When I call them out on it, they inform me that they aren\u2019t calling me an evil sinner, God is through the Bible. Well shit, that\u2019s much better. I\u2019m sure glad they weren\u2019t judging me.<\/p>\n<p>This is just a typical Christian passive\/aggressive attack. When they presume to speak for their deity, they are just pushing their own opinions\u2026 unless they are claiming to know the mind of God\u2026 which they always tell me that we can\u2019t know because we are mere mortals and evil sinners and stuff.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of the Bible is that you can pretty much justify anything with it. If you want to support slavery, there are verses for that. If you want to speak out against slavery, there are verses for that too. If you support murder, you can easily find verses for that and if you want to oppose murder, there are verses for that too. There are verses both for and against rape, stealing, abortion, fascism, etc. There are verses for and against peace, love, and compassion too. The Bible really is a mirror to the soul\u2026 to use the old clich\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>So when a Christian bases his or her opinion on the Bible, it is not God\u2019s opinion but their own. If a Christian claims that God considers homosexuality a sin, then it is really that Christian who is intolerant of gays. There are plenty of verses every Christian ignores so there is no reason why they can\u2019t ignore the anti-gay verses in the same way they ignore the women are property verses. I\u2019m just say\u2019n.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/unreasonablefaith.com\/2011\/09\/21\/bigots-and-the-bible\/\">Bigots and the Bible<\/a> (unreasonablefaith.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/goddamblog.com\/2011\/09\/26\/dont-judge-me\/\">Don&#8217;t Judge Me!<\/a> (goddamblog.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.atheistrev.com\/2011\/08\/christians-mailing-bible-verses-to.html\">Christians Mailing Bible Verses to Grieving Strangers<\/a> (atheistrev.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=66e4c3a5-d9cc-4302-94a2-9331a2eaeace\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"linkwithin_hook\" id=\"http:\/\/www.dangeroustalk.net\/?p=2523\"><\/div><script>\n<!-- \/\/LinkWithinCodeStart\nvar linkwithin_site_id = 317364;\nvar linkwithin_div_class = \"linkwithin_hook\";\n\/\/LinkWithinCodeEnd -->\n<\/script>\n<script src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/widget.js\"><\/script>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.linkwithin.com\/pixel.png\" alt=\"Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...\" style=\"border: 0\" \/><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really do hate when religious believers tell me that they don\u2019t judge people and then proceed to call those who don\u2019t believe in their ridiculous beliefs evil sinners.
