No one is throwing stones just being in agreement with the Bible and reiterating what God's Word says. We are commanded to preach the Gosepl to the unsaved. It is our duty for their souls are in grave danger of eternal judgement.

I try to adhere to God's word, I really do, but, sometimes, it's just so difficult. Take, for instance, my slaves. I try to treat them well, as the Holy Bible commands, but sometimes they get so shiftless and uppity. I'm sore tempted to beat them, but I don't want to damn my soul to eternal torment. Maybe I should just sell them all down the river... rid myself of the temptation to sin.

But then who would do my s#!t work?

Great, now we'll have the fundies advocate apartheid, too:(.
 
Actually, the bible was used to argue for slavery. So that's not a huge leap, really.

Does that mean that the fundies are as upset about the metric/imperial issues as the "gay agenda"?

Uh oh, I'm in trouble.

Great list!
 
And anal sex never happens, except by 'accident', for hetero couples...

I can imagine that for fundies who've never had sex ed beyond a preacher going 'please don't', finding the right hole down there might present a challenge. There are several, after all.

ETA: Oh, oh, oh! I'm reminded of a Norwegian comic strip (Pondus) in which the 'loser' of the story hunts g-spot. He's depicted sitting with his finger in the ear of a woman, asking 'does it feel good now?', to which the woman replies, 'no, no...'.:)

So according to the Bible God created the winged insects but he didn't notice he gave them six legs, not four? :jaw-dropp

So wait a minute, having a concubine is not adultery, but hiring a prostitute is? I am so confused.

I don't hold to a sexually immoral (liberal) view, I hold to a Biblical view on sexuality and the Bible is clear. Sex is to be reserved for marriage for the specific purpose of procreation.

You are cordially invited to marry yourself, and then immediately consumate that marriage, with the specific purpose of procreating more of your ilk.

Put another way, we have had two children. We are both still fertile. My wife and I reconsummating our marriage time and again, while the oysters last, is none of your affair. Indeed, it is one way to reduce the probability of either of us having an affair.

Well put. So presumably every time my wife and I reconsummate, we're making baby Jesus cry, because the possibility of children has passed. Funny thing is, I actually have read the Bible, and I don't remember that part. I do, however, remember a few juicy bits in which sex was engaged in, even sanctioned by the boss himself, outside of marriage.

Now, if (hypothetically, of course) it were appropriate to call XenonII an idiot, I might be inclined to do so, not simply because he spouts fundamentalist nonsense, but because he is so obviously ignorant of the book it comes from! You know, Xenon, being a fundamentalist is supposed to mean basing your beliefs on a literal reading of the book, not using your own fundament as an organ of speech.
