hey you skipped the Leviticus verse about how it’s ok to own slaves so long as they are rom other nations – love their hypocrisy in how they interpret fairy-tales written by men……bunch of brainwashed fools.

…and Sarah Palin defied the gods when she wrote on her hand. Only gods are allowed to do that.

Unfortunately, some will still cling to the fiction that “both sides do it”
No both sides are not bat turd insane. The American right wing maintains that monopoly with an iron grip.

as one who fully qualifies as a ‘PROPHET OF GOD’ by the ‘test’ as outlined in the scriptures, I would have to deem you a LYING HYPOCRITE, Scott – and we all know what the people are to do to one that’s in defiance to an actual calling out by a ‘PROPHET OF GOD’ do we not?
…
BARELY, BARELY I say to the wicked churchgoers in Oklahoma, if the sun doth rise in the east and set in the west within the next 24 hours (that thare’s a day and night) then you are hereby ordered by one who fully qualifies as a Prophet of GOD to seize Scott Esk, drive him across the Red River and cast him away from thee into the hinderlands! – naked (meaning no firearms) and alone. You may then do what you will with his stained and unacceptable family members – slavery, or –
supper,
(nothing wrong with eating children – cooked or alive, not specified).
bon appetit!
-and don’t forget to wash your hands and say your blessings!

What’s the difference between Mr. Scott Esk and the 5 Taliban Gitmo prisoners who were swapped for our soldier?

Why do “christians” constantly want to impose old testament crap on people that they don’t like, but when one of their own gets caught diddling children or doing the wide stance in the men’s room, it’s all new testament turn the other cheek and forgiveness–because “jesus”?
I’m really really sick of this crap being even brought up in the same room as our politics.

Why does anyone of a diff faith feel they have the right to force their beliefs on folks who dont believe as they do…… we came to these shores for the freedom of religion, to worship as we chose…… the English Crown tried to impose ONE religion on the whole of their countrymen & look how that worked out……
Aielyn June 12th, 2014 at 12:55 am
That’s actually false. It’s the story told by the puritans, who were the ones who left England for the ‘New World’. They didn’t leave because the Crown tried to impose one religion, they left because the Crown said they weren’t allowed to impose their religion on others. They felt “marginalised” because the Church of England, to which they belonged, refused to support their push for greater “reformation” and less religious tolerance.
They weren’t fleeing persecution, they were seeking a place where they were free to persecute. There’s a reason they’re referred to as “puritans”.
M D Reese June 12th, 2014 at 2:09 pm
And when they got here, they promptly began pushing their religion on others….

I hope that I live long enough to see humanity grow up. I’d love to see the percentage of atheists to be 90% and the percentage of those who believe in the supernatural to be 10%.Then we can start to move ahead instead of tearing each other and our planet down.

this mofo should be tied to four really pissed off horses and ripped to f’n shreds. People like this are what gives homo sapiens a really bad smell. His infectious pious shit should be rolled into a ball and shoved down his throat as he lets out his last scream. Extreme? Maybe but some folks deserve more than others and this scum should reap the benefits of his own sickness.
Judy Mccracken June 11th, 2014 at 10:23 pm
How does that saying go…..”he who is WITHOUT SIN, cast the first stone”….. wonder is this moron able to do that….. SIN, not just what he considers sin…..but ANY SIN… and if you pick up that stone, you better be very sure, YOU ARE WITHOUT……. I think the Lord has punishment in mind for arrogant, sanctimnious liars……

I’m not into stoning or judging people and I don’t think that I have that right, but gays should stop interfering and promoting their deviant lifestyle to us, interfering in natural, marriage between a woman and man and interfering in how our children in schools are being brought up and what they should believe. If you’re a woman and you get married to another woman well that’s just ridiculous and beyond moral boundaries, same with men. There are moral and ethical rules and boundaries no matter if people think there shouldn’t be. People seem to forget that this is a sexual issue and is personal and private for the people involved and doesn’t concern others and shouldn’t be forced on people in the media or in mixed company. All people should be treated with respect and dignity and not be picked on or bullied even if they are wrong.

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.

How are gays interfering with you?
Who died and made you the arbiter of what is moral and natural?

I think you should take your genocidal filth that comes from a genocidal filth manual about genocidal filth deities and choke on it.

Stop with your sharia law nonsense, religious zealots hate us because of our freedom.

The world of faith in Christ is such that if you view biblical studies more with an understanding of precise contexts and spiritual lessons, trying hard to understand how right they were for particular places, times, situations, to provide meaning for later generations preparing for Jesus, etc. then the bible does not come across as unfair, In fact, God remains loving. That said and contemplated, here is my conclusion: the kind of faith God requires of us that leads to salvation is such that – those who really love God, desire to know Him, seek His face regardless of the ups and downs of life and all the inbetween gray areas – that faith will draw us to Him and lead to life. Yet we have such free will about loving God that we can also choose to simply dismiss the bible – and not expect eternal life with Him. What’s not often taught is an accurate message about Life and Death – that is, those who do not desire and draw near to God and receive Life, will simply die – but not be tortured for eons into eternity. Religion has perverted the truth so deeply that it takes some their whole lives to embrace God’s simply message about love, or ironically simply sit down one day with a clear and open mind, and read the bible to understand the mind and heart of a loving God. Hard to articulate, and I hope my point is clear. Meanwhile, peace and love to everyone – in all the right contexts that God intends!

As a Christian, I will state that Esk is wrong. We no longer live under the Law, but Grace which came with the Death and Resurrection of Christ. The Bible is very clear that homosexuality is sin, an”abomination,” but any kind of harm towards them is strictly forbidden. Christ hates sin, but loves the sinner; it is the Christian’s purpose to represent Christ.
dcparham June 14th, 2014 at 5:37 pm
AJ to be fair would you not say Esk is stating what was right at the time, though? Stone gays today? Of course not! The headline accuses Esk of saying that but I’ll be you a crisp $10 bill Esk would not say we should stone gays, adulterers, etc. today. I’d say that would be a preposterous statement. Plus being under grace does not preclude conclusions of things being right or wrong. Also, things like fabric, cows, etc. were obviously for social or even metaphorical reasons to condition the Hebrew people to understand the symbolism and types and shadows that Christ would fulfill later. Sheeze, so much to cover, it takes an open and spiritual mind to discern. Hard to swim upstream against folks who simply shut down spiritual lessons because of apparent offensive [and often obscure] verses, eh?
A J Jackson Gum June 15th, 2014 at 7:37 am
Esk stated what God ALLOWED in the OT, yes.

Homicidal Ideation! These people know they have the political or media attention and most likely will not act directly on their own homocidal fantasies. They also know that given their coverage and attention, they will motivate others with tendencies to act on homicide. This is an example of someone who is not mentally qualified to represent the people of their state. He and others like him know exactly what they are doing!
