Transphobic, homophonic, xenophobic.
Approximately 88% of congress identifies as Christian. Does that mean we need to get rid of most Democrats & Biden too since they are Christians who discriminate against LGBTQ+ people?
You are making a false equivalency between “being Christian” and “being a bigot”. While there is a high correlation, particularly with some denominations of Christianity, they are not synonymous. (Heck, I’ve seen some religious groups at my local Pride celebrations for years.)
Presumably you’re aware of this.
Ask them if they believe the Bible and even the New Testament to be the word of God. If they say yes, then they are either liars or not true followers of their religion.
Where in the bible does it say homosexuality is a sin? It doesn’t which is why some religious folk are cool with LGBT.
Are you serious? These are just two verses in the New Testament. However, those are just as it relates to homosexuality. The Bible is also anti-trans, anti-abortion, against women’s rights, and against sex outside of marriage. There is a reason many Republicans are the way they are.
Romans 1:26–27:
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10:
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Expecting Christians to follow a given text to the letter will always be setting yourself up for failure. Not only do people pick and choose the doctrine they follow (or more often have it picked and chosen for them by their spiritual leader), different traditions have different emphasis and even different texts they’re operating off of. Expecting an legalistic following of a specific interpretation will leave you expecting far different behavior that most of your observations will show.
People bend over backwards to try to argue that the Bible doesn’t say what it does. If you want to argue that a book that is the basis for christian’s overwhelming homophobic views was just misinterpreted, then nothing in the book has any meaning. You could say the correct interpretation of the Bible is Jesus was really a talking rat born out of inbred to his 13 year old sister mom.
Yes, but people aren’t ready for that talk
Exactly… Democrats & Republicans both enable the very same organizations that promote anti-LGBTQ+ attitudes. They’ve allowed cults to take over America.
