The lines are Grey because of oversensitive MORONS who get butt hurt over something not being "PC".

A president, Prime Minister, Etc. etc. Still have thier own religion, i don't think theres anything wrong with a leader saying thank god or bless their nation. Using your religion as a guide to legislate however, is a completely different story.

Nah the Mormons are still pissed because when Utah was admitted as a state the Judicial system ruled that polygamy was detrimental to society. Thus in order for Utah to become a state they had to abide by the ruling set down by the Supreme Court specifically for Utah's admittance.

They use that stance for their anti-gay marriage arguments because those silly Mormons are probably the most anti-gay of any church.

The new testament condemns it as well

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

no mention of shellfish or poly-cotton blends that I've seen there.

I think I should have phrased that another way... God nor Jesus, in the bible, condemned homosexuality, to my knowledge. What you have there is Paul's list of things he THINKS will keep people from inheriting the Kingdom of God.

Those verses are also a more -recent- translation of this one: "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."

Again, note who is saying it, Paul, not Jesus or God. Their are also a lot of things "nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind" could signify, but if the latter signifies it is not okay to be gay and sexual then it would also be the same for being straight and sexual.

You've brought up a good idea of a point to make. Your version of 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 was translated -after- the version I have, probably well after. The more times a version becomes translated the more skewed it becomes. Instead of leaving the words to cover such broadness, the people who translated your version felt that society today would do better with things if they flat out say, "okay this word stands for homosexuality, I know what Paul meant" or "He came to me in sleep!" Anyway, you get the point.

That is part of my problem with the christian bible and religion (the only religion I can speak on behalf of), it's fickle.
 
Oh man, I love it! Hilarious.

The problem is that it doesn't matter to most Christians if the words are attributed to God, Jesus, or Paul. If it's in the Bible, that's all the justification they'll need. I wish more people put that kind of thought into their religion, but unfortunately they do not.
 
People believe what they read, it isn't just a trait of "Christians" or "religious people".
