Weirdos Under God
OK. I know you've all heard of the Rev. Phelps. He is the reverend who for years has taken the members of his church to protest at the funerals of gay people and soldiers. His church members are currenty made up of different generations of his family members. The reason they protest all of these funerals and not others is because they feel like God hates homosexuals and that God hates America because it embraces homosexuals. Thanks to You Tube we can all watch videos of these wackos at work.
They usually use Leviticus 18:22 as their basis for the belief that God hates gays. That verse says something like 'Thou shalt not lie with a man as one does with a woman. That is detestible.' I think that homosexuals generally do follow that verse as they definitely don't lie with a man in the same way as they do with a woman. The odd thing is that the verse is from the old testament which was basically made not applicable to present day Christians after Jesus dying on the cross for everyone's sins among other things Jesus told us. I would be willing to bet you that these people and others like them commit the breaking of many of the laws in the bible. I know multiple Christians for instance who eat pork and others who do not hesitate to sleep in the same house and even the same bed as their husbands while on their periods. Women who cut their hair and leave it uncovered, people with tatoos, showing skin where it isn't appropriate. The list goes on but basically my point is that if you choose to follow one of the old testament laws you must follow all of them in order for anyone to take you seriously. These kooks are just that kooks. I really wish that we could predict the when the death of any one of these people would die so that we could go to their funerals and have a party or protest it with signs about how God hates people who break whatever rule in Leviticus that we choose. I would take time off work to go to that party and then organize protests or parties outside the house where these people live.
