This is curious. A little while ago, I posted a screen shot from Minnesota for Marriage which started with that tired old quote from Leviticus about men lying with men, along with some comments which affirmed the sentiment therein. It looked like this:
Now they’re claiming they were hacked.
Joe also includes the text of a message posted on their wall:
Good Morning – Last night our Deputy Campaign Manager, Andy Parrish’s personal email, Facebook, and Twitter accounts were hacked by an individual who posted the Leviticus verse below. We are currently working with Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, and Apple to see who hacked Andy’s account and who posted this message. Clearly we would never advocate for anyone to be put to death – We strongly believe that people are entitled to love whomever they choose, but they are not entitled to redefine marriage for all of society.
Hi, wingnuts, specifically Andy Parrish and the rest of the M4M crew? We need to have a little chit-chat. Ready?
You either believe that crap or you don’t. YOU DON’T GET TO HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.
Since there is no reason beyond animus, most of which is derived from your reading of the Bible, for you folks at Minnesota for Marriage to be fighting to hurt gay families in your state, you need to be prepared to own up to your actual beliefs.
If you were, indeed, hacked, as you say you were, that “hacker” simply posted one of your six favorite Bible verses. That’s it! You don’t get to whine about what victims you are.
You all claim to have some sort of direct line to your version of the Almighty, whom you believe to have divinely and inerrantly inspired your Bible, including that verse. So if you were hacked, you shouldn’t be mad, simply because your true beliefs were exposed. If you’re just trying to save face because of the backlash you’re experiencing, well then, that’s a different situation entirely, and we should be talking about why you’re too weak-willed to be honest about your beliefs.
Hacked or not, this is a revelatory moment, and it’s the reason so many people defect away from your side of the culture wars every single day.
Just curious, what’s the icon of the pig wrapped in the American flag mean? Isn’t that unclean?
Aha! So when they spout Leviticus 20:13, they don’t actually *mean* it when it says to put Gays to death? When they spout their ‘Sodom and Gomorrah’ story they don’t actually *mean* it to say that God hates us so much that He carpet-bombed two entire cities because of us?
I call utter BS – the people who support this hate-group spout those stories ALL THE TIME – and now they’re going to start saying ‘well that doesn’t actually mean what it says’??
Oh no – they aren’t getting away with this one.
That old book says lots of crazy things (stoning your disobedient children… Lots of killing in the Bible god’s name.)
Christians just look the other way and pretend the parts that are completely immoral don’t exist, or mean something different, or are taken out of context, or it’s God’s logic (which you’re not supposed to question.) Christians find what is politically important to them and then those particular passages become incredibly important to them.
Nope, you can’t just pretend the bad parts don’t exist… and they won’t as they continue to loose ground.
Chuck: And pretend they do. Until it is convenient to “resurrect” them, that is! The holey babble is a melange of bronze-age stories and gobbledygook that accreted over time and has taken on undeserved importance by the unexamining mind. When you are within the religious cult though, it appears very different and the peer pressure not to question can be enormous. You can’t expect rational thought from religion that eschews common sense and the scientific method.
Where is the twitter account we need to go check that out.
Uh huh. “Hacked”. Riiiight…
