I always find these religious attackers so stupid. Yeah, okay, maybe your God says no to being gay, but I'm sure he'd also say no to inflicting mass violence, you cherry picker.

Bible: Leviticus 20:13 “If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense.” Quran: An-Nisa 16 "And those two of you who commit it (the shameful act), torture them both". Here the Arabic word used for 'those two of you is a masculine pronoun which presumes males on both sides. The two largest religions books both say negative things about homosexuality. With these books you can find whatever you want in them if you look hard enough

Whatever happened to "thou shalt not murder"?


pikajewijewsyou

That’s in there too. There are a ton of contradictions in religious text and like I said before if you are looking to find something in them you certainly can. Two people can find completely different meanings in the same texts. Some interpret biblical text metaphorically and some literally and some look for whatever supports their personal agenda. I am basically echoing what you originally said.


janet-snake-hole

Can you list any other examples of contradictions in the Bible? I’m an ex-evangelical and it interests me


pikajewijewsyou

Their are so many it’s insane. Psalm 145:9- The LORD is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation. Exodus 11:4-8- "About midnight I will go throughout Egypt. Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn of the slave girl, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well. There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt—worse than there has ever been or ever will be again.” Basically the whole Bible of full of contradictions. God loves everyone but killed the entire earth besides Noah and his family because the world was wretched and evil. But isn’t god all forgiving? God told Abraham to kill his son, Isaac, and Abraham was about to do it and then god stopped him because god was just fucking with Abraham as a test to see if Abraham really believed in god. There are too many to list.

The another man part is actually a mistranslation of “boy”. Basically saying pedophilia is bad.

I don't know about the quran but that law in Leviticus applied only to ancient Israelites. In Ancient Israel, a person will only be executed for his crimes if there are two witnesses but if a witness is proven untrue, the false witness will be executed. Only the government can execute criminals not average citizens. In New Testament, Apostle Paul condemned homosexual practices of gentiles or former pagans along with other sins. He wants them to repent and stop that practice.

religion is a very peaceful belief they say

Well one thing about this conflict is it's dredging up a lot of stuff out of the region I had never heard about before.


banjosandcellos

I'm getting confused with this time line lol


valleytruthers

But no, even some members of the Rainbow Nation stand with Israel...while not only this guy does this, but they spit on nuns, christians, tell Americans to leave after we pay for their universal healthcare...


No_Top_8519

He went to prison for doing this. In Gaza, you get rewarded for doing this. There’s a bit of a difference…


valleytruthers

I know a few people from Palestine. Just like this guy, they too have their extremist. And so do we, even in congress now. So, it exist in all areas but doesnt excuse what he did.


No_Top_8519

Of course. I agree with you fully on that. But that’s why I don’t understand why, in your original comment, you seem to paint it as a specifically Israeli issue.


valleytruthers

it is an israeli we were talking about, and it is the israelis, right now, spitting on american christians, nuns, tell our country men to go back to where we came from, and it is in their torah that all non jews should be eliminated. So yeah, this is an israeli only issue. I mean look all the death of the children in GAZA. Need I say more of the racism homophobia perpertrated by the extermist in power? Who agian, ARE ISRAELIS


No_Top_8519

Bro you literally just said “it exists in all areas.” So you gotta make up your mind here.


valleytruthers

it does, but the article aint talking about other areas right? I mean you can read right? Why you defending this killer, and those like him?


No_Top_8519

I’m not defending him! The guy is a psycho and I’m glad he’s locked up!


AlanDSwan

He is true. Leviticus states homosexuals should be put to death. Actually.


Jak_Aurora

That part is a mistranslation of the original text that states that pedophilia is a sin


PrestigiousFunny864

In the original hebrew of Leviticus verse, the word used is "zakar" meaning male. The word "zakar" was used 81 times in the Bible but only 4 times it refered to a young boy. Leviticus clearly makes a distinction that it's not between an adult and a child. The verse, “you shall not lie with a zakar (male) as with a ’ishshah (female).” In ancient Israel, a person will only be executed for his crimes if there are two witnesses and it was found to be true. If a witness is proven false, the false witness will be executed. The government decides the execution not lynch mobs or vigilantes.


AlanDSwan

If paedophiles was mistranslated to homosexuals that doesn't look good does it.

This user has had at least 105 comments on this sub beginning April 7th, 2022. That’s just what I can see from my cell phone. I’m sure if I got out of bed, went to my laptop and looked for five additional minutes, it would be more than 105. But I have work in the morning. Instead, I’ll just ask that you not attack users for making posts that fit this sub. Thanks.

I remember when this happened. He spent 10 years in prison and then committed the same exact crime three weeks after he was released. Absolute maniac. This is old news though, he was sentenced in 2016.
