he can blame his poor moral position on Jesus.[/SIZE]
     
    [SIZE=small]This type of willful moral and intellectual dissonance is what I get from many Christians who will forgive their God for things they condemn people for doing. [/SIZE]
     
    [SIZE=small]If morals are not the most important issue for God or Christians, then what is the most important aspect of religion to you as a believer?[/SIZE]
     
    [SIZE=small]Are literalists idol worshipers? The last speaker seems to be one as he ignores his own true beliefs to follow his idol, Jesus even as he doubts the morality and reality of the story of Lot.[/SIZE]

    \t<a>11. Pearls Before The Swine</a>Father forgive me
    Mother forsake me
    I think they've all become to strong
    Brother believe me
    Silence is deadly
    And its giving me the strength to carry on
    Time has come, now I'm blind, deaf & numb
    You're killing me, you're killing me
    When I look into your eyes I can see it's
    The world that you despise
    And you're giving me the strength to carry on
    Forgive me...
    Look for the devils in their eyes,
    Laughing, the blood has long been dried.
    To hide in your disguise it goes on & on & on...
    Wallow, pearls before swine!
    If the liar deceives you
    Then the sin will appear true
    Even if it leads me to the end
    Killer accuse me
    The devil breathes easy
    - give in me the strength to carry on
    Time has come, now I'm blind deaf & numb
    Your killing me your killing
    When I look into your eyes I can see it's
    The world that you despise
    And your giving me the strength to carry on
    Look for the devils in their eyes,
    Laughing the blood has long been dried
    Tonight in your disguise it goes on& on
    Wallow... pearls before swine
    No you've blown away the sun
    Darkened eyes & bitten tongue
    Now you've blown away the son.
