| Soundwave said: So basically, Leviticus is bunk. I went to Catholic school for 10 years. The whole thing is a mess, but it's basically just "lulz, don't believe the crazy stuff in the beginning, Jesus means all that stuff can be bypassed". It's just a bizarre middle eastern philosophy that even the Romans who co-opted it to try and keep their Empire going realized was full of too much crazy stuff that it had to be streamlined or bypassed entirely to be paltable to Roman society. Jesus I don't believe even said anything about homosexuality or 10393938 other things, which is a bit bizarre being as how if its such a big deal you would think he could take 2 minutes to talk about it. |
I see your point. I respect atheists that say "I do not believe in God, period".
But when people say "I hate God because he forbids me to eat shellfish" then I am compeled to explain that the God christians believe is the one that the Holy Bible, all 66 books combined, tell about. If you take a single verse it does not show the whole history.
But I understand that you does not care about that, you do not believe, period. But it is unfair to say something that the Holy Bible clearly does not say. It is a book that tells the history of mankind and the plan of Salvation.
You can not believe, of course, but to say it is because of shellfish is just not true.
It is like me saying that all gay people want to sodomize little children, it would be simply untrue and unfair, it would be dishonest.
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
