I don't know that it is emi. Maybe Ali could give us the link to the crap it posted on Yahoo if she has i.

But it consistently:

Shows a lack of reading comprehension that can only be deliberate

  • Refuses to answer questions
  • Refuses to cite sources to back up outrageous claims
  • Slings insults which are seldom heard outside the boundaries of a grade-school playground

A troll is as a troll does.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

They never explain why they think you're wrong, they just play victim.

"You hurt me! I'm offended! How dare you say that!"
Some who believe in Biblical literalism find sanction for their anti-homosexuality there, but selectively ignore Biblical injunctions to execute people who work on the Sabbath (Exodus 35:2) and to crack down on those who get haircuts (Leviticus 19:27) or who wear clothes with more than one kind of thread (19:19). There's no Biblical mention of lesbianism--are we to think that male homosexuality is wrong but female homosexuality is not?

Are you familiar with the passing of the Old Covenant and Jesus ushering in the new one?

In the case of marriage Jesus carefully defines what marriage entails in Matthew 19:4-6


There's no Biblical mention of lesbianism--are we to think that male homosexuality is wrong but female homosexuality is not?

When the Bible condemns homosexuality, or any other sin, it doesn't differentiate between male and female versions.

So what your saying is the first book was the word of God then he changed his mind and wrote a whole new version through Jesus.

I always think it's funny when religious zealots talk about the new and old covenants when discussing EVERY SINGLE PASSAGE IN LEVITICUS except the one about homosexuality. LOL LOL LOL

And, you're right - there is no mention of lesbianism in the Bible - only translations about "men lying with men"

Since the Bible does make a clear differentiation between what is acceptable from a man and what is acceptable from a woman, it makes sense that a passage about women 'lying with women' would have been in there if it was considered a sin.
