Santorum

Santorum is striking a chord with me. I woke up with a strong feeling God wants His country back. This texting is not my thing! Morse code is easier for me.

    "His" country? The U.S. have clearly been created with a clear independence between State and Church ("no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States"). The motto "In God We Trust" replaced the original "E Pluribus Unum" in the 50s during the Red Scare, with politicians such as the Santorums of the times playing on the unfounded fear of communism. It's only at that time that "Under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance too.

    This guy is not Christian at all, he says the most vile things about gay people, for instance.
    Wikipedia: "Santorum compared the right to consensual (homosexual) sex within the home to polygamy, incest and adultery, and made references to bestiality and child sexual abuse in the context of distinguishing them from monogamous, heterosexual marriage as forms of deviant sexual behavior." His precise words were that gay marriage is no different from "man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be."

    He still compared gay marriage to polygamy last month, and went on saying that "an imprisoned father is preferable to a same-sex parent."

    Clearly the guy is out of his mind and a hater.

    A guy isn't Christian because he doesn't support gays? Is that writer pretending to be a Christian, I wonder?

    @Georges Any hater is not Christian. The way I understand it, this is a religion of love and tolerance, especially about things you are born with and can't change, like being black or gay.

    The New Testament (Paul/Saul, for instance) tells us explicitly to discard the Jewish Law (i.e. the Old Testament), which is where you have the stonings, the slavery, the eye for eye, tooth for tooth, all the stupid rules about blood sausage and the like that don't make sense nowadays.

    Homosexuality is just a very minor part of it really, and it's not even one of the capital sins. It all stems from the Leviticus, which is addressed exclusively to the "Children of Israel" (hence the name), not to Christians.

    Many gays are not even religious, why should whatever they do with their lives matter to these vocal bitter Baptists? If you are confident in both your faith and your sexuality, it shouldn't.
