This explains everything. Wingnuts are simply reading a different text from the rest of the population:
I can totally see Tony Perkins, Linda Harvey and all the rest of the hatemongers who oppose us reading that passage and taking great comfort from it.
They’re currently “editing” the Bible to make it more conservative: http://conservapedia.com/Conservative_Bible_Project
Ugh…
Right on! I will never understand how they call themselves Christians.
Unkind Bigots the lot of them.
I thought the King James Bible was the infallible word of God.
Apparently not, as the fundies think it still needs a little ‘tweaking’ so as to exclude progressive, liberal, compassionate people.
So does that mean they will be removing all references to Jesus then? His ‘lifestyle’ of a travelling, poor, progressive rabble-rouser was exactly the kind that Bryan Fister and Rush Limpballs regularly rail against.
The right’s arrogance, willful ignorance and bald-faced hypocracy never fail to utterly astound me.
God speaks directly to Michelle Bachmann, so maybe she is adding in the sections that God needed her, his messenger, to deliver. They are as follows: abolish capital gains taxes, abolish the EPA/DOJ/DOE/WIC/DHS/DHS/State Department, and quadruple the Defense Budget, identify Reagan as Saint Reagan, make all impoverished people pay all income tax (great incentive to not be impoverished), make June 28th Slay-A-Gay Day, and all Republicans should resign from the race and allow Michelle Bachmann to run unopposed.
Harry,
Does that mean we get to crucify Michelle Bachmann eventually?
The irony is if Jesus ever does come back the way they keep saying he will (“any day now” since 1 A.D.) they would crucify him all over again because they would insist he was a fake, what with all the talk of love, compassion, forgiveness, giving, caring for the sick and poor, and other such liberal hoo-hah.
It’s true… evangelical Christians, along with the elite class, and many lesser rulers and priests of Catholicism, and the Christian cult and splinter groups; Mormans, Jehovah Witnesses, Westboro Baptists et al are the modern equivalent of NT Pharisees and Sadducees.
None of them would recognize Jesus if he were to show up in their midst.
Jesus may be the frontman for RW Christianity, but they get all of their “deeply held beliefs” from Leviticus and the epistles of Paul.
Buffy…
the new testament is for me.
The old testament is for you.
i’d change only one thing, instead of “you were naked,” to “you were gay” because that’s their creed in the conservative republican circles.
