i know hes not joking at least about the law of the old testament, which he is right has no relevance anymore
it's still apparently the word of god though, isn't it?
Does this mean you throw out Genesis as well? So you don't have to be a creationist? I was under the impression that most creationists in the US are also christian, and creation is based on a book in the Old Testament.
Or is it just the rules of the old testament that are thrown out? If that's the case, how the hell ISN'T that picking and choosing?
Both the old and new testaments have lots of sexist garbage, like stuff about how women should totally subject themselves to the wills of their husbands. I understand that the scripture was written a long time ago, when equal rights weren't very high priorities, but this is the shit that god supposedly said.
Jesus himself had nothing against slavery. Again, a product of the time his story was written. But we all know that sexism and slavery are wrong. Most christians today would agree that slavery is absolutely evil, yet the bible really doesn't have anything against it. In that regard, Americans are more moral than god or Jesus.
But seriously dude, unicorns never fucking existed. holy shit.
