  Jane Bovaryposted 14 years agoin reply to this
  No, but it does suggest two things to me Livelonger. One, that believers can use their religious texts to justify and make absolute those moral directives that fit a particular agenda - even while conveniently discarding other parts of the same text.
  
  And secondly, that instead of confronting those moral precepts in the holy books which are flawed (unsavoury, brutal, absurd or contradictory) and thus may throw the Divinity/goodness of their God into question, they rationalize and circumvent the issue with all sorts of elaborate intellectual contortions and excuses.
  
  Now I don't care too much about the second...that's their business, but the first is downright dangerous, as we can see with the likes of GHF crowd.

  livelongerposted 14 years agoin reply to this
  Yes, that's true. I suppose tolerant religious people do that, too, except in a different direction...which, of course, suggests that a religion is not its scripture but the agreement among adherents to adhere to a certain interpretation of them. That's probably why there are so, so many of them.
  Yes, some do. Some believe that scripture is divinely given. Others believe it was recorded by man, and thus full of the errors that primitive man was prone to make.
  I don't see how it's any more dangerous than people doing/saying bad things with any other form of justification that makes sense to them.

  Jane Bovaryposted 14 years agoin reply to this
  Well you're right that religion doesn't have a monopoly on pushing agendas, which are justified in all sorts of ways, but I think there is still a distinction to be made here.
  
  I'd argue that it's the moral certainty that makes religion so prone to being a loaded gun. Secular moralities are supposed to provide some sort of a rational justification and if they're faulty then hopefully they be shown to be faulty through reason. By contrast, a religious morality requires no justification other than *God said it*. How can you argue with that kind of certainty? How can you reason with it...?
  
  The God element can really muddy the water when it comes to working out what is moral and what is not.

  livelongerposted 14 years agoin reply to this
  Well, only a few "fundamentalist" interpretations of religions argue for timeless moral certainties. And even they bend the rules when it's convenient to them. I chuckle every time I see a "fundamentalist" evangelical (Protestant) religion talk about their steadfast adherence to what their messiah said...and then promptly ignore or explain away his prohibition against divorce. They're only a fundamentalist in their own minds.
  
  In reality, there are probably about 11 fundamentalist Christians on the planet right now, and you never hear of them.
  
  I've seen nationalism, racism, and other ideologies produce the same sort of troubling moral certainties, and not all nationalists and racists were brought up under the indoctrinating influence of fundamentalist religion.
  
  By the same token, I've seen more moderate religions fulfill a completely positive influence in people's lives. But they were probably inclined to be good people anyway.

  http://www.gotquestions.org/Sodom-and-Gomorrah.html - that comes third on the google search for me, after wiki and biblical archeological site. I am too lazy to dig for the actual bible text though, may be somebody will post it. Just as I remember genuine believer Lot was offering his daughters for rape instead, but the guys did not want females. I take it it would have been OK with your god if they raped girls instead, and city would have been saved.

  That's a common Christian perspective.
  
  The common Jewish perspective is that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was their propensity for violence, lack of hospitality towards visitors, and cruelty:
  http://www.iwgonline.org/docs/sodom.html
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodom_and_ … wish_views
  
  Why Lot offered up his daughters to be raped instead of the (male) angels is anyone's guess, but had the Sodomites taken Lot up on his offer, it wouldn't have made the city's inhabitants' crimes any less forgivable.
  
  (Note I'm not arguing for a literal reading of this story as historical fact, but the differing interpretations say something.)

  You can invent as many interpretations as you like, but for me the text clearly reads as they have been punished for homosexuality, among other things. And I am not even a neutral person, I used to be a sympathetic one for a mere fact that christianity back in the USSR was a taboo, so the premise was it should have been something good.

  The Bible is quite clear on what God thinks about gays. It is BS and frankly I think there's something slippery and a bit dishonest about that third group who says "no it didn't really say that" . Or *Jesus says nothing therefore God changed His mind*. They're kidding themselves.
  
  There seems to be three options here:
  
  a)The Biblical God got it wrong
  b)The Biblical God got it right
  C)The Biblical God is not real
  
  Since it's not possible for an all-knowing God to get it wrong and no rational moral argument can be made against homosexuality...any sensible, moral person would have to go with option c.

  livelongerposted 14 years agoin reply to this
  Another possibility:
  
  D) those writing and translating and retranslating the Bible got it wrong, because they are humans and humans are prone to making mistakes and injecting their own biases
  
  The reason that some believe (D) is that there have some very easily demonstrable changes in meaning between the original Hebrew and the English KJV that most English-speaking Christians are familiar with.

