Blame God
God hates gay people, not me. I can say that God said it and bear no responsibility for my own actions or opinions. God said it, not me. It?s not my fault! That way, anything I disagree with or am uncomfortable with I can blame on God.
When I vote, I do what God ?tells? me to do. It?s not my fault that men interpreted the bible to advance their own political agenda. I just read what is put in front of me, without investigating the history or origins of the original text. I like to read one verse and throw out the rest of the laws in Leviticus and Exodus, in order to advance my own agenda. I read the NIV. God said it. I believe it. That settles it!
Two consenting adults DO NOT deserve to decide what?s best for them. It?s up to me to make that decision for them. After all, they are sinners. They are clouded with sin. I mean come on! I?m the one that found God! Therefore, I should know what?s best for them.
I like to quote Leviticus 18:22 "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; such thing is an abomination."
But I like to ignore other laws, such as:
Exodus 21:7 "When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go free as male slaves do."
Exodus 35:2 "On six days work may be done, but the seventh day shall be sacred to you as the sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Anyone who does work on that day shall be put to death."
Leviticus 11:7 "and the pig, which does indeed have hoofs and is cloven-footed, but does not chew the cud and is therefore unclean for you.
8Their flesh you shall not eat, and their dead bodies you shall not touch; they are unclean for you." Even though I like football!
God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve! Even though I can't seem to come up with a logical reason why homosexuality is wrong, I'm still going to believe it is wrong because I don't understand it and I believe EVERYTHING I read in the bible.
Why should I question it? I'm not that insecure in my faith. God's not going to fall off the throne if I question Him! Will He?
