It's Funny How Tolerance and Diversity Works

Discussion in 'Philosophy' started by morphyx, Apr 16, 2008.

  1. Works was a bad choice of words. It's really a one way street.
     
  2. Its funny how intolerance and bigotry work:
    Leviticus 20:13
    If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.


    How about all of Genesis 19, Sodom and Gomorrah?

    Leviticus 18:22
    "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."

    Leviticus 20:13

    Romans 1:26-27

    Romans 1:26-27:"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." (King James Version)

    1 Corinthians 6:9

    "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." (Emphasis ours)

    1 Timothy 9:10

    "Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine."

    Now tell me morphyx, how do you condone the extreme prejudice that god purports? Sadly enough it's not just limited to the harassment of homosexuals.
     
  3. It's funny that you keep starting these weird threads... :hide:
     
  4. not that funny actually, quite annoying.
