That's literally all I put in the reply. I thought that anything I said probably wouldn't matter, but surely she cared what Jesus had to say since she loves him so much, and all.
Here is the reply she sent to that:
Alei's Aunt Wrote:I'm sorry, but I am afraid that we're going to have to agree to disagree on this. When Jesus said those things it was intended for a world where everyone believed in him like they did back then, not for the world we live in now, when everyone doesn't but needs to. I love you!
now you have your excuse to any bible verse of Christian crap she tries to pull on you.
Use the same excuse she used.
Aunt - "you should worship jesus"
You - "Naw, thats what Jesus intended for the people back then, and has nothing to do with the world we live in today.
Aunt - "homosexuals are evil"
You - "Naw, thats what Jesus intended for the people back then, and has nothing to do with the world we live in today.
Go right ahead and use her excuse. Her excuse will work on ever single verse in the bible.
And if she protests...and she will...just be sure to mention that it is a legitimate excuse, and until Jesus physically shows up right here and right now to straighten out the matter, you will continue to use it.
Then thank your aunt for teaching you that excuse.
...then again, the way you talk about her, you pretty much avoid her anyways, which is probably for the best.
