Quote:…you need to read Paul's letter to the believers in Rome…
While reading anything from Paul, please remember that this was coming from a man who most probably had a major problem coming to terms with his own homosexuality and chose to combat his feelings of guilty by preaching homophobia and misogyny.
One of my fundamental beefs with Christianity and what I would consider a flaw in its very reasoning is its follower’s terrible habit of referencing The Bible as evidence in a case or to back up their self-righteous and extremely prejudice opinions or theories.
For the love of common sense, don’t use an out-dated and frequently mistranslated piece of literature to back up your arguments.
I cannot commit a crime against someone and justify it by anyone’s standards merely using quotations from a manuscript someone claims to have dug up thousands of years ago regardless of the significant effect said book has had on modern history. So I cannot accept a verse as valid weighing element in a debate.
It has been my experience that followers of Christianity and its sub-cults are unable to defend any points I have challenged in argument without referencing The Bible which is the sole basis of the debated beliefs. This in my opinion, renders their entire arguments worthless.
However, because my beliefs do not encourage bias and discrimination, I must try my utmost to avoid looking down on those who use the evidence of things non-existent to support up theirs. But, I must admit I find if hard to value the opinion of someone who cannot argue or fight for their convictions.
