Do you only read part of the religious book?

Oh, good lord: the usual "I'm not homophobic, but..." comments. Yeah, the Bible teaches "lying with another man..." is a sin, but so is wearing a cotton/poly blend (Lev 19:19). Hell, it teaches that disobedient children should be put to death,  that the "Tattoo Lifestyle" is a sin, but that keeping slaves isn't. Clearly, some sins are more equal than others. And if being gay is an "Alternative Lifestyle," than who leads "The Heterosexual Lifestyle?" Paris Hilton? O.J.? Larry Craig? Cher?

  I am very, very sad for those of you who claim to be Christian and yet do not know your Bible's history, and who clearly have never read a single history book. Same-sex love has been around as long as we have. The Bible, including its condemnations, was written by people, with political agendas. O do you just believe what people tell you to because they are at the head of the room in a robe passing out the wine and bread? Because I've got a loaf and a bottle of merlot right now.

Invoking Religion/faith  isn’t just for conservatives anymore

You don’t have to be Christian to know the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do to you. In fact, scholars note that it is the one precept common to all major faith traditions. But in his interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts on Wednesday, President Obama cited the Golden Rule as found in Matthew 7:12 when describing the role his Christian faith played in leading him to support same-sex marriage.

“When we think about our faith,” he explained, “the thing at root that we think about is not only Christ sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it’s also the Golden Rule. . . . Treat others the way you would want to be treated.” 

Announcing to the nation that he thinks that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry wasn’t the first time Obama has linked his Protestant beliefs to his support for specific policies. In his address at the National Prayer Breakfast this year, he credited his faith for inspiring policies as diverse as funding for medical research and eliminating tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. “Living by the principle that we are our brother’s keeper [and] caring for the poor and those in need,” Obama said, are values “that have defined my own faith journey.”

 The Bible has been used to justify a lot of really disgusting things, and eventually we somehow managed to conveniently ignore the passages that talk about slavery, rape, murder and subjugating women (among other delightful fare).
