Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: What! You too? I thought I was the only one.

TOP 5 BIBLE PASSAGES IGNORED BY THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT

  • Leviticus 11:12 – No lobster

  • Leviticus 19:27-28 – Can’t cut hair growing from temples

  • Leviticus 11:7-8 – No pork

  • Deuteronomy 22:13-29 – Stone wife if not a virgin at the time of marriage

  • Matthew 5:32 – No divorce


P.S. Can't touch the pig's skin either, fellas! So no more football!

I bet the religous left fails to heed those, too.

Horatio said...

You're right. I'me sure they do. Not the point though, because the reason for this list is to undercut the logic behind right-wingers hate-speech towards gays. This is all about consistency. They say they are just following the Bible. Well, to those people I say Follow the Bible. No more Red Lobster for you.

The left, of course, has yet to use the Bible as an excuse for hate speech so their ignoring these things doesn't really constitute any inconsistency.

Nancy Toby said...

They tend to dodge the issue by saying the Old Testament laws were made obsolete when Jesus came on the scene. Of course, these are the same people saying those Old Testament commandments should be on display in our publicly-funded schools and courthouses. I don't know what makes them think the New Testament isn't just as obsolete, though.... good post!

Grandes Cigarro said...

Whoa. Check out the percent of right wing hate mongers in these states.

I wonder what the percentages are in the other 33 states?

Horatio said...

Point taken, Hood. Yes, blue states enacted gay marriage bans. But as in all things, it really depends on how you ask the question. The amendment referenda were usually on defining marriage between a man and a woman. Sounds relatively harmless to me I guess. But the same guy who voted yes to the amendment might balk if you asked him, "do you want to prevent gays from ever getting married having power of attorney or visiting each other in the hospital etc."

I love Leviticus, all the best bible madness can be found there...

Leviticxus 15:16:18 - If a man lies with a woman and has an emission of semen, both of them shall bathe in water, and be unclean until the evening.

BTW, I bet the religious right is working on getting rid of divorce ;)

Horatio,
You really should expand on your third bullet. Leviticus 11:8 also forbids the touching of the skin of these cloved animals, ergo no pigskin, ergo no football!

Good post!

Yes, it is funny. Gotta follow the good book religiously, but they just take the needed passages and bypass their own sins, eh?

Rather, the book offers something for every occasion. As in, if you are an authority, and you want to do "x", then chances are the good book has a passage for you to help you mobilize the ignorant masses for your own purposes with some simple hate filled passage...

these comments are not fair: most christians are good citizens and know not such passages as these, as they largely follow the new testament.
you are letting your opinion be swayed by a small, un-chirstlike minority. what, do you think all muslims are terrorists too?

Now the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrine of demons . . . commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; for it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. (1 Timothy 4:1, 3-5)

i do not care how you, as skeptics, will interpret this, but this definatively allows christians to eat any and all foods. it seems you yourselves are only looking at the scriptures you want to read.
