Oh, that part...  Well, homophobia is what the Bible teaches ...  Do you
believe the Bible is the word of God?  Doesn't the Bible tell you to preach
the word of God to others?  By not teaching the word of God, i.e.,
homophobia, as God commanded aren't you rejecting God?

We probably shouldn't get onto the topic of religion, especially
Christianity.  There is so much truly insane stuff in the KJV Bible that
it's hard to believe anyone who says it's the word of God or that it's the
truth.  E.g., eunuchs not being allowed into Heaven (Deuteronomy 23:1-2),
unless you became a eunuch as penance for committing adultery (Matthew
19:1-123), which nullifies one of the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17 and
Deuteronomy 5:4-21) and contradicts the claim that only Jewish virgins go to
Heaven (Revelation 7:3-4, 9:3-4, 14:1, 14:3-4)...  Of course, adulterers are
required to be murdered (Leviticus 20:10-11) also in violation of the Ten
Commandments ...  Does any that make any sense to anyone?  There are many,
many things like that in there.  There are even entire books written on the
topic of such stuff.  Of course, I seriously doubt many Christians are
remotely aware of such things.  They're not known for actually reading their
Bibles, except the parts which represent their ideal Faith, that of
Christianity being purely good, rational, with a loving and caring God.
I.e., they're very selective in what they read and accept as Faith and
Truth.

Hey, don't worry about it.  The Bible tells you to eat your kids too,
preaches women are inferior, preaches racism against blacks, preaches
slavery and also condemns it, told Christians to kill all non-Christians (in
direct contradiction to the Ten Commandments), mentions the other Gods in
Heaven, that Jesus has hatred, that Jesus has siblings, that Jesus has horns
and multiple eyes, that there are talking donkeys, that there are beasts in
heaven, to only pray to God while in a closet, and, of course, that only
Jewish virgins go to Heaven.  Why do non-Jews think they can get into
Heaven?

So, is religion off-topic here too?  It *definately* should be.  Why did no
one take offense to it?
