Wicked, Covetous, Back-biting Fornicators!!

[boobooday]

This is from a very scary editorial in a little paper in Alabama, where apparently the most frightening thing they can think of is homosexuality.

"neither fornicators, not idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind ... shall inherit the kingdom of God." I Corinthians 6:9-10

<snip>

The actions of these people were listed along with other practices that are still considered sin: fornication, wickedness, covetousness, murder, backbiters, haters of God, proud, despiteful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without natural affection, unmerciful... (ellipses his)

"Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them." Romans 1:32.

So we have fornication twice. Hmmm. I looked it up -- I didn't know it meant "sleeping with prostitutes."

Does this psycho realize he just endorsed the execution of children for disobedience? The death penalty for masturbation? Do they realize that in their scheme, Neil Bush should be first in line, because he is really a wicked, covetous, backbiting fornicator? I think that would put him ahead of their Satan substitute, Clinton. After Neil is executed "with pleasure" I guess the rest of us might as well get in line.

He also emphasizes the whole "inheritance" thing. To these people, Heaven is just like winning the lottery. It's the limit of their imagination.

Anyway, I don't remember much from Sunday school, but I thought, what hateful people, to filter out all the most heinous stuff from the bible and CHOOSE THAT as your guide, when you could have written a column full of all the beautiful, wise and tolerant passages.

But no. The bigots are issuing a call to arms!!! What will they do if the rumor about Ricky turns out to be true? Will he lost his "inheritance?"

1. Christian Reconstructionists advocate the death penaty for rebellious

teenagers, as well as for many other things.

They want to use the Bible as the basis for the justice system just like the Muslims want to use Sharia for civil law.

2. i always liked the

"judge not, lest ye be judged" stuff a lot better. Oh, and the Golden Rule. That stuff's not so important to the fundies though, they'd rather go hunting for dinosaurs in Genesis.

3. Dinosaurs?

You mean 'Jesus Horses'?
