Six things the Lord Hates...Which apply to Hillary and which to Bernie?

[masmdu]

#Proverbs6:16-19 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

[Arkansas Granny]

1. I'm pretty sure you're going to tell us.

[masmdu]

3. Nope. I'll leave it up to you to determine.

[bravenak]

2. proselytizing?

[masmdu]

4. Just asking a question.

[bravenak]

5. Regarding the Christian bible? Really?

This is way out

[dchill]

35. The Bible is NOT "way out."

Even as an avowed agnostic, I find much of value in it. Don't you?

[bravenak]

37. No. I find nothing much of value in it at all.

Grew up devout. Have no use for it's sexist bullshit.

[Fumesucker]

74. The Bible is Hillary's favorite book and she takes many life lessons from it

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/15/books/review/hillary-rodham-clinton-by-the-book.html?_r=0

If you had to name one book that made you who you are today, what would it be?

At the risk of appearing predictable, the Bible was and remains the biggest influence on my thinking. I was raised reading it, memorizing passages from it and being guided by it. I still find it a source of wisdom, comfort and encouragement.

[bravenak]

76. So what?

[Fumesucker]

79. Hillary was just pandering and didn't really mean it

But I thought you'd like to know where she says her philosophy comes from.

[bravenak]

80. I been knew that

She prays all the live long day. Not my thing, but I don't do religions. So why should I care? I come from a very religious family, she'd fit right in with them and get on my nerves during holidays if she came round us to sit for a spell. Long as she dont expect me to pray, fuckit.

[Eko]

71. None.

As an atheist I don't need it at all to tell what is right and wrong.

[msanthrope]

10. Get the popcorn. In the nothingburger that is the emails, we now

see The Old Testament being brought to judge a woman.

[bravenak]

14. I hope we dont have to stone her once judgement is passed by the mens council

[msanthrope]

19. Month Python covered that.....

&app=desktop

[bravenak]

25. Perfect!!

[msanthrope]

29. "Are there any women here? " nt

[bravenak]

32. Hee!!!

[masmdu]

27. Actually if you are not a person of faith you don't have to worry about this.

[msanthrope]

33. Well that's a great way to market your faith! nt

[bravenak]

36. What is the punishment proscribed in the Bible on how to stone nonbelievers?

That's my group so, I'd like to know what's coming down the pike.

[masmdu]

43. No judgement / punishment. Just asking "Christian" Democrats to consider this...

[bravenak]

51. No, that's doesn't sound correct.

Wasn't it genocide? Go into this town, put the nonbelievers to swords, klll them, but take the virgins for themselves is what I was told. Poor virgins.

[masmdu]

56. I mean of you by me...

[bravenak]

63. Don't you worry

The council of thought crimes will take care of me. I'll wear my good dress for the stoning. Gotta look my best for the crowds.

[auntpurl]

58. Was it swords?

I thought for sure it was crucifixion for heretics? I don't know, it's been years since I was forced to do my confirmation.

Either way, see you in the special Hell!

[bravenak]

61. Now I'm confused again

Maybe it's a stake through the heart and burying us at the crossroads. Or that could just be the punishment for suicide...
They really need to come up with some standards of execution that we can remember. All this willy nilly stoning, why, we might be getting things wrong and are supposed to be using dragonfire. Who know?
I'll get stones AND swords AND wooden stakes. That way I'm always prepared.

[auntpurl]

64. Don't forget burning!

You need bundles of sticks too. A good witch burning really brings the community together.

[bravenak]

67. I need a rucksack.

Gotta keep my tool of the trade together in some semblance of order. Why do we do if we just SUSPECT that a woman might be a witch? I thought it was drowning her, but my mom says poison. We better do both. My neighbor has a grip of cats, her familiars I believe. Might need to witch test her.

[jcgoldie]

6. how many votes does the lord get?

I'm guessing not enough to help Bernie win the nomination at this point.

[Attorney in Texas]

8. He's a superdelegate

[msanthrope]

11. maybe the bros can beseech him. nt

[Ned_Devine]

57. Who are the bros?

[auntpurl]

18. LOL

[masmdu]

9. Many people's beliefs inform their choice of who to support.

[840high]

47. Amen.

[msanthrope]

7. Which Lord is this? Voldemort? nt

[masmdu]

12. Christian

[msanthrope]

15. Who is Lord Christian? nt

[masmdu]

17. Thick or mean?

[msanthrope]

21. Remember that blasphemy is a victimless crime. nt

[oasis]

13. Bernie's gotta use that angle to liven up his stump speech.

What kind of heathen is going to disagree with both the Lord and the Pope?.

[Starry Messenger]

16. "a person who stirs up conflict in the community."

There will be a lot less of these on DU in a couple of weeks. I guess we will see who the lord raptures up and who will be left behind.

[Matt_in_STL]

28. It's my understanding that Hillary supporters will be staying

Has that changed?

[Starry Messenger]

31. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Me, I'd start with banning all the people blocked from the African-American group and work my way back.

