Emne: Religious Crap Not Apologetic & Pentax Too
William, your comments are right on: "Much of the Bible is, by todays
standards, hate literature, and should be dealt with in those terms".
As a
gay American, I have personally experienced the no-stop hatred,
stupidity
and anti-gay violence preached by a large segment of the American
"Christian" population. The Bible, which is so historically
inaccurate that
it's a joke, has for 2000 years been used to kill and maim gay people
throughout the world. News flash-the Bible was written by goat
herders who
thought the world was flat. And Jesus never said a bad word about gay
people....read the book! Sweden is a great and tolerant
nation......and is
right in not allowing hate to hide behind the Bible as a "religious
beliefs". They also make great cars.
If Nazism was a "religion", would their undying hatred of Jews be
allowed
and justified as a religious belief? Hell, in the US, religious
bigotry is
even given a tax break. Talk about insult to injury.
But hey, unlike many religious folks in my country, I'll forgive the
hatred
of me if they like Pentax cameras. After all, no one's perfect!

In the West the Left is currently telling us to give up what we
hold to, even within the 4 walls of our meeting facilities.
Specifically, in Sweden a pastor was recently sentenced to 30 days in
jail for simiply reading Bible passages which dealt with a Christian
view of homosexuality.
So much for the lie of tolerance.
Tolerance is disagreeing with something, but keeping your mouth shut.
Showing intolerance and then using religion as an excuse is no longer
acceptable, at least not on the society I live in.
Much of the Bible is, by todays standards, hate literature, and
should be dealt with in those terms.
