    That pretty much sums it up right?

    HT: Friendly Atheist Havens Corners Church in Ohio has a marquee sign reacting to Katy Perry's new song, "I Kissed A Girl" Well, that pretty much sums it up for several religions doesn't it? It's pretty blunt, but essentially that's what it boils down to. As the good pastor himself points out in an eloquent syllogism (paraphrasing here): Homosexuality is a sin Sinning leads to hell Therefore, homosexuality leads to hell It really is that simple. If you really and truly believe that homosexuality is a sin, then you should agree with the church's marquee. Maybe you would have phrased it a different way or shaded it a bit with more nuanced/sophisticated language, but if you boil it down, that is ultimately what you are saying. And frankly, it is ridiculous. 0 comments: Post a Comment Newer Post Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) SAMEDAYMUSIC

    Christian Fundamentalists Define Loving

    I think part of the conflict we call the cultural war is caused by sides using different meanings of words. For instance, us progressives think that when two people care about each other deeply and want to get married that would be loving. Pastor Dave Allison however thinks this is loving. Why anyone would want to worship a god that hates love is an exercise left to the reader. Hat tip to Friendly Atheist
