I was a sorcerer in AD&D. Here I hope to be interesting--at least to someone.

Still Having Arguments with Religion

I had another conflict with a "religious right" fellow the other day.  He felt the necessity to throw a citing from the Bible at me--the same one that always seems to be thrown at me and others like me.

"Man shall not lie down with man as he lies down with woman. It is an abomination."
Leviticus 18:12

Personally, I'm tired of fighting over it, so I didn't.  Instead, I used a different quote.

"Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die; it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations."
Leviticus 10:9

In case you don't get it, it's a requirement not to drink alcohol while in the church.  Not that anyone really pays attention (the Catholics anyway).  They always seem to be dipping into the "sacramental" wine, don't they?  I wonder when it was decided that they could violate holy law by simply casting a "holy" blessing over the substance before they used it?

It looks like the rules set forth it the Bible are only applicable when the church-goers choose to accept them.

Hypocrites, all.

I like what you said.

Jesus tells us that there are many who do things in His name who never were and never will be a part of him. Perhaps these hypocrites you met are some of them. Jesus makes it clear that these folks will face His judgement.
