It's all nonsense of course, and at best was written several hundred years after someone called Christ possibly lived and died. But anyway. Romans 14 Quote You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister ? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. 11 It is written: “ ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’ ” 12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. 13 Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister. 14 I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. Supposedly Christianity is big on forgiveness and acceptance, except when it's being big on bigotry, sexism and judging. 3 hours ago, RootsBooster said: You might want to remind the many various gods of that. They haven't changed their stance, so far as anyone knows. Can an imaginary friend in the sky be said to have a stance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atheist proselytising more like. Some of the most homophobic bigots I've ever met have been atheists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
