You can eat jumbo shrimp and fight for peace while wearing it.

I don't get this part.
I know little to nothing about Westboro, and I'd like to keep it that way, but do they not just follow the definition of "sin" as in the Bible here?

Yeah, and the bible calls everyone sinners. So the fact that they can picket someone who is essentially doing "their work" (Kim Davis), who is actually a reformed Christian (Kim Davis), means that they see themselves is infallible and not as sinners. ie an exception. They sin too, and they know it. The same sins that she does. She's one of them. Even down to the "homopromiting" or whatever they called it. Their "God hates fags" signs have the exact same countering result as Kim Davis' actions do.

I'm not religious at all, I'm just calling them (WBC) hypocrites among hypocrites. It's like... Davis is a hypocrite, but they are double nested hypocrites.

Sinception.

These loons are going to be picketing tonight's Blue Jays-Royals game because Canada has same-sex marriage equality.

Oh noes!


Seriously, how much noise can they make compared to an Arena full of sports fans?

[Irvine511]

I've seen them firsthand and even snapped a selfie next to a guy holding a "repent or perish" sign.

They are pathetic and small. There were maybe 7 of them. Not to be taken seriously in any way.

In case you were wondering, I chose "perish."

The Next Time Someone Uses The Bible To Say Homosexuality Is A Sin, Show Them This.

Not sure how much of this is true, but it is a rather amusing read.

[bono_212]

As I've mentioned in the past, not to sound like a broken record, but it's true in a sense.

It's certainly amusing to point at Lev. and the law and show Christians to be hypocrites for a variety of reasons beyond the obvious. The thing is, though, that the Old Law does not exactly apply to Christianity as a religion. It's a code to try and follow, but it's not the basis of rules for Christianity, but it is for Judaism. Or at least to my understanding it is.

So, once the Old Law was "fulfilled" by Jesus' sacrificial death, basically Paul's writings became the new guide to how to live in this new era.

To that effect: Paul still referred to homosexuality as a sin, whereas he went at length to explain why the food stuff is no longer a sin if you didn't already practice those customs. Specifically he says, " “The faith that you have, have as your own conviction before God. Blessed are those who have no reason to condemn themselves because of what they approve. But those who have doubts are condemned if they eat, because they do not act from faith;for whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.”

But again: It's a guide. It's not black and white, because nothing ever is, except to try and trust in Jesus / God. There's more in this article, actually, which is pretty decent if you're interested: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/mercyno...omans-1413-23/

So, anyways, sorry to ruin your joke. I do find it funny. This is just one of those things that constantly irritates me .

[Galeongirl]

That is interesting indeed. You didn't ruin anything, I already had a feeling there was more to it than just the old testament. Though that line you say Paul said could be interested in different ways too. I mean, if I honestly believe I'm doing the right thing by being myself, one could call that an act of faith too. So if I'm acting out of my own faith, it is not a sin, right?

[bono_212]

That's the grey difficult line to read.

Christianity is, in my interpretation, more about faith, doing charitable works, and being humble, than it is about keeping an itemized list of right and wrong, or judging others lists of right and wrong. It's a really personal faith that also relies on community for guidance, but ultimately comes down to the individual and their relationship with God.

So, yeah, the people that holds up the signs and claim God's judgement? They couldn't have it more wrong in my eyes.

Romans 1:25-26
"For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

I Corinthians 6:9-10
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
And lastly, Jude 1:7 "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire."

Does this give Christians the right to hate homosexuals? Obviously not. But I think scripture paints a brutal, yet clear, image of not only homosexuality, but all unrepentant sin. Many will argue that homosexuality is worse than other sexual sins due to the fact that it is believed by many to be a perversion of God's plan and being contrary to nature. But this is not the time nor the place for that debate.

[BVS]

Those are pretty crappy interpretations, the term "homosexuality" does not show up in any of the original languages used in the original text.

And the first needs context; it's not about the acts but the free for all that took place.
