      I’m not doing the work for you, but it very clearly says if a man lies with another man like they do with a woman they should be stoned to death.

        It’s in the old testament, in Hebrew. Saying if a man lays with a male… which my favorite part of that argument goes back to every Catholic/ Christian not being saved by God and their souls eternally left behind… which is what one might call eternal damnation.

        So they say. “Yeah we don’t like gays, or anybody who believes Jesus is God’s son”.

        Yeah let’s scrap the part about all of us being eternally damned, and let’s leave in the part about stoning people different than us.

        Oh and, let’s make up pergatory and hell so we can scare more people and make more money

            I may be an atheist who hates organized religion, but I also read a lot about the early church because I’m a history nerd. If there ever was a historical Jesus who preached anything approaching the message he’s purported to have taught in the christian bible, it was a new covenant and a lot of the old rules were judged unnecessary.

            That said, the old testament is a hate book. Modern christianity (especially in the USA) is a hate cult. Organized religion is a cancer.

              I love Christian history, it’s so very ridiculous.

              Did you know that “testament” meant to swear on your balls (testicles)? They would grab their junk on making an oath.

              So, we could call it Old and New “I swear on testicles this is true”.

              Also, Christians cut off their balls for many centuries.

              Christian history has a lot of foreskins and balls
