I'd like to see someone use the "the bible says it's ok" defence in court and see how far that gets them.

Or hell, the innumerable priests and pastors that justified slavery for over a century with the Bible.
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.

While searching for Christianity and their views on spousal rape I found this gem.

Literally wanted to vomit.

I thought Landover Baptist is a parody site?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

I always thought that this New Testament verse was a little rapey, for lack of a better word.

Quote:The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not rule over her own body, but the husband does; likewise the husband does not rule over his own body, but the wife does. Do not refuse one another except perhaps by agreement for a season, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, lest Satan tempt you through lack of self-control. (1 Corinthians 7:3-5 RSV)

Husbands and wives do not own each others bodies. I could see how someone could use this verse to guilt someone into sex.

Sadly I found a news article that said essentially the same thing two pages into a google search.

Oh nutty Christian websites cite Landover all the time. It's almost what Landover was created for, to demonstrate that an abusrd parody of equally absurd beliefs is hard to distinguish, even by the holders of those beliefs.
