Phil Robertson suspended for "anti-gay" remarks

[PtldPlatypus]

Please enlighten us sinners and quote the New Testament about homosexuality!

The Bible lumbs homosexuality in with all other forms of sexual immorality. Sexual immorality is condemned multiple times throughout the New Testament. Scripture does not differentiate between homosexuality and other forms of sexual immorality, including premarital sex, extra-marital sex, incestuous sex, etc. The only issue is that homosexual sex is the only form of "sexual immorality" that people are trying to justify as not being unbiblical.

here's what the Pope has to say about such things

What does the pope have to do with a literal interpretation of the Bible? Also, you do realize that the pope is the head of the Catholic Church, and not all of Christianity, right? Seems as if you didn't know this.

 

[PapaG]

It's kind of funny how some of you are posting Breitbart's spin on the article and Huff post's spin on the article but no one has posted the actual article.

It's kind of funny how the Breitbart article gives context to the quote, yet we still get idiotic posts about this non-story. Apparently statimg a factual account of what the Bible lists as sins is now unacceptable.

 

[PapaG]

One thing I've learned after years of interwebbing is that both the Christian and anti-Christian zealots cannot be reasoned with enough so they can see gray areas. This Robertson is a perfect example of it.

Thinking the bible is a fairy tale and acting like it's garbage is bigotry too

thinking the bible is a fairy tale is obviously not bigotry.

acting like Christians are garbage would be bigotry, but nobody here is doing that.

Your posts are bigoted against Christians. I'm not a Christian, but even I can see it.

I wonder where all the alcoholics and gamblers are that he attacked and slandered? Where is the uproar, drunks? He lumped you in with bestiality for crying out loud.

there isn't a history of bigotry against them. they have no reason to be sensitive to this.

Again, take it up with the author of the Bible. He or she is the person who listed homosexuality among many other supposed sins. If a guy can't even discuss what's in the Bible, then discussing any religious text should be off-limits.

He's not discussing religious text. If he had just done that there wouldn't be a problem. He's judging homosexuals and others in a harsh and insulting (and many Christians would say unbiblical) manner.

I wonder if he has any tattoos.

I'm argumentative and biased but I'm not a bigot. I've never wrote anything that's hateful or condemning against Christians here. In general I love Christians and I think at least to this point in history Christianity has been a net positive for humanity.

What are you talking about? Context to a quote? How about the source of the actual quote? GQ writes an article that spins people up and not once has a link to the actual article been posted here in this thread. I never said that any post in this thread is unacceptable.

Which is what is so funny about the bible . . .

I don't remember where it says this in the bible -

“It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”

yeah..there are several places that speak of man and woman as the practical pairing. Another thing that seems to be getting over looked is the fact that other religious texts deal with the subject in far harsher terms. The christian extreme is to love the sinner and hate the sin. Muslim extreme is to put to death..do I need to pull other examples?

Reminds me a lot of this:

I guess the message there is that we should just assume everyone who doesn't work on Sundays is homophobic?

I can't think of any scripture of any religion that teaches the benefits of homosexual acts.

The Muslims Probably are the most harsh on the subject making Leviticus tame with it's an
"abomination". What many Gays should know is that while many people want to leave Gays alone or not judge them, they still do not want hear about their activity because it is disgusting.
So Leviticus in not so far from the true feeling of many men even if they wish to leave judgement to the Lord.

yes thank you. this is about preexisting prejudice, not someone using the bible to determine what is and isn't a sin. that is quite clear from comments like the one from Robertson I just quoted above.

No, the Christian extreme is also to put to death, unless by "Christian" you mean "modern Americans and/or Europeans"

I can't think of any scripture of any religion that teaches the benefits of critical thinking.

Come on , Hoo..I know you are just trolling me here. you know your history as well as I,...I dont believe I have ever caught a news broadcast where Christians were cutting off someones fucking head..

I suppose you offer self as the example of modern cutting edge enlightenment?
If so, then that surely is an example of youthful inexperience.

You missed the difference. I do not and never did find Gays disgusting. It is preferable to not have to know that detail. I do find idea of their acts to consummate being gay disgusting and would prefer never to hear of it again, I would leave that audience with the lord to deal with since it is above my pay grade.

Who doesn't like a little girl on girl porn now and then?

(and by girl I mean over 18yrs old.)
