Right so I have to respect this because it's deeply held by someone. Okay by that logic we should respect the deeply held beliefs of ISIS or Neo Nazi's after all there deeply held. Sorry I don't care how deeply bigotry is held it's not worthy of respect.

It is EXCEEDINGLY difficult to discern a person holding "deeply held religious belief" via observing their behaviors.  The usual way we have of knowing someone is "so afflicted" is by their declaring it.

And curiously, Scripture itself gives us actual signs to watch for, and it is my "sincerely held belief" that those asserting sincerely held beliefs regarding Jesus, NT, OT, etc, will/should/shall/always manifest that sincerity of belief by an ability to speak in tongues, to heal all manner of infirmities by a simple laying on of the hands, the ability to imbibe any deadly thing without harm, and to handle deadly serpents and not die.

So, how many folks really do have "deeply held beliefs" ??

Probably deep in the closet himself.

Anyway.... he got the message.

A San Luis Obispo High School teacher has resigned in the face of widespread outrage over a letter he wrote to the school student newspaper that cited a Biblical passage saying those who commit homosexual acts “deserve to die.”


Probably end up at a jesus freak school somewhere because they love motherfuckers like this.

hmmm, as always, I wonder could he pass a polygraph exam that explores just how sincerely held these beliefs are ?

They find ways to push those beliefs deeper. I think you are the man for the job Vorlie.

probing viscera for deeply held religious beliefs would be a new level of kink for me . . . . .

This is a clear sign that the only thing keeping christianity from being just as bad as islam is secular laws holding them back. There is a lot of hate between christians and muslims, despite that there is little to nothing that muslims have done to people that christians haven't also done to people in the past.

What, bigoted asshattery?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
