Show me the part where Jesus says to stone all the queers. I'll wait.

so, as a gay man i agree with the sentiment however

If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.

it’s real easy to find references, but part of that is shoddy biased (or just ignorant) translations… part of it is selective interpretation (guess we can wear mixed fabric and eat pork… and what was that about the camel and the eye of the needle? i’m pretty sure it applied to billionaires)… and that’s all with the assumption that the bible wasn’t just written by a bunch of people that saw a way to make a (figurative) buck

finding a statement that supports pretty much anything you’re doing is pretty easy… this is how we got the crusades and witch trials after all, despite thou shalt not commit murder

I'll be contrary here. It's not easy att all to make the Bible say what you want. You have to commit to incredible mental gymnastics that involves consciously being malicious, including ignoring specific and repeated passages explaining how the practice (of using the bible as a weaponry or deliberately misinterpreting it) is sending you to hell, while simultaneously posing as a believer to convince the other party that they subscribe to only those concering beliefs truthfully, in an insane torrent of cherry picking that only ignorance flavored psychosis or beligerence can explain. While I'm certain many are just swept into the former, at least a disturbing few are engaged in the latter.
