So, to continue this puzzle I look to my Christian friends
and ask about their teachings. I often hear “It says in the Bible” or “God said
it” or “my preacher says that it the Lord said” and on and on. They maintain
that abortion is an abomination because it says so in the Bible. Ditto with gay
life style. Ditto with divorce. Ditto with what-ever-the-hell-you-want to
support. They throw WWJD around like a soap commercial jingle. Too bad Jesus
didn’t have the Bible (new) to guide him into hatred.
This brings me to Leviticus. Lots of good stuff here for
everybody, and it is unquestionably the Bible. Take 21: 16 -20. What utter
crap. Take 21:5 and then take a look at all the bible-quoting skin heads and
so-called Christians like Rick Scott. Which brings me to Leviticus 18:22 where
it specifically forbids the tattooing of the body.
Which brings me to this question: if you follow the Bible
and want to stone gays to death, why do you have a tattoo? Because you CHERRY
PICK THE BIBLE, that’s why. Or you really don’t know what the Bible actually
says. And don’t go to the free will argument. I agree you have the free will to
do what you want because there are no natural or sacred rules to follow. I do
not agree that you can quote one section of a sacred text to support your
ignorant opinions and then ignore others because you have “free will”. If you
have the free will to get a tattoo, then any woman should have the free will to
have an abortion and any couple should have the free will to get married.
Anything short of that reeks of hypocrisy in the name of
Religion. Image: http://i.qkme.me/BVJ.jpg
