so much for loving your neighbor as yourself, so much for judge not lest you be judged, so much for let he who is without sin cast the first stone---so much for every important tenant of the new testament. you would think that these repeated outbursts of bigotry--even in the microcosm of this thread--would give even the most convinced protestant fundamentalist reason to think about what they are saying, how it lines up with the religion they claim to represent, what their positions make christianity look like to others....they do a real disservice to an often quite beautiful vision of how people can and should be to each other in the world that jesus outlined...all in the name of that vision. you would think that eventually some kind of dissonance would turn up in this. you really would think so.
