Nice. Niiiiiiiiiice. Those folks over at M4M sure are loving, and definitely not bigots at all:
I assume that whichever M4M hack is updating their Facebook page is advocating for the Fundamentalist reading of the Bible, the one that involves skimming over all the boring parts about love and caring for the poor, and then reading anything that pertains to sex in your scariest voice possible, while possibly making spooky shadow-puppets on the wall, and then highlighting the names of any animals you’re not familiar with and interpreting them as “dinosaurs.”
Educated people, these.

G******n it. How many more of us are going to get shot in the head before these a******s STFU with the violent rhetoric?
Unlike that other Steve, David has actually read the Bible
I still chuckle over the whole M4M thing they’ve got going there. Dear Minnesotans4Marriage – the Bible isn’t the law of the land. You don’t get to use those rules to levy civil or criminal punishment in a secular society. And you’d better be oh so f-ing grateful for that, because most of you hypocrites would end up under piles of rocks.
I would sooner throw the Bible in the fire than pay attention to all this Bible bull.
These things should all be part of the ads against the amendment. And the religious leaders (Nienstadt) who support the amendment should be nailed in interviews and articles and reports as well.
It is folly to give the right wing free play with the Bible. Their method of picking and choosing which verses to apply and which to ignore is unsound and anti-christian. Christ came to represent a God of love not a God of hate. The Bible does not support the anti-gay position that the right wing claims. They have done to Biblical interpretation what Paul Cameron did to social science. Do a web search on – clobber passages – for sites on this topic. Several well written books can be found that also refute the right-wings twisting of the Bible.
[...] is curious. A little while ago, I posted a screen shot from Minnesota for Marriage which started with that tired old quote from Leviticus [...]
We are no longer under the law, we are under grace. This penalty is part of the law. Anyone who claims to be a Christian–but refuses to acknowledge this important point–is in reality a servant of Satan.
It doesn’t say that anywhere in the bible Michael. In fact Jesus says the opposite, not one jot not one tittle of the law shall fail until the universe comes to an end.
Sorry Michael, but I’m an Atheist and not under any kind of “grace,” whatever that is.
My Constitution guarantees me separation of church and state, freedom of religion and freedom FROM religion, in case you didn’t know that.
As an Atheist, I can’t be a servant of Satan, because there is no Satan.
