Gay Marriage: Why the christians need to STFU about it

[Aegrus]

Some priests rape because they are rapists, and some bishops covered it up to save face. Pope Benedict XVI never did, let alone "the worst offender" as you say. That being said I don't choose the Pope, nor will I ever choose a Pope.

Read the rest of Matthew 5 already. It isn't long and its very good.

I think you'll find that most people on here have read the entire bible. I did, and I didn't find one bit of it to be "good".

The scriptures also say this.

1...stone troublesome teenagers to death.
2...stone adulterers to death
4..stone to death anyone that works on the holy day
5...those that don't work, don't eat
6...those with deficient eyesight must not be allowed near the altar.
7..judge not lest yee be judged.

The Scriptures when taken in their entirety actually ban 1, 2, and 3 (which is why stoning is unknown as a punishment within Christianity or Christian cultures); and 6 is no longer even relevant to the Jews or to the Christians, along with any other laws about the running of the temple, as said temple has been destroyed and sacrifices no longer made since the year 70. In the case that Israel does rebuild the temple, I suppose this question can be reopened.

So the scriptures advocate something. . .and then ban it. Ah, yes. Truly infallible.