  Could those "OTHER THINGS" be little things like a little rape here, a simple murder there; or a minor case of burning and looting?
  
  Sodom and Gemmorah were built on unstable ground or had severe weather distubances that caused fear and anger and mayhem among the people living there. There were good people and bad people in those towns the same as every other place on this earth.
  
  Sodom and Gemmorah were destroyed by a natural event that killed everybody in that area. Who you were having sex with at the time had nothing to do with it.

  Too many people understand scriptures to be saying much more that they actually say.
  I understand there to be two kinds of "sin"
  One kind against the Holy Ghost and another that is a "sin" against ourselves.
  Anything that we do that is detrimental to ourselves is sin against our physical being. And everyone are doing something.
  
  But lets not forget... that those things that I do, are not as bad as what everyone else is doing. LOL

  The story of sodom and Gemorrah was one a PBS station documentary. They tell you what really happen. It was explained and proven to be true. What's in the Bible is accurate to a point; then it gets dressed up a bit by the people who wrote the Bible and added their own little agendas into the story.

'God hates fags', is a complete lie, If God made us all, then why would he hate his own creations. Gay people are gay from birth, it's not a choice. If a Gay person decides to be 'straight' they are lying to everybody and worst of all themselves.

Anybody who hates Gay people are hating Gods creations, therefore defying God. Anybody who supports 'God hates fags' supports HATE and worst of all, the devil.

  Sexual attraction is biological, dude. You can't choose who you're attracted to, you just are. There is no free will about it.
  
  You can choose whether or not you act on sexual attraction, but I personally don't find it very consistent with the notion of a loving God that He would make ~10% of the population fall in love with people of the same sex and then tell them that they can never, ever act on that love.
  
  IMHO, it's pretty telling that Jews overwhelmingly support equal rights for gays and lesbians. The Old Testament/Torah is much harsher on homosexuality than the New (Jesus doesn't even mention it, and the references by Paul and Timothy are so vague that many people believe they refer to male prostitutes and pimps rather than homosexuals per se), so if the Jews are marrying same sex couples and ordaining gay rabbis, you'd think Christians would be miles ahead. Instead too many of us are all tangled up in medieval standards of sexual morality that regarded all sex as a moral degradation, and sex between married couples the only kind that didn't put your soul in danger (and even then, only if it was undertaken strictly for purposes of procreation). Many of these ideas were based on the teachings of Augustine, not the disciples, and certainly not Jesus!

I am not sure what everyone's definition of a faggot is.??
To me the word sounds to be referring to the male gender?
It also brings to my mind, promiscuity.
For instance that word doesn't come to mind when I see a Gay couple, who are living in a committed relationship.
But I'm no expert in the matter !
It isn't for me to judge them, Just know that that isn't my style.

If the definition above is correct.

I would think that God would look upon a fag in pretty much the same fashion as he would a Whore monger.
Whore monger ? I'd hate to guess how many men were at one time or another were guilty of that to some degree.

You can even find preachers here in the bible belt that take out ads in the paper stating that god hates homosexuals. Of course the standard response to this is that none of them are "True Christians"

I see a lot of chatter runnimg rampant here. If someone calls themself a Christian but does things contrary to what Christ wants, they are still considered a fullfledged Christian by atheists.

How many atheists here are like Pol Pot or Josef Stalin who murdered millions for no reason other than they were able to do it? Are you also guilty of their actions?

  The same is true of Muslims who do things contrary to what Mohammed wants: they are still considered full-fledged Muslims by many Christians.
  
  As for the whole "Atheists: Pol Pot is one of you, ha ha ha" argument, you need to remember that Atheists don't all agree on a particular code of behavior, either in particulars or in the basics, as we theists do.

  A flawed syllogism.
  
  Men are mortal. Socrates is mortal. Therefore, Socrates is a man.
  False. I just buried my pet goldfish, Socrates, in the backyard. He was mortal, and now he's dead.
  
  A duck is a bird. A duck can swim. Otters can swim. Therefore, otters are birds.
  
  Pol Pot was a murderer. Pol Pot was an atheist. Joe is an atheist. Therefore, Joe is a murderer (or is Pol Pot, both conclusions are equally invalid). See the flaw?
  
  Christians profess to be followers of Jesus Christ. The Westboro Baptist Church profess to be followers of Jesus Christ. Therefore, the Westboro Baptist Church are Christians? That there's a sound syllogism.
  
