    Sometime ago some pastors got together and decided to put together a list of the sins most offensive to God according to the Bible. Apparently sex is massively heinous. I don't have a source other than the pastor of a church I sometimes attend said it. I want to say there were 4 total items on the list but I can't remember the rest cos I was making faces. In his defense I do believe him a pious and honest man who really does study not only the Bible but the times in which it was written to give it context.

    No word on what version they read, but there has been some calling into question the actual definition of original language words used - ie, the "no laying with a man" verse that homophobes love to quote may be grossly mistranslated. But hey, fear mongering pays off so let's not kill a cash cow right?

    I think the basic idea is that anything they think you might find more enjoyable than their authority, which they will claim is backed by God, should be removed.

    And as far as them repressing people then getting caught themselves, it just adds credibility to the quote: To the common man religion is true, to the Wise it's false, and to the rulers it is useful.

    Surely you're not suggesting that one type of politically leaning people incorporate religious beliefs into their sociopolitical philosophies are you? I was foolishly under the impression that legislation was based on life in the real world. What a fool I've been.

    hey so im just curious, has an alternative translation been proposed? ive heard similar comments about verses like "walking on water" actually being "walking beside the water", but ive actually never heard this particular claim before

    I suggest nothing, only that I've been told the general thought among protestant pastors at the very least is that sex other than male/female within the bond of marriage is considered as bad as blasphemy.

    As things go, one can usually find a reason why things would be written that way, but that is a bit boggling, though VadersLaMent has a good point.

    Rogue_Ten I don't actually know. I've not gone looking and Im not often around people who might be a trustworthy source. If I ever read a breakdown of the actual words used and such, the source has to be super legit, yanno?

    Remember when Pope Francis said the Vatican should do everything it can to stop the molesting of children by priests?

    Yeah, about that...

    Apparently there is Civil Law that says they are not obligated to report said abuse. So.

    ---------------------------------

    The Tenth Commandment (do not covet your neighbor's stuff) applies to you the non-rich. But the 8th(sometimes 7th) Commandment (Don't steal) does not apply to rich folks.

    So here is Bachmann telling you rich people stealing is a lie and higher taxes for rich folks goes against the 10th Commandment

    So, they can take what they want and it's not stealing no matter how many politicians they pay off and you are not allowed to be upset about because Commandments.

    (Derpity do do)

    How to stop them evil gays.

    Every mayor should be Christian!

    the need for conservative Christians to not only vote, but to run for office, saying that if every city in America had a Christian mayor, we wouldn’t have “evil” and “wicked” policies like LGBT nondiscrimination measures.

    “And we got a woman and her goal is the gay-lesbian agenda,” Graham said, “trying to get transgenders into the bathrooms so that if a person wakes up in the morning and they feel like they’re a woman that’s a man and he wants to go into a ladies’ restroom then they can do that. And that’s her goal. And I can tell you right now that that’s wicked and that’s evil. Men belong in men’s bathrooms and women belong in women’s bathrooms and we don’t need men and predators going into women’s bathrooms, I’m just telling you.”

    --------------------------------


    Not enough to convince you the religious right is trying to take over government?


    This North Carolina Republican says his main goal is to push Christianity into Congress

    Robert Pittenger told the crowd that his first priority is to represent Jesus in Congress, not his constituents back at home. He also suggested that anybody in Congress who disagrees with him can’t possibly be a Christian.
    “The most important message that needs to be heard in this city is the Gospel and love of Christ,” Pittenger said. “This transforms lives.”
    “We’ve seen some court rulings that have unsettled us, causes great pain in our heart for our country. I don’t hold fault with those who believe different than me. They just don’t know my savior. They don’t know the one who loved me and gave himself for me. And that’s my mission. That’s my primary mission as a member of Congress. Yes, to serve my constituents, to serve my region, and my state, and my country — but we’re here as emissaries for Christ.”

    This Arizona mayor had a Rabbi removed from the room so they could pray because that's what freedom means

    No one with an ounce of compassion or decency would base their reporting of molestation on whether or not they were "obligated" to do so. Somethings I don't need to feel "obligated" to do; I would just do them because every bit of humanity in me tells me that its right.

    Here goes Steve Anderson again

    “You know what they mean [by women’s rights]?” Anderon asked his flock.
    “The right to divorce your husband is what they mean. You know what they mean? The right to rebel and disobey your husband, the right to divorce him, the right to go out and get a job and make your own money, the right to tell him what to do, the right to go vote for our leaders as if women should have any say in how our country is run when the Bible says that “I suffer not a woman to teach, not to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence”?
    I AM QUOTING THE BIBLE RIGHT NOW!
    But it’s old-fashioned…”

    Along with his nonsense comes the information that Dave Barton says the same things and he is very good buddies with Glenn Beck and is in fact in charge of the SuperPac of Presidential candidate Ted Cruz.

    So. Scalia passed away. The Nomination Wars have begun. Let's see how the GOP voters are handling this.

    You might wanna put on your tin foil hat

    In my heart of hearts I believe Scalia met the same fate as Andrew Breitbart, he was only 49. Then the coroner who was going to report his findings was poisoned.
    There is pure evil at work here.

    I’ve never met anyone more evil than a Leftist. They have 3 kinds of hate. Self-hate, jealous hate for their own and hate for everyone who disagrees with them. I REALLY don’t know why Conservatives don’t pound these haters daily for being such evil people. They seethe. We have to start letting the world know their main motivators are their own weakness, jealousy, greed for what others have and hate, hate, hate.

    Did Obama kill Scalia? And did Obama kill Loretta Fuddy, the individual responsible for authenticating Barack Hussein Obama’s long form birth certificate? She was the only ONE of NINE passengers to die in a plane crash 1/2 mile off the coast of Hawaii. And why is there almost NO documentation available confirming Obama’s mythical “life story?”

    Don't you get it Anakinfan? Scalia didn't simply croak from natural causes. No, it was actually a carefully orchestrated and highly sinister plot implemented by the Illuminati Reptilian NWO Yodeling, Sewing, and Baking Grannies brigade.

    Rumor has it that the Jedi were involved, as well. Or so Emperor Palpatine says.

    The Jedi are far too encroached in the government, and the government mandates that all children get vaccinated for the purpose of weakening them and making them more dependent on government. It also hired the CIA agent Osama Bin Laden to blow up the World Trade Center, forged both Obama's birth certificate and the 1969 moon landing, AND hides from the public evidence that aliens and Hutts are taking over the galaxy.

    Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton and Obi-Wan Kenobi killed Scalia. Stop letting the MSM fool you. Only Alex Jones tells the truth.

    Yeah, the rancher says he found him with a pillow over his head and the rancher is apparently in a picture shaking hands with Obama and the rancher is a Democrat and Scalia said something bad about an Obama policy recently. Let the fun begin.

    Here's a bunch in one place

    According to Jones, Scalia had likely been murdered by President Obama in much the same manner the president killed conservative gadfly Andrew Breitbart, who died on a Brentwood sidewalk from a heart attack.
    “You just get used to this, ‘Scalia found, it’s natural, nothing going on here, he just died naturally,’” Jones stated. “And you’re like, ‘Whoa. Red flag.’ Then you realize, Obama is one vote away from being able to ban guns, open the borders and actually have the court engage in its agenda — and now Scalia dies. I mean, this is hard core.”
