"Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, committed abomination before me; therefore I took them away as I saw good."
And before the christers here jump on 'abomination', I'd note that refers to idolatry. I'd also wonder why the Genesis Sodom stuff is trotted out by supposed recruiters for the faith when the Ezekiel passage just sows the seeds of doubt by not backing up the earlier version.
Please, I admonish the christer community, to PLEASE not lead with their bible 'edicts' that are not consistent throughout scripture, it is better to not confuse the recruits too soon in their conversions lest they realize they are being sold a load of baloney. Leave the fucked up conflicting stuff till AFTER they've tithed, not before.
Sheesh, this stuff should be fucking obvious, and it seems to always come down to me to help the christers do their work correctly. Can't god whisper in their ears all this religion 101 stuff ?? Or even better, the movement could send out representatives that can noodle out how best to do it on their own in the first place ??
Just so we're clear, what is the exact point you're trying to make?
