They are, none of the power structures in capitalism, the state and capital, gives a shit about judeo-christian values. And in every developed country the number of actively religious people keeps dropping, why should these books written by goat herders 2000 years ago be above modern laws? You know these books say shit like that gay people should be stoned to death and that slavery should be allowed to exist.

    Jesus was pretty crystal clear that the ancient jewish laws were no longer valid.

    The bible doesn't have hate speech. It has christo-fascists misrepresenting it to justify the hate they choose to cultivate within their hearts.

    LoveCanada's argument is completely baseless.

    You say that you've studied the Bible so you should know that the verses about homosexuality are also in the New Testament so not the 'ancient Jewish laws' If you want I can give you chapter and verse but its a pretty easy google search.

    Didn't say that. I said the verses on homosexuality were deliberately mistranslated. You need to work on your reading comprehension.

    I must have missed that. Where exactly did you say that the verses were mistranslated?

    How bout instead of arguing with me you go research it yourself? I literally could not care less about convincing you of anything. Not my decision whose hearts God hardens.

    The Bible doesnt say anything about stoning gay people to death. My understanding that the Koran does and therein lies a problem with accepting all religious texts as equal. I dont believe they are, but this is Canada and we definitely would have a problem if the gov tried to rule that one text is acceptable and the other is not.

    Leviticus 20:13: "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads".

    Doesn't mention stoning, but it does say gay people should be put to death.
