It has just been reported that the Kansas State House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed a law preventing discrimination against Christians by allowing them to discriminate against homosexuals -- you know, sometimes you have to wonder if the right wing ever takes time to think about what they say and do before they say and do it or even after they say and do it -- this would allow any business to refuse to serve homosexuals. In other words it's Jim Crow for gays.
I responded:
At last the Puritan dream is coming true. The right of one religious group to suppress and brutalize other religious groups, or those who are different in any way, is finally being restored. There is no discrimination worse than being told that you are no longer allowed to discriminate against people you don't like. Soon, Kansas will be burning witches at the stake again. For far too long witches have been allowed to discriminate against Christians by not letting themselves be burned.
Or to phrase it in another way: Attention all who claim to be Christians. Read the following, think carefully, and repent.
Matthew 23: 23-27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith:these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