  Now, we can argue about what it really means to be a Christian, and whether the WBC's actions are in accordance with Christ's teachings, but you can't deny that WBC profess to be followers of Jesus Christ, and therefore, they fall under the umbrella of "Christian."
  
  At the same time, though,
  WBC are Christians. WBC are a pack of jerks. Jeff Berndt is a Christian. Therefore, Jeff Berndt is a jerk? Nope. That's just as bad logic as the others. But it's the same bad logic used (especially by conservative Christians!) to lump all Muslims into the same bucket as AlQuaida: they're all Muslims, so they're all Terrorists. Foolish.

  Out of curiosity, what would you call someone who calls himself a Christian and genuinely believes himself to be a Christian who is doing God's work, but commits an action or holds a belief that you consider unchristian?
  
  I mean, where do you draw the line here? Christians believe humans are sinners by definition - does one sinful act or unchristian belief really disqualify you from being Christian in your eyes? And what kind of doctrinal shibboleths do you require? I know many fundamentalists do not consider Catholics to be "true" Christians because of their veneration of the Pope, the saints, the Virgin Mary, etc. in addition to the Holy Trinity itself, but by the same token, many Catholics don't consider Protestants to be "true" Christians.
  
  You and I can say the Westboro folks are bad Christians whose actions and beliefs run contrary to everything we believe Christianity stands for, but is it really our right to declare that they are not Christian at all? Especially since they would claim you and I are the ones who aren't Christian. It's he said, she said here. Wars have broken out over less significant differences in theology.

God loves everybody according to the same source that people use to hate on people for their differences.

Although while it says God loves every person there are lots of actions that God doesn't like and I think Christians should start with those, like judgement - God hates it when we do that.

Also other actions God doesn't like is gossip - There are lots of verses on that....

There are plenty more actions that God doesn't like and most of the "thou art holier than though group" perpetrate these on a daily basis and if you don't then I aren't talking about you.

Christians are the only bible that some people will read and some of you read really poorly.

(I reserve the wrtie to make a hub on this. And to make it perfectly clear where I stand on this... I do believe in God (the one with the son Jesus Christ who died to Jhn3:16 - I am not a fan of Christians particularly those who deny Jesus Christ by their lifestyle which includes their petty judgements on other people. I guess I have just done that too, I however don't use my belief as a beating stick upon the general population, but I do believe that if you believe in something you should act like and LOVE is mentioned so many more times than any other word beside THE in the Bible.)

  you are correct. Jesus came to FULFIL the prophesies of the OT...as he was considered the Christ(greek) or Messiah (Hebrew) I.E. the Anointed One. There are only 5 books in the Bible that have the words of Jesus... Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Revelations. So if you follow the "teachings" of Jesus you would be getting your information from one of these 5 books. All of the other books of the new testament are written by Peter, John, Jude and reference the interpreted teaching of Jesus or was written by Saul/Paul and IMHO Paul was off on his on thing and just claimed to be teaching what Jesus taught. Read the Book of Acts...The Elders (Jewish) and Church (12 Apostles) Had to send a few corrections out to different areas to correct what Paul was telling folks...
  
  So I still stand by what I said previously... Jesus said " Love the Lord thy God with all your heart soul and mind" and " Love your neighbor as yourself" and if you follow this all other "laws" will be followed... two simple rules...and yet we make them so hard because we try to "understand" the "deeper" meanings...

It's interesting to me that the most non-legalistic of the NT writers began his career as the most legalistic of the group. He was on his way to hunt down and drag Christians in Damascus to their trials and death in Jerusalem, when he ran head first into Love. In his early writings he refers to himself as "the least among the Apostles", in his last writings he refers to himself as "Chief among sinners".
  Is Homosexual Sex a sin? Yes. So is looking at the legs of the little girl in the neighboring pew. So is imagining sex with anyone but your wife, and so is considering yourself one stitch closer to God than any other living human...ever... no matter what they are doing. So when we get perfect, we can teach perfect...until then, we best teach forgiveness and improvement.
  I was guilty. The punishment for my crimes was Death. Eternal separation from my Creator. Someone else was put to Death in my place. He also paid for everybody Else's crimes. I have simply accepted that free gift, and some of them have not.

