    I like this quote from the link:


    But many who call themselves Bible believers are simply, congenitally conservative – meaning change-resistant. What really concerns them is protecting the status quo, an ancient hierarchy with privileged majority-culture straight males at the top, which they justify by invoking ancient texts.

    Captain Schmineo - "What marriage would look like if we actually followed the Bible..."

    ...is reminiscent of the pre-Civil War South.

    Hold Me-Thrill Me - "Would the men of the time bent their backs to such laws? No! They were not ready."

    Some still aren't.

    JK, I could have written that. Actually I did (not that one but one just like it). Thanks.

    When are you guys going to learn that the old testament was fulfilled in the Christ. It is just used a reference. Only the new testament counts. Except when you need to condemn gays....or anything else you don't like. Sheesh! Get with the program....
