So, in the last week, the God Squad (of the Christian variety) have been hitting the headlines over that old chesnut of ‘Homosexuality’. Many things have been said about the conflicting rights of someone’s freedom of speech(conscience/opinion) Vs. someone’s right to be protected from ‘offense’. As I have said before, it doesn’t matter what you say about anything, someone, somewhere, will take offense and so I will always take the side of freedom of speech, even if I don’t agree with what’s being said. The only exception to this is if someone is using their right to free speech to harm others, for example;
Okay - To say that homosexuality is a sin and/or abnormal.
Not okay - To say that all homosexuals should be killed, because they’re sinners.
Personally, I don’t see why Team Christ are getting all upset over the poofs & Lesbos, I think there are more pressing matters to be dealing with.....
Leviticus 11:7-8, states that we should not eat the flesh of Swine as it is unclean. How many people do you see each day eating a ham or bacon sarnie? What about the Supermarkets who openly promote joints of Pork for a Sunday roast – Sunday, the fucking Lord’s day!!
Leviticus 11:10-11, states that basically Shell-fish are an abomination and shouldn’t be eaten and if popular cultural stereotypes are to be believed, possibly millions of Australians are evil sinners!!
Leviticus 12:6, There must be millions of Women giving birth every day and yet when was the last time you saw a new Mother take a year old lamb and a pigeon to her local priest?! The dirty bitches!!
Leviticus 23:6, How many thousands of people eat from a loaf of Hovis or Kingsmill between the 15th & 22nd of January every year? And I bet some of those unclean fuckers even throw a slice of Ham between a couple of slices!!
Deuteronomy 20:10-14, Why haven’t the tens of thousands of Troops in Iraq killed all the male Iraqi’s yet and why aren't they using swords? Cause they’re all sinners!!!!!
Exodus 22:19, Again, if popular stereotypes are to be believed, there must be thousands of sinners in Wales & Cornwall!!
Matthew 5:32 & Luke 16:18, What about all the adulterers? In England & Wales in 2008, there were over 120,000 divorces and over 11,000 single men married divorced women – that’s at least 130,000 sinners!!
Leviticus 12:3, There are about 3,000,000,000 males on the planet over the age of 8 days, what percentage do you reckon are sinners?!!
Then again, we could all just mind our own business.....
Romans 14:10 – But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ.....
