In response to someone's comment on another friend's link about the recent Duck Dynasty that "liberals can't even entertain the thought or expression of traditional Judeo Christian values," I wrote the response below. I am in no way a theological expert, but as a devout follower of Christ (God, I don't even want to use the term Christian anymore because of how the Fundamentalists have hijacked the term), my response to such an IGNORANT comment is as follows...
-- There is NOTHING "traditionally Judeo Christian" in the vile and hateful words that spewed from that man's mouth! EVEN if you're a biblical literalist (and let's face it...no one really is because you can't pick out a statement from Leviticus about a man lying
with another man, but ignore the banning of poly-cotton blends or the
consumption of shellfish - or perhaps the Old Testament's acceptance and
encouragement of stoning a "sinful" woman and selling daughters for
livestock), believing homosexuality is a sin is ENTIRELY different from using
hateful and vulgar language, essentially at work! Believe whatever the hell you
want - but do NOT pretend that this Christ you're so devoted to would be PROUD
of this kind of hate. Remember Jesus? Yeah - the guy who said that we are all
created in God's image...the guy who gave us one rule: to love our neighbors as
ourselves...the guy who said "whatsoever you do unto the least of my
people, you do unto me?!?!?" Maybe these fundamental "Christians
should focus more on the teachings of CHRIST!!!!! --
