Stop dismissing the concerns raised by the members of this forum by appealing to the idea that "things were different back then". We know this. What you fail to realize is that we don't care; we think they were immoral then, and we think it's the same amount of immoral now. The question is, do you feel the same, or are you going to continue defending rapists of the past by putting a theocratic spin on it?
Remember that Drippy's goal here is to get his god off the hook. He doesn't care about the victims or justice or any such concepts. If his god looks like a dick then he looks like a dick and that is something that jesus freaks simply cannot allow.
They need to maintain the fiction that their petty, vile, murderous, vindictive, sexist, god is "good." Once they figure out a way to tell themselves that they go "phew...dodged a bullet," even if it hits them right between the eyes.
I like fiction. I wouldn't read that story if someone presented it as that...I would get through the and god created and shut the damn thing and never look back...Makes it ten times worse they present it as though it is all real.
My gerbil is more real than most of these idiots. Just because you believe doesn't make you an idiot. That part comes in when you blindly and willfully ignore the lack of reason one displays in order to actually believe that kind of drivel.
