Oh, wait, I forgot, you're just trolling! <br /><br />Also, to GinaM, this cretin likes to bait Gryphen regarding homosexuality, and he/she always does it with a very creepy undertone and always misspells daughter. Individual seems mentally disturbed and shows signs of having been abused and strongly suggests possible homosexual tendencies through his/her rabid denial and denouncement of homosexuality. I've always hoped that this person lives far, far away from Alaska because he/she seems like the type that might not just be all talk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-40976414205602593132012-10-07T10:18:55.079-08:002012-10-07T10:18:55.079-08:00Anonymous8:06 AM

That means that we will have more and more homosexuals amongst us. Homosexuality is all about nurture and very little about nature. Deny it all you want jesse and keep on posting about the queer because that's your mechanism you're using to make yourself feel better about the mess you and your wife made of your dotter.

It's another to worship the book, insist every word is absolute truth and can never be wrong. That attitude worships the book instead of the deity/power behind it. The Bible, like all books, was written by humans and is chock full of human bias and points of view, and human imperfection. The Old Testament, in particular, portrays the kind of deity -- vengeful & angry, or merciful & beneficent -- that the people writing it wanted to believe in to justify their actions and desires of the moment. <br /><br />And to justify its veracity by claiming its every word is true because they're directly inspired by God -- what a stroke of fear-inducing advertising genius!<br /><br />Book worship is ludicrous. And if you will notice, the current crop of Religious-Political right-wingers are approaching the Constitution the same way as they do the bible---as the divinely inspired word of God that must be reverenced/interpreted literally, and never changed---except for eliminating the parts they don't like. ;) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9361564.post-21297721992356781692012-10-07T05:49:33.341-08:002012-10-07T05:49:33.341-08:00Thanks for sharing this Gryphen.

This one troubles me. I expected better from Mark Twain. "The text remains" is a good line, and the repetition is effective. But this is my entire beef with the visible, public "church". They never give you the references for the texts. Just bellowing bullies who yell "The Bible says . . . ." and never say exactly WHERE it says that. Book, chapter and verse, guys! <br /><br />I believe that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. I do not believe that the Lord God of the Bible expects me, or anyone else, to be bound by the Levitical laws for the Old Testament Jews. Paul plainly said that these things were examples. The text can remain, and do no harm. "Forever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven" never killed anyone. The bullies who pass the offering plate have perverted the words, and they're the ones who insist on the torturing and killing. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
