Reply To: Political Acceptance of Atheism

Clearly many churches don’t read the whole friggin’ book. And this is a good thing, because if all Xians read the whole book and abided by it, this would be a truly horrible place to live.

The book itself gives them “outs.” They’ll point out that Christ “fulfilled” the laws (so somehow, they are now inoperative) but then somehow, only some of them were fulfilled. They get to pick and choose according to their own prejuces.

Even the most conservative sects play the pick-and-choose game; they don’t follow ALL of Leviticus (and many of us make a hobby of calling them on the stuff they choose to ignore, like stoning unruly kids for disrespecting their parents) but they sure do seem to love the “kill the faggots” verse, without fail.
