The most courageous guy in all of this is Chris Broussard.
The only thing I came away with from the Broussard dialogue is that he is likely a hypocrite. There are so many "laws" in the bible that people in modern society would deem ridiculous that it would be practically impossible to live life by the bible.
I also find it funny that all of these people condemn homosexuality as a sin and being so terrible when it was never even mentioned by Jesus in the New Testament. If it was so important, you would think your messiah would have mentioned it.

quote:John Amaechi, who is one of the better interviews you'll here on the subject, was just saying this on Lebatard's radio show a few days ago, with an unbelievably funny Sweet Tomatoes buffet reference lol.. I've also been saying this for a long time when the bible is brought up on these boards. If you're going to cite the bible as the reason against anything, you can't cherry pick, you have to believe everything in the bible or else it absolutely is hypocritical because you're not reading the book and making decisions on your beliefs based on the book. These people are deciding how they want to be first, THEN trying to justify it by citing the bible, and it doesnt' work that way.
There are so many "laws" in the bible that people in modern society would deem ridiculous that it would be practically impossible to live life by the bible.
Ameachi talked about it the fabric of your clothes doesn't completely match in what you're wearing, you're considered an abomination, and if your brother worked on the Sabbath, you are supposed to stone him to death, and others. If you live your life by the bible, live it by the bible

FWIW - I think homosexuals shouldn't be discriminated against and Jason Collins deserves support. I'm not a homophobe, against gay rights or anti gay in any way other than I acknowledge that it is a sin according to the Bible and orthodox Christianity.
