These acts are sad, I seen a video last night about another guy who had been murdered then I found this video. This inspired me to write a post on my site mentioning some victims of these kind of crimes as well as my opinion on the topic.

It’s sad that people have to murder somebody just because they are different…

Thou shalt not kill ….

Brought to you by God through Moses.
Killing is wrong…Jesus spent his whole life trying to teach this.
There are NO exceptions.

To Rev Spitz, and others of his ilk:
“Lost in Translation”

“…that the Bible supposedly condemns homosexuals… it says it right there in black and white doesn’t it? Yes it does, in plain English, however does it say it in plain German? … What does this have to do with these five lines? Well let us just compare these 5 lines and how they directly translate from the German Bible written in 1545, and how they compare to the King James Version. Let us go through the passages one at a time and then you can judge. …”

Rev Don Spitz, more like Rev Ima Troll. m i rite?

you guys took the bait. =(

if he IS legitimate, i’d recommend looking up the Skeptic’s Annotated Bible. Plenty of the verses he talked about, plus all those other verses people of his ilk don’t like to often quote. Good times for the whole family!

I thing the reverend should be turned over to the police so sicko’s like him are stopped before they commit the same crime brought on by their belief in a mythical person.

In his New Covenant, Jesus gave Christians a pass on all those Old Testament abominations, including the ones mentioned above as well as working on Sunday, women wearing men’s clothing, eating pork, shellfish and leftovers, burning incense, reading horoscopes, cheating at business, improperly covering one’s poop in the desert and the rest of the edicts in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. All of these sins were given equal weight in the list of abominations: Commit any one of them and you will burn in hell forever.

Rightwing Christianist political types like Spitz insist that the edict about gay sex was excluded in the New Covenant but offer no proof whatsoever that it was — because there is none.

Spitz and other hate-mongers promote homophobia because it helps them raise money. If they really cared about a sin that breaks up families and is the real threat to marriage, they’d go after adulterers, especially since the prohibition against adultery is one of the Ten Commandments — which, and this important, being gay is not.

But attacking adulterers the way they attack gay people would upset their heterosexual male donors which would hurt fundraising. And that’s all they really care about: the bottom line.

“Reverend” Spitz,
Tell me why you don’t follow all the other edicts in the Bible? There are many other things there that are referred to as “abominations”. Why do you ignore all those and concentrate on homosexuality? Did it ever occur to you that many of these edicts were a result of the culture in effect at the time that particular manuscript was written? Let’s see…what was the culture back then? Women were married off at a very young age, often against their will to men much older than themselves. Men could divorce their wifes for any reason or no reason. But the wife could not divorce much less leave her husband. If she did so she could face a death sentence. There was no “romance” as we know it today. Marriage was for making babies and providing a servant for the man the protection and food for the woman. I could go on but the question is: Do you really want to have our society go back to that type of culture of life? And if not, then you need to look at the reasons why these things were written and stop concentrating on one “abomination” while ignoring the others.

Well, Rev Spitz, if God hates Queers, why does He make so many?
