Bradley LaShawn Fowler, 39, has filed lawsuits in a Michigan federal court against Zondervan Publishing and Thomas Nelson Publishing, claiming some editions of the Bibles those companies put out call homosexuality sinful, which has led him to suffer discrimination, emotional pain and mental instability.
"Defendant willfully caused me to endure acts of hate, discrimination, and loss of sleep, appetite, by structuring their New King James Bible to reflect God’s distaste of homosexuals," Fowler wrote in his complaint against Thomas Nelson filed this week.
"By designing this product to promote hate and violence toward homosexuality, because such product is promoted as being the ‘authentic word of God,’ it is a design defect," says Fowler’s lawsuit.
Seems reasonable. I mean if there were another book that had done the kind of damage to the population of this planet as the Bible it would have been taken out of production centuries ago.
Of course the Bible does have many positive and uplifting messages as well, but can't we all agree that the hate filled portions are no longer defensible in this more enlightened age?
