Wait a minute, this is a list of people going to hell!
I never understand why some people put so much effort into something like this. Unless the “FAGS” have broken into their homes and personally butt-raped them, I don’t see why anyone should devote their time and energy to this type of discourse. Damn, just jerk off to internet porn if you have nothing better to do. At least then when you’re lying on your deathbed awaiting your own entry into hell, at least you can say that you whacked off a lot rather than saying, “I ran a cheesy website against fags.”
The only other thing I can fathom is that everyone involved with that website is extremely ashamed of their own homosexuality. Will someone at godhatesfags.com please take the first step out of the closet before the white trash and mullets become permanent?!?!
Evidently this “Bible” I’ve heard so much about is a hate manual. That’s the only conclusion I can come to.
Why don’t you go to the source material instead of just being a troll?
I don’t know, Peter said rather some different things. Mind you, I think Peter kind of hijacked Christianity, but apparently I’m in a minority.

It’s much more fun listening to Pat Robertson, et al.
He that believeth in him is not condemned, even when he rapeth small boys, yea, he will not be cast into the lake of fire, he will not even loseth his job, he will just have to relocateth.
Wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.

I like this version better: Amazon.com
It’s actually heretical for them say that Shepard entered hell–that’s god’s call, god’s will, which mankind cannot presume to know. And I guess you could point out that god doesn’t hate anyone–just the sins they commit. So guess what! That makes the guys putting up that plaque heretical sinners!
But more importantly, they’re all a bunch of fucking assholes.
Most people I know think accuse Paul of hijacking Christianity, because he was such a great administrator and basically got the job done. He wrote an awful lot of letters and did an enormous amount of traveling.
I have never heard this about Peter, who has always seemed to me a sort of happy bumbler. I always thought the point of making Peter the “rock” on which the church is built was kind of like God saying, if I can make Peter the rock, anything is possible.
Explain why you say this about Peter?
Oops, you’re right, it’s Paul. Knew I’d get the wrong one.
I don’t think people mind that he was a great administrator, what bothers them is probably the misoginy, homophobia et al, which, I think, was quite missing from Jesus’ message.
I thought it was Mary. You think they’ll ever do a reunion tour?
I think we’re about due for someone to point out that we should not presume that this vocal minority represents the entire religion, kinda like how we’re not supposed to use Bin Ladin’s actions and views as an excuse to stomp every muslim we meet.
Some people are just fucking psychos.
That’s the real thing. Paul was a “reformed” murderer and performer of hate crimes. The Bible mentions his Saul days where he was stoning Christians and others and then God appeared to him on a roadside. Next thing we know he’s 150% in the other direction working on behalf of the Christians. He seems to have added so much of his own stuff to the Bible that it can’t help but lead to some doubt.
It’s odd, but I thought I remember hearing that there were many more books of the Gospels written, but only 4 made the cut. But it seems like Paul managed to get 1200 of his own books in there.
Seriously, today if some drunk hick who brutally killed people for some difference suddenly turned around and told the world “I saw a bright light that spoke to me,” the last thing we’d do is let him dictate the majority of the text that deals with our personal relationship to God. We’d probably categorize him with the crowd of death row inmates who thought they saw a UFO.

I meant that the fact that he was a great administrator is what gave his opinions so much weight.
Actually Saul’s killing Christians was what most of the normal people were doing at the time. As far as his peers were concerned, he didn’t start acting odd until he stopped killing.
That’s true, but I don’t think it lessens my point too much. So say we have someone 60 years ago in the south lynching people. Then one day he sees a bright light while walking down a road and suddenly… fill in the rest of what I already wrote.
In some ways, was Saul just a lemming moron? He seems to come across as unstable. Either way, his books definitely seem worth a much closer look.
Minority or not, the Southern Baptist church really really likes Paul.
