Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

Lucy #449: You then go on to quite vehemently state, ―We have not condemned these
homosexuals, Scaughdt. HOW MANY TIME DO WE HAVE TO SAY THAT!?!?!‖
Easy there, Lucy … You can tell me that you are not condemning homosexuals until you
are blue in the face, and yet the fact still remains that you are in effect doing so. You see, as I
have explained already on a number of occasions herein, you & yours are freely choosing to
worship a God who you know will either cause homosexuals to burn forever, or who at the very
least will passively sit back and watch them do so – and you are openly praising this wickedly
callous God – and you are telling others that it is actually good that He judges homosexuality in
such an unjust & overly harsh manner! As such, at the very least you are guilty of condemnation
by proxy … And besides, the minute you announce publicly that homosexuality is a
mortal sin with eternal damnation as its consequence, you have chosen to judge God‘s
judgment as correct, and thus have chosen to judge God‘s condemnation as correct as
ell … This – is – condemnation, my Friend … Can you seriously still not see that?
And do you honestly believe that you can effectively hide behind whatever immoral
statements the Bible makes and simply shrug your shoulders and say ―Don‘t look at me – God
said it‖? Seriously?!? … How about slavery, Lucy (see Exodus 2:7 & Ephesians 6:5-9)? … And
how about animal cruelty (see Genesis 9:2 & Leviticus 11:1-47)? … And how about sex slavery
(see Genesis 19:8 & Judges 1:12-13)? … And how about racism (see Numbers 25:1-13 & 2 John
1:10)? … And how about the denigration of women (see 1 Timothy 2:12 & 1 Corinthians 14:34-35)?
… And how about murdering babies (see Exodus 12:29-30 & Numbers 31:17-18)? … And how
about rape (see Deuteronomy 22:28-29 & Judges 21:10-24)? … And how about genocide (see
Deuteronomy 7:1-2 & Joshua 10:40)? Your ―God‖ supports every single one of these horrific evils
at least once in the texts of your precious Old Testament, my Friend, so I guess you do too, right?
C‘mon, Lucy … Of course you don‘t! You are a good & kind & caring & decent
woman. You know that persecution is wrong and you know that these abhorrent acts are
patently immoral. And I have faith that – deep down – you similarly know that bigotry against
homosexuals is morally wrong as well.
P.S. And the Good News for you & yours is this: You don‘t need to
denigrate or condemn homosexuality anymore to remain Good Christians; even
good conservative Christians. For, as I have proven to you many times before, the
Bible clearly condemns only homosexual sex as a sin, not homosexuality itself!
