Love your neighbor, as long as he loves women

"And I'm gonna be blunt and plain; if one ever looks at me like that, I'm gonna kill him and tell God he died."

And I thought the Good Lord himself knew all!

Me thinks one shouldn't be so overly pious after having slept with a 'ho. Wouldn't have come clean about it too, unless he was caught. He makes a mockery of what the Christian faith is supposedly about. Why people like him and Oral Roberts and Jim Baker are/were tolerated by others that profess the same faith as those three is beyond comprehension to me.

When in doubt, use your past trangressions as an educational tool for others (a for-all-have-sinned-and-fallen-short-of-the-glory-of-God kinda thing), and emphasize how you've reaffirmed your faith by becoming even more of moralistic blowhard.

On a slight theological tangent: Wouldn't killing a homosexual be against the 10 commandments? This wouldn't be killing someone in self-defense or in war or in some other common apologetic reasoning justifying killing. It would be planned murder, which by nearly all accounts is wrong in Christian doctrine. Then again, the rules set in Leviticus call for men to kill others as punishment. But there you have the idea that the old Law is no longer applicable because of Jesus' sacrifice (believed by many, if not most, Christians...as most do not keep kosher or other parts of the Law). Of course, if the New Testament supersedes the Old Testament and the old Law is no longer relevant, then why the insistence that the 10 Commandments are so important to put everywhere, when they are a part of the now-defunct Law?

Then of course there is the verse in Matthew about how Jesus was not sent to render the Law obsolete, but that's another interpretation debate for another day

I take it your classes and/or research has started up, Susan, and you wish to avoid it?

As for your argument, Susan, I think that many think themselves arrogant crusaders for god; they assume they know exactly what He wants, and that they are the instruments that merely act under god's love and will. Hence, we kill the gays. Or we enslave people. Or tell women there place is in the kitchen or in the sack, ankles splayed. Now, to be fair, not all Xtians are so backwards thinking, but you don't hear the voices of those temperate in the religion, do you? You hear Jimmy Swaggart, but not, say, Reverand Lovejoy? It almost seems as if the same disease has taken over the policital parties and process here in the US as well.
