We should all three get together again!<BR/><BR/>As for my intolerance, I think the best word to describe my attitude is contemptuous, not intolerant.<BR/><BR/>I feel bad that you felt included with the objects of my contempt. Shayne, just by the very fact that you still talk to me with respect means that you are clearly not amoung the people I am referring to. <BR/><BR/>I actually was <B>not</B> generalizing that <B>all</B> people who believe in the bible are assholes. I was saying that people who use the bible as a reason to oppress, belittle and shun people, even though the translation is suspect, and despite not following every aspect of the book themselves, are assholes.Sarah J Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798196893014767833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12885547.post-19436229169156524472008-03-10T15:42:00.000-06:002008-03-10T15:42:00.000-06:00btw, looking good :)btw, looking good :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12885547.post-59827489532271200982008-03-10T15:40:00.000-06:002008-03-10T15:40:00.000-06:00Oooooo!

People are always beating on others for whatever reasons.<BR/><BR/>But generalizations like you have made here are rather intolerant of us poor, ignorant fundys.

That implies to me that it should still be lived by as best as we can.<BR/><BR/>The bottom line is that the bible today does not say what the bible originally said, so *stop* living by it, or else you are just living by the beliefs of the person who translated it.Sarah J Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798196893014767833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12885547.post-52706498481859730052008-03-06T10:09:00.000-06:002008-03-06T10:09:00.000-06:00Something I didn't think about when I wrote that b...Something I didn't think about when I wrote that blog article is that if the effeminate are not allowed into the kingdom of god, then where do all the women go?<BR/><BR/>from http://www.otkenyer.hu/truluck/six_bible_passages.html<BR/><BR/>The word translated "effeminate in 1 Corinthians 6:9 is Greek malakoi and means "soft" or "vulnerable." The word is translated as "soft" in reference to clothing in Matthew 11:8 and Luke 7:25 and as "illness" in Matthew 4:23 and 9:35. It is not used anywhere else in the New Testament and carries no hint of reference to sexual orientation. Malakoi in 1 Corinthians 6:9 probably refers those who are "soft," "pliable," "unreliable," or "without courage or stability." The translation of malakoi as "effeminate" is incorrect, ignorant, degrading to women, and impossible to justify based on ancient usage compared to the meaning of "effeminate" today.Sarah J Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798196893014767833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12885547.post-32274762466314169152008-03-06T10:07:00.000-06:002008-03-06T10:07:00.000-06:00Reading the bible should be like watching 1960's s...Reading the bible should be like watching 1960's sci-fi movies that feature settlements on Mars founded in 1990. Obviously 1990 has come and gone and nobody lives on Mars, but we can overlook that minor detail if the story is entertaining. <BR/><BR/>It is time people started looking at the overall messages in the bible instead of focusing on micro-managing the details.Sarah J Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798196893014767833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12885547.post-40445098653858949622008-03-06T01:33:00.000-06:002008-03-06T01:33:00.000-06:00"Shame on you Jesus" ( and the accompanying photo ..."Shame on you Jesus" ( and the accompanying photo )is the single funniest thing I've read in months :-)Nick Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490579670202020981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12885547.post-45595007102503221072008-03-06T01:06:00.000-06:002008-03-06T01:06:00.000-06:00yay for bible trashing! literally its hard to live...yay for bible trashing! literally its hard to live by it. Interpretations aren't that much better.<BR/><BR/>The bible was written by men, and re-written by men, let alone the suspect translations. When men united Christianity with paganism they lost a lot of credibility. Christ was only a man with good moral values. Paganism introduced the god idea, right along with worshiping trees. What this has to do with transgenderism, I don't know.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>BenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