As Christians it is not up to us to judge them however, we can judge their sinful actions and remind them that it is wrong. God will take care of the rest. I believe there are 12 instances where it is mentioned in the Bible; Genesis 19:5, Judges 19:22,Deuteronomy 23:17-18, 1 Kings 14:23-24, 15:12-13, 22:46, 2 Kings 23:6-8, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, Leviticus 18:21-22, Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:26-27, and 1 Timothy 1:8-10.

  Homosexuals do in fact know their actions can be interpreted as sin against your god. In that regard, you are free to judge these actions based on your scriptures and your god just as they are free to be homosexuals. Both sides are equally free.
  
  That is correct. You're free to debate the actions of homosexuals as judged by your god.
  
  That isn't quite right. Although you are free to judge the acts of homosexuals, you are not free to remind them that it is wrong as that now deals with an entirely different set of ideals, which is that of holding your set of morals and ethics above others and that you are now judging what is right and what is wrong and are conveying and imposing that judgment on others.
  
  This diminishes their rights and freedoms and breaches the boundaries of holding and honoring respect.
  
  Yes, and you are free to go on with your life believing that your god will take care of homosexuals, but you're not free to do the work of your god yourself.
  
  You have made your case clear and have expressed it on a public forum. The case is largely based on the interpretation of a particular set of scriptures and gods, but you appear to be claiming it as a certainty even though it has no relevancy to those who don't share your beliefs.
  
  However, I do applaud and thank you for sharing your opinions and will always support your right to do so. If you have anything new to share, please bring it forth.

Yes; the example of all of the men in town that wanted to rape the travelers that had come to town were Homosexuals, but is not the most interesting thing about the story.
We can jump to conclusions that homosexuality is the only sin present, but that does not have to be true.

If we remember that the Lord PROMISED that if only ten righteous men could be found in the town, ... the town would be spared for their sakes.
This was a PROMISE ! And it wasn't broken !

I think that when Lot offered to trade his virgin daughters to the mob, this showed that he didn't have faith that these angels of God could fend for themselves.
That symbolizes the fact that not even ONE righteous man was found in the town.

  Then, there is no need for your god to punish them if he doesn't hate them. If so, then you can bet that heaven is full of homosexuals. You must be very pleased.
  
  Did you notice you called them fags? I noticed.

Well so far as I can tell, only those things which coincide with a believer's personal moral sense/bias/prejudice are God's Will...the other stuff is apparently *cultural context* or a mistranslation.

I agree completely with that comment.
I take liberty to respectfully add just one thought

..... only those things which coincide with .. any persons .. personal moral sense/bias/prejudice are intelligent enough to consider ...the other stuff is apparently conjecture..

We all do it from cradle to the grave.
It seems to be a human response.

There is too much information to he had, to do otherwise.

If there was a God like the christians believe then it wouldnt hate. Couldnt hate. Is all loving, compassionate, all knowing and loves us. Tell that to the people being murdered, the innocent children starving, earthquakes, flash floods, wild fires, tornadoes, Hurricanes, mudslides.......

If there is a God it is a 3 year old psychopath burning human ants with his celestial magnifying glass.

The truth of the matter is that nobody knows except the dead and they are not talking. I will never trust your man made books to tell me what to believe. Bible, Koran, Talmud,.....

Personally I prefer Batman # 26.

a lot of people want to blame God for all the things going wrong here on earth, we pull tons and tons and tons of things from under the earth, changing things beneath, and expect things not to change on top, man made explosions every where, changing the ozone, looks to me that we need to take the blame fore things wrong on earth, as far as the children God put us in charge, so how about all of us start helping the hungry and needy

God does not control things on earth, that is our job, and we are pretty bad at it

  Then why do we pray to this God if He isn't in control of anything?

  This analogy required absolutely no deep thought.
  You can think deeper than that, can't you?
  You make God look like nothing but a mere human.
  
  This analogy is not describing an omnipotent, omniscient God at all. This is just whimsical and absurd.

  Can you describe anything outside of this world in terms other than what is nothing but a comparison to things OF this world.
  
  Surely your depth of thought goes deeper than what your posts indicate.
  
  I have faith that they do.

  That's the same thing my cousin said to me, but he also says he has been abducted by aliens, predicted the future, talked to my dead father, etc.
  
  I have tried in vain to reason with him, and he only feels angry and hurt that I can't respect and accept his distortions as facts.
  
  He has tried to tell me that intellect is not the only tool that can be used to describe things, but he has not provided any evidence of any other means by which to describe something. And here you are stating the same nonsense...not knowing that this is utterly absurd.
  
  Delusion is brutal.
