Reply #78: Paul is one reason [View All]

[Comadreja]

Jefferson's Bible leaves out a large part of the NT as churchy embellishments. Paul, after all, advocated celibacy and expressed racism by agreeing with the saying that "All Cretans are liars and good-for-nothings." He was plainly a misogynist and seemed to harbor other sexual issues. Jesus had exactly zero to say about homosexuality or other culture war issues, which is one reason these Fundies have turned more and more to the OT for their moral authority.

Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system. -- Thomas Paine
