The people of Lot? Sodom? Pompeii??

RE: The people of Lot? Sodom? Pompeii??
That 'sin' was knocking on Lot's door and he was sinless inside is laughable.

And everyone knows the JFK assassination was an homage to Lincoln.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

So Donald Trump in a nutshell?

You had to make it political didn't you? Seems like when people don't have religion in their lives, they elevate politics into the role normally served by religion. Just a general observation; it may not apply directly to you.

As Professor Israel Finkelstein writes here in "The Bible Unearthed" these bullshit stories served political/social purposes.  They are in the fucking text for a reason and that reason has nothing to do with any silly-assed 'god.'

A pretty compelling argument could be made that the biblical bitching and moaning about homosexuality could be a similar shot at the Greeks who, after 332 BC played an increasingly dominant role in the region.  They successfully divided the population between "hellenized jews" and what we can call "fundamentalists."

The Romans did not even consider it pornography.  They simply were not as sexually repressed as these Angry Desert God motherfuckers.

I think a lot of porn acted as a menu of available things at brothels, remember Pompei was a port and sailors who visited may not have spoken latin so they just pointed at what they wanted.
I'll 2 number 7s and a 69.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

But the anti-immigrant crowd thinks they are fine xtians.

Biblical hospitality was only for the Israelites/Hebrews/Jews.  Gentiles were not included.

The Bible uses angels in a military sense.  They are more soldiers than anything else.

Quote:King James Bible

And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

Somehow "Lot" knew they were angels and not PFCs.

Don't forget Genesis 3:24 (TLB) = "24 Thus God expelled him, and placed mighty angels at the east of the Garden of Eden, with a flaming sword to guard the entrance to the Tree of Life."
