It also says in multiple places that judgement is for God, not man.
Comment on i’m not religious. stop trying to force me to be.
Blubber28@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoThat’s kind of the problem though - they do follow the teachings. The bible clearly states that two men who sleep together must be stoned to death, and that people are encouraged to spread these beliefs. It is true that they are ignoring the parts about being kind to other people, but at the same time, you are likely ignoring the parts that tell you that you can keep slaves as long as they are from other regions, that you cannot eat pork and shellfish, and that you must stone gay men.
This makes you absolutely a better person that the dipshits that OP is complaining about. But nevertheless, they are likely just as christian.

And that adulterer should be stoned to death. Bring Trump and I’ll bring the stones?
That defiant daughters should be stoned to death.
That the babies of your enemies should be killed by bashing their heads on rocks.
We have moved past those barbaric religious practices as a society.
The opposite of progressive is not conservative. The opposite of progressive is regressive. Backwards. They are backwards.
