		<description>D.Taffet,

Christians have always been told to shut up about something. It is one of the most hated religions and I cannot be quiet. The intent was not to offend but, to answer the question that was asked.Since the Law are in effect, are you abiding by them? Do you follow the dietary laws and all the other hundreds fo laws. Are you homosexual or gay?If so, are you breaking the law? Do you believe that Jesus is the prophesied Messiah? If so, is he your savior? If you don&#039;t believe he is the prophesied Messiah, are you not anti-Christ?</description>

		<description>Excellent dialog - thanks to all who participated.

You will never get her to accepts Gays anymore than she will accept that Jesus was Jewish.  It&#039;s just not in her level or that there is actually a book of Mary Magdillen.  She&#039;s just not educated about her own &quot;religion&quot; amd never will be.

The Bible this and the Bible that - It&#039;s all based on a bunch of old comic books anyway so thanks again for the banter.  It was enlightening and entertaining!</description>

		<description>Well Johnny, 

As a High Priest of a religion and culture that is over  6,000 years old I don&#039;t think you are in a position to tell me what I can and cannot understand following a religious pathway which exists at most maybe 3,000 years. 

I respect what you have chosen to call your pathway which I was a part of in my early childhood. However, it is the narrow minded thinking of the masses which seems to be breed hate similar to the same judgment you have displayed right here among others in this public group. 

Therefore rather than wish you any ill will or waste any further time attempting to enlighten you with a wider thought process, I bid you farewell.  Go if you must, stay if you can, but above all,  harm thee none along the way.. 

In the meantime I will focus on the four tenants of living which is: to know, to dare, to will, and to remain silent. 

Goodbye.</description>

		<description>As someone who is Jewish, I take complete offense at your statement. You are free to eat anything you please, but you are attacking me and my religion AND the bible with your statement. And, by the way, I hope you realize, Jesus was Jewish and followed the laqws of the bible, including dietary laws. Those laws were changed later by others, not by Jesus. 
So in future postings, please watch your anti-Semitic mouth.</description>

		<description>Rick,

Sir, YOU DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE HOLY BIBLE NOR ARE YOU ABLE TO ABIDE BY IT. ANYBODY READING THE HOLY BIBLE KNOWS THAT THE FOOD LAWS HAVE CHANGED UNDER GRACE AND TRUTH. SO, I PREFER MY LOBSTER ASIAN STIR FRIED WITH GINGER AND ASSORTED VEGGIES. AND JESUS CHRIST IS LORD! UNTIL YOU BELEIVE THAT, THIS BACK AND FORTH WITH YOU HAS JUST ENDED FOR ME.</description>

		<description>Shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, mussels, all these are an abomination before the Lord, just as gays are an abomination. Why stop at protesting gay marriage? Bring all of God&#039;s law unto the heathens and the sodomites. We call upon all Christians to join the crusade against Long John Silver&#039;s and Red Lobster. Yea, even Popeye&#039;s shall be cleansed. The name of Bubba shall be anathema. We must stop the unbelievers from destroying the sanctity of our restaurants.

Leviticus 11:9-12 says: 
9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. 
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: 
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. 
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

Deuteronomy 14:9-10 says: 
9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat: 
10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.

I guess you missed those parts Johnny right?    

Ohhh and it doesn&#039;t take a rocket scientist to research this either:

		<description>This should answer your question about the shell fish: 1 Tim 4:1-5 (KJV1) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

Also, there is only one book attributed to St. Mark the Apostle of Jesus. It should not make you angry if I disagree with you. You can disagree with me and it is okay with me.I&#039;mnot angry with you.</description>

		<description>Oh what a loving and compassionate response posted here.   And you&#039;re right, you &quot;never told me you ate any shellfish&quot;   Tick Tock Tick Tock...   Well?  Have you or Haven&#039;t you ever eaten any?   Tick Tock Tick tock... 

This is a YES or NO answer and now it&#039;s your time to truthfully answer... Tick Tock.. Tick Tock..  
 
Funny how today&#039;s religious freaks can always figure out a way to use their &quot;good book&quot; as a weapon but they can never use it to be truthful and compassionate.. 
 
Now be real careful Johnny when you answer my shellfish question..  Don&#039;t forget your 10 commandments..
 
 
As for keeping my book secret?  Kindly tell us why you think this is so important huh?   

What?  You think it might piss off all those hateful anti-gay supporters and realize that there&#039;s more to the big picture than their religious authorities wanted them to know?   Huh??  

Do you think Ms. King might have a different viewpoint is she were asked to read this omitted portion of the Bible?   Can&#039;t have that now..  Gotta keep fueling the anger and frustration don&#039;t we?    This would change everything huh?  

Tick Tock Tick Tock...  cummon...  the spotlight is on you Johhny...   After you read this book then do us the favor of telling us whether the love for another man is really as bad as you say.. 


Tick Tock.. Tick Tock...   Hurry..   Time&#039;s running out..   If you wanna quote stuff, then why don&#039;t you quote a passage from &quot;The Secret Book Of Mark&quot;  and prove how flawed us gay men who were created in god&#039;s own image are OK?..   Does this mean that God is flawed too? 

The bottom line dude, is *You Were Taught To Hate*  things that were different or &quot;queer&quot; by the  family members who raised you.   Rather than accept, respect and learn from them it&#039;s easier to turn and walk away cuz their not part of &quot;Your Tribe&quot;     In the meantime you have to work hard to excel at your goal to become superior in your tribe to prove that you are the best..   The best provider, the best, defender, the best attacker, and best at hating anything that&#039;s different from the norm rather than looking at them from all angles and trying to learn from them. 
 
The end result is that the rest of the world outside of your tribe continues to grow and your group becomes stagnant and withers away because time heals all.   Today you&#039;re a shining star.. and tomorrow your&#039;re nothing more than a dead super-nova.   

You don&#039;t have to like everyone you know.. but many of us are taught to respect those around us anyhow whether we like it or not. Why? Because in the end you might learning something new after walking a mile in your so-called enemy&#039;s shoes..     No, I would never want to hope for my own child to grow up homosexual and be hatefully persecuted like Christ on the cross for the rest of his life.   But, at least I belong to a tribe who would still continue to support and nurture the love within that little person.   But it seems that your tribe would be the first ones trying to either change or excommunicate him huh?  

This in itself makes me far different in being a loving, caring, compassionate person.  It doesn&#039;t make me superior or better in any way..  Just different..  and to some that might equate to the word &quot;QUEER&quot;  huh?    Funny that!    Dontcha think?</description>
