Thank you for this.

Especially since I unfortunately live in the state which was able to accidentally outlaw all marriage.

what state was that?

Texas.

Texas, of course :p

Yes of course.

i thought only two things came from texas, thus they'd be more supportive of gay-rights.

Was it bitches and snitches or steers and queers? Same thing I guess.

i was thinking steers and queers.

You're a dumbass. Your attempt at a satirical statement shows your ignorance and lack of overall intelligence.

Even if the only things that come from Texas are Steers and Queers we're still a hell of a lot more successful than the rest of the country. Essentially being the only state that isn't drowning in this whole "Recession" bullshit.

And plus, our dicks are bigger.

Wow, I think a nerve has been struck. But remember, Texas also gave us George W. Bush. Are you also defensive in the extreme about that?

Actually, I think Texas is a great place. There's the mountains, seashore, plains, and even desert. If they would only get those Texans out of there. ;)

please stay in texas, dale89. is 89 the year you were born? most likely, i'd say, from your adolescent blathering.

Oklahoma's doing better.
(except for in football)

haha do you live in a bubble? unemployment rate is "drowning" y'all too. i just had my texan friend bitch to me about it today

Yes, you sound like a Big Dick!

*dances* love flame wars

We should start a massive Bible study campaign. The christians need to know what's actually in their book.

Knowledge and logic are religion's greatest enemies.

They know this, believe me

Thank God I'm an atheist

I try to be careful not to sound like another kind of religious nut with the denials. Would you deny flying pigs? Even if the pigs chanted about it to help their own digestion? Or madmen repeat stories ad absurd um
in order to make it "believable"?
Of course I like to make fun of dumb people like the next guy especially if they are in a safe distance.

I love this. What a great book Deuteronomy is This is the same book that orders an unmarried woman to marry her rapist. And look how far we've come, today the fundies just want to force the poor woman to carry and deliver a rapists child! Go God!!! (puke)

so, your listening to the part of the book that doesn't matter anymore. im sure that line might have killed some women but it's all relative. and to those who say logic and knowledge are the best defence against religion... the best defence is one that knows the enemy throughout. i think the old testement is only usefull for history and the fist parts of genesis. the NEW TESTEMENT is where it is at people. for the wages of sin are death but we are saved for jesus died for our sin. what an amazing god.

"so, your listening to the part of the book that doesn't matter anymore. "
And you obviously don't understand the point. The point is that we've seen sign after sign after sign that says that god hates homosexuals and quote Leviticus. You know, from the old testament? So, if we take a stupid part from the old testament and it makes you go "Oh, the old testament isn't valid anymore" then you can't say that any of it matters either! Get it?

"for the wages of sin are death but we are saved for jesus died for our sin. what an amazing god."
So, you have a book that claims that there is a problem. Then it claims that the author has solved the problem. Well good for you... I tend not to take a strangers word for things like that though. I prefer hearing some actual evidence instead of just someone proclaiming the "Truth" to me.

Look at it this way - do you believe that Allah is the one God and Muhammad is his prophet? Do you believe that Thor creates thunder and lighting? Do you believe that Zeus does? Do you believe that Krishna is an awesome God? If not, why not? There are books claiming all those things, just like your bible claims certain things. We do not believe everything we read! (and thank god for that)

I'm nearly positive there's more condemning verses in the new testament as well. Id rather not read up on it, I have better things to do with my time

The part that doesn't matter anymore? So... You can just pick and choose what you want to believe, right? Is that how they're working it nowadays? So tell me, Jesus died for all sins, right? His holy blood was spilled, he was crucified, to save mankind from all his stupidity, all his evils, all that was unholy in the sight of God. Your religion is supposed to preach peace, love and truth and understanding and all that jazz. But you've all twisted it, made it something ugly that people feel they have to fight against in an effort to not be condemned by you holier-than-thou hypocrites.

The wages of sin are not death, they are forgiveness in the bloody hands of Christ, at least that's what I've always heard. Go actually read the fucking book before you start spewing your unintelligent, uneducated bs.
