Why stop at protesting gay marriage? You don't get to pick and choose.

This is one of my main "beefs" with the Bible. It's too easy for people to pick up on stuff like this and think they have found yet another reason to disregard God, His word, and their own need for Him.

Here is a news-bite for you: There are SO MANY rules and regulations and such in the Bible - especially the "Old Testament" - that it is impossible for you to live by them. And it's on purpose.

God didn't intend for us to live by a set of rules. But by His Spirit. In daily communication with Him, etc.

Man wants to "go his own way." He wants to feel self-righteous. He wants to feel "worthy." So God gave us so many rules that if we try to live by them all, they would drive us to our ...

So when Leviticus says that homosexuality is an abomination, that's OK? But when Leviticus says shrimp are an abomination, that's not OK? That's the point of this clip.

Gee, Travis -

What a joker your God is, to make the Jews follow all those silly rules for 5000 years! He must have a good laugh over it several times a day.

BTW - if the New Testament is supposed to be our guidebook in all things, why didn't Jesus Christ himself write a book explaining everything? Don't try telling me he was illiterate - he taught the wise men in the temple didn't he?

The total lack of any writings by JC is one of the greatest arguments against Christianity.

If I may interject-

Jesus did dispel the old testament, and just one of his statements specifically covers this whole issue.
Mark 7:20

In summary: It says that its not what you eat that you should worry about but what you think, say and do.

Oh, and I don't like shrimp , crabs, lobster or any of that nasty stuff anyway.
I'm with George Carlin on this one-

"Anything that walks on its legs...sideways..and has claws just doesn't look right to me!"

That's good news. Now I don't have to worry about the Ten Commandments being displayed on government property or Creation (ID) being taught as science in school. Wait... What?

Technically, on homosexuality, the Bible forbids men laying with men. Says nothing about women. So, literally interpreted, lesbians are on the approved list.

And yes, I'm a shrimp-eating heathen. Well, actually, a shrimp-eating pagan, since "heathen" is used for the Norse worshippers.

Now that you've had your pagan/heathen vocabulary lesson for today, please feel free to go back to browsing.

Allow me to clarify--I am only a shrimp-eating heathen sinner if it is the eating of shrimp that makes me heathen. Otherwise I am a shrimp-eating Christian sinner.

Thanks, WT, for clearing up the difference for me!

I ate horse a couple of times. Isn't that one of those forbidden foods? Or is it the cloven hoofed beasties. I'm always getting my forbidden foods mixed up.

Cloven hoofed that chew their cud are OK. I think. That's why pigs are bad. Bunnies are dirty, so don't eat those either.
