Gay rights within the template of religion proves flaws in "religion"

[Esquilax]

Let's imagine for a moment Jesus really existed and came back in modern times. Would he hold the confederate flag for slavery?

You do understand that the New Testament literally contains the words "slaves obey your Masters," right?

Would he stone gays?

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone..."

Did Jesus ever specifically correct the oppressive commandments about gays in the old testament? I mean, you'd think if he gave a shit that'd be the first thing on his agenda.

Do you think he would beat his wife if he had one? Do you think he would scold/ deny her permission if she wanted to . . . Become a scholar, wanted a degree, get a job. Would he beat her.

NO! He wouldn't do any of that. THAT'S what we are to live by.

How do you know?

Seriously, how do you know any of that beyond your own sense of wishful thinking? It's not mentioned in the book, you've got no set of reference or justification for your claims here, and worse, even if you did have passages in the bible to point to, those don't mean a damn thing.

Because the bible was not written by anyone who had even a passing relationship with Jesus.

For all your claims of christianity being about following christ and nothing else, you're basing your view of what christ was like from a set of books written decades after his death, by people who never met him and are, in fact, anonymous, that has been translated and edited and pared down and altered so many times over the years... It's not even hearsay. It's stories made up about a dude who might not even have existed, by people who never even saw him if he did, that we know have been altered over time.

And you're willing to take that as an accurate representation of what the guy thinks?
