There is a state representative here in Mississippi that quoted scripture from Leviticus on his Facebook page in regards to homosexual marriage, stating "[t]he only opinion that counts is God's." Of course, he was quoting Leviticus 20:13, calling for the death of those committing homosexuality.
A group called Unity MS called for him to apologize, but he refused. Why? Because he will not apologize for "the inspired truth of God's Word". For him, God's inspired word says homosexuals should be killed. It apparently doesn't matter to him that Leviticus is OT law. Oh, and he's a Southern Baptist preacher so that further sweetens the pot.
So, yeah, biblical literalists exist and they would be dangerous if they had free rein to do as they pleased.
If on takes the bible literally then one can not cherry pick passages that support the wickedness in ones heart. One must reconcile the whole book, not just focus on a favorable passage, or that person can not have taken the whole book literally.

I have read the book. Multiple times. And taught adults and children from it. And read other religious texts as well. Your statement doesn't make any sense. How could you not be dangerous even if using it as loose guidelines.
What the hell, are you serious?
If you've read the whole book, may I ask why how is it you do not seem to know what it contains?
It's like you're channeling dead crazy people, who are responding to a different conversation.
I am fully aware of your hate filled middle eastern fantasy novel's contents. And quite frankly Roger Zelazny does it better.
Is there a specific one I'm missing? I own NIV, KJV and NCV.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!

It's always interesting when new members find Drich.

How are you not a Poe or troll? Or rather how did a Poe/troll become a mod?
I did read the artical up till this point:
" While the impetus for McQuilliams’ onslaught remains unclear, local authorities recently announced that he may have been motivated by religion "
Which is where Any Intellectually honest person would stop. Why? Idk, maybe because according to the cops investigating, their was no impetus/motive, only speculation, which this troll/Poe artical spun into a witch hunt for douche bags like you and the op. That is why I've asked you repeatedly what christian command motivated these actions... Seeings how you just now quoted the article, it is far more likly you just read it... And rather poorly I might add.

In that time under that law they were be put to death, but again a true literalist knows we are not in that time under that law.

LOL, hold on..I want to get my shit together here, I'm being lectured about intellectual honesty by Mr. Monkey Man with a Soul.

Dirch the word forger and bender... I doubt anyone could have any good conversation with him without making anything up...but yeah he should have read the article instead of making things up on the spot.

Your serious aren't you?
You mean to say that you really don't know any better?
I've already proven that the author of that artical takes liberties when he labeled the actions of this man as being an act of christian terrorism when infact the investigators only said their May have been a religious component. That means if you seriously want to use any of this hack's work as legitmate source material for your own arguement, you must then find a solid verfiable secondary source to back up his discredited claim.
Everything he said beyond the stated verfiable facts then becomes intelectual garbage. You take his garbage in you have no option but to spew his garbage back out. This garbage I have already dismissed.
Try again rhythm.
