The Like/Hate Thread

[Orion]

He mentions that at the bottom of the article. Out of curiosity, which are the ones still technically valid?

He mentions it in the sense that 'oh, Christians say they don't work anymore, but what about the gay one? Double standards har har har" which just shows that he's more out to provoke a response than anything.

Just about anything from Leviticus (where he draws most of his material from) counts as much to a 21st Century Christian as the witch laws of the 17th Century from Iceland. They were laws written for a specific people at a specific time for a specific purpose. Much of Leviticus is focused upon cleanliness and avoiding certain foods that posed a risk at the time.

Others, like no. 4, are misinterpreted. God didn't punish Onan because he 'spilt his seed', he was punished because he was supposed to impregnate his brother's wife when he blatantly disobeyed. That's where the Catholic belief of non-contraception seems to be cited from.

Not too sure about no. 9, since that's the first time I've seen it presented in that context. No. 7 is fine, but he doesn't mention that there is one exception to allow divorce; sexual immorality. Otherwise, it is vehemently discouraged.

No. 3, however, carries some weight but not just because of that verse. All throughout the Bible it is mentioned not to consort with any other spiritual beings or mediums.

Did I miss anything?
