You know what? I'm sick of Christians, Mormons, and other religious people telling me that I'm going to burn in hell. Honestly, they are too. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the bible say NOT TO JUDGE, and LOVE EVERYONE (basically.)? And it also amuses me, because they're actually only listening to what their Pastor, Father, etc are telling them.
"Homophobic fundamentalists often quote two particular verses that seem to be against gay people. These two verses, both of which appear in the book of Leviticus, are . . .
"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination." (Leviticus 18:22)
and . . .
"If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them." (Leviticus 20:13)
Below, we'll take a look at other scripture verses that are in the exact same book (Leviticus) as the above verse. This exercise proves that those preachers who are so enthusiastic about quoting the book of Leviticus to affirm their personal prejudice against people who are gay or lesbian become awfully quiet when it comes to other verses that appear in the very same book.
Remember, this isn't about faith whatsoever. It's about people who have pre-existing anti-gay prejudice in their hearts. They choose the Christian Bible as the tool with which they attempt to affirm and legitimize that pre-existing prejudice.
Sadly, the truth is that they just don't like gay people.
An "abomination?"
Fundamentalists also like to use Leviticus 18:22 to justify their anti-gay prejudice. That verse says, "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination." Perhaps you have heard some people refer to gay people as an "abomination." They get the idea directly from Leviticus 18:22. But did you know...
"But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you." (Leviticus 11:10)
- The Bible says that eating shrimp and lobster is an abomination:
"They (shellfish) shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination." (Leviticus 11:11)
"Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales; that shall be an abomination to you." (Leviticus 11:12)
Ironic, huh? God doesn't hate fags like me. Actually, this reminds me of an interesting story. One night, after coming home from my best friend's (Let's call her Betty Gwen Jemima Cuntlicker, or just Betty.) house, I discovered 40+ bibles on my front porch. Each had a note attached by a rubber band. "You're going to hell." "Abomination." "God hates fags." etc. Well, that's okay, bitches. I held a bonfire in my backyard that night. And I didn't feel bad about it.
Another thing, the bible says God loves everyones, and we are all equal.
It doesn't say that we are all equal... Unless you're gay. That's just something people didn't want to see at the time. Well, sorry fuckers. We're here to fucking stay.
