Re: Praise Jesus
What part of the Bible says that sex with <3 years difference should be considered a misdemeaner but oral sex/sodomy with <3 years difference should be considered a felony in the 21st century? I'd like to read up on it, as I don't recall ever coming across that in the Bible.
Maybe you think a statement from the Bible that implies "sodomy is wrong" should be applied equally to all people and all generations? This doesn't seem very useful to me, and this story illustrates why. Some people grossly misapply and misuse ancient scripture. It doesn't seem very constructive to me to blame a book when people do this.
I also don't know how you can infer this young man is in jail specifically because of Jesus (referring to your thread title). I mean, I understand it's probably convenient and all to blame religion for every little thing people do that is wrong. But it's pretty clearly inaccurate and incorrect to do so, no matter how much we all want to. I mean, I do know how you feel though. I had knee surgery recently and was on crutches, and this one time when I attended church those freaking Christians held the door for me and even offered up their seat so that I could be more comfortable. Damn those Christians and Jesus with their "treat others as you would want to be treated" mantra. Praise Jesus (and by that I mean har, har stupid religious people)! Later I stubbed my toe on a chair and I cursed the Bible because that's the only logical thing to do.
As a side note, I really hated how this article was written. It placed the blame for this horrendous situation in the hands of stupid legislation, stupid actions by people, and stupid actions by the government. It doesn't once ever mention the Bible or religion. Thus the article is unsatisfactory. Don't we all know by now that if something bad happens, the first thing we should look to blame is the Bible and Christianity?
