    It would be nice if we could see a day where people drop the entire Bible from their list of reasons why people should or shouldn’t do things.

    You know, instead of just the parts that aren’t convenient to them like they do now.

      I especially love how they cherry-pick from the Old Testament. How much bacon do you think Greg Kelly eats in an average year?

      And then there’s their hero Trump. How many of the “big ten” has he violated at this point?

        The whole “I hate you because you don’t follow the Bible!” schtick goes directly against what Jesus taught. It’s like the whole identity of the “religious right”.

          The fun thing is they claim Matthew 5:17-18 says that Jesus claims you don’t have to follow Jewish law when it says the exact opposite:

          Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

          He comes to fulfill, but he hasn’t actually done it yet. And the Bible never says he does, so the presumption is it happens when he returns.
