    meanwhile, my family: “just don’t be gay for the next 3 and a half years, we don’t need to leave”

    … Right, I’m sure they definitely leave office as scheduled and I’m sure with how quickly things are progressing I’ll still be around to see them do so. Yep. Definitely. 👍

    ws:Bible (King James)/Leviticus#Chapter 20

    12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.

    13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

    14 And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you.

    It says nothing about women who have sex with women, or men having sex with men while in a standing (or perhaps seated) position. Also, Leviticus doesn’t use the word “homosexual” or “homosexuality” much less condemn it.

    This fake-preacher lies about what the Bible says.

      Be careful, you’ll upset the “real christians”, who will tell you about how this person is a “fake”, because Jesus said “love thy neighbor”, and all the other things in the Bible “don’t count” for some reason.

      Religion is an endemic mental illness. I’d say people should keep it to themselves and once they leave their house, I don’t want to hear anything about it, or it’s off to the mental institution.

        No, religion as a concept is incompatible with civilized life. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism etc. all make human life on earth objectively worse. Whether they are the origin or just an outlet for human depravity doesn‘t matter, they all need to be left in the past. Or the past with all its wars and suffering will not leave us.

          Nonsense. They also uplift people and do a lot of good in the world. Billions of people find benefits in religion. The problem is human nature.

    Why single out gays? It also says to kill adulterers, stubborn children, women who aren’t virgins when they marry, people who work on the Sabbath, and mediums who talk to the dead.

    Well MY BIBLE says anyone with the sur name Falco was intended to be fertilizer, not a person with rights or opinions.

    See how that doesn’t work you heartless moronic ghouls?

    My supervisor is a lesbian who proudly introduces people to her wife, and she is as rabid a Trumper as I’ve ever met. I’ve tried to introduce her to the “Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party” concept but she doesn’t understand the point. She has somehow concluded that it is Republicans who have fought for and won gay rights (like the right to marry that she’s a beneficiary of) while Democrats want to take those rights away. I don’t have any idea how somebody gets to a mental state like that - I can’t accuse her of drinking the Kool-Aid because no Republican media says anything like that.

    She really hates black people so her basic conservative stance is at least understandable. Except that she talks loudly about how she wants to bang the black guy that delivers our water bottles.