[bravenak]

38. Great idea.

[Starry Messenger]

42. No one ever takes my suggestions, sadly.

[bravenak]

49. Mine either, sadly

I suggested hiring black folks on a certain campaign a year ago. They lost the black vote and somehow blamed my for it. I tried.

[Starry Messenger]

54. So true!

Listening skills are so important, but so overlooked. I guess when all else fails, pull out the Bible and look for advice there. Hope the OP avoids shellfish and mixed-blend fibers too.

[bravenak]

65. Blasphemy!!

You just judged a MAN!!! Let me get my stones out for ya. Gotta take to to be judged by the mens council now.
(I'm wearing a cotton poly blend. I think they are gonna stone me soon)

[Matt_in_STL]

39. If you say so

Some people were blocked simply for questioning an anti-semitic rant, or simply posting the link. I guess if that's the route you'd take, I'd hate to be part of that site anyway.

[840high]

48. ...!100++++

[auntpurl]

20. Yeah the bible also says I should be put to death for wearing different fibers together

I don't really look to the bible to inform any of my decisions in life.

[cali]

22. I don't give a shit what some man, making up shit

close to two thousand years ago said.

[msanthrope]

23. Hey...don't look at us....this is a cleanup in your aisle 4. nt

[cali]

34. If you haven't figured it out yet, I have a low tolerance for rank stupidity

wherever it comes from.

[Eko]

72. Bravo Cali.

[MisterP]

60. 26:11

[Lizzie Poppet]

24. 7) Me.

Which, if there were any such things as gods, might concern me.,,

[msongs]

26. so if non-christians are going to hell when they die, what about bernie? nt

[bravenak]

30. Shall we also follow the rules on disobedient children?

So much stoning to do, so little time. And shall we stone our disruptors at the edge of town or the town square? I cannot recall the correct method.

[auntpurl]

40. I had a cheeseburger for dinner tonight

Do I need to bring my own stones, or will they be provided?

[bravenak]

45. We just go to Home Depot now and buy the bricks.

You may want to bring stones to stone those ahead of you in the stoning line. You can stone them, they can stone you, fun days.

[Amaril]

41. This thread would probably be more appropriate in one of the Religion groups

but I do have to say..........the responses have me

[auntpurl]

52. This is my favourite OP in a month.

I need a laugh. This place has been so dire.

[MisterP]

62. maybe the Clintonistas and New Atheists will hold hands and skip happily into Iran

at the head of a tank column XD

[Garrett78]

44. Who is this "Lord" of which you speak?

Sounds made up.

[MineralMan]

46. Deities can't vote in the United States.

They're non-corporal entities. They exist only in the minds of people, as far as I can tell. Why are we using religious scripture to discuss Democratic candidates. This should have no place in our political discussions.

[masmdu]

50. No. But some Democrats are also Christians and their moral perspective is informed by religion.

[Garrett78]

53. Religion is a disease.

Hopefully it'll one day be eradicated.

[masmdu]

73. Hillary disagrees.

[Garrett78]

86. And that matters why?

[Tarc]

55. And we care about the words of a fantasy creature created by wandering sheepherders...why?

[masmdu]

59. Your beliefs are not in question. But for those Christian Democrats this is something to consider.

[raging moderate]

66. Sounds like Dick Cheney to me.

Or any one of a number of Republicons.

[Eko]

68. Which is why we have separation of church and state thankfully.

No need to let a 405 year old book give us advice.

[masmdu]

69. You do realize Hillary is a Christian and quotes scripture, don't you?

[MisterP]

77. her faith is a Family affair

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/barbara-ehrenreich/hillarys-nasty-pastorate_b_92361.html
('s okay masmdu, they don't realize she's white and rich, neither)

[masmdu]

91. VERY interesting link, thanks!

[Demsrule86]

70. Did the lord send you a burning bush or something

Personally I find Bernie kind of haughty.

[jmg257]

75. Lord Voldermort? He hated Harry Potter too. Sauron? He had a cool ring or 2. Go Frodo! nt

[bjo59]

78. I appreciated the reminder of this from the Book of Proverbs.

[Thinkingabout]

81. This sums up the description of Sanders, he has the haughty eyes, his lying tongue said he had never

run a negative campaign and immediately changed this, he has voted many times for military action, it gives MIC's more defense funds, his campaign has devised a wicked scheme to have the super delegates would swing to endorse him, feet that was quick to rush into to say Hillary said he was not qualified when she did not say this, he was a false witness who made the announcement saying Hillary said he wasn't qualified and therefore she was not qualified, and he is not able to keep his supporters from using threats to others in the community.

[bravenak]

82. +1

[emulatorloo]

83. God help all those evangelicals for Trump then.

[Beausoir]

84. This thread is gold. Makes me nostalgic for the old DU.

[auntpurl]

90. Me too. WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM!

That's an oldie from the Lounge. I'm probably the last person here who remembers that.

[longship]

85. Weak sauce. No substance here.

The Bible is not how we select our governmental representatives. There's this thing in Article VI of the US Constitution about "religious tests".

The last paragraph (emphasis mine):

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Too bad that so many religious people are either ignorant or in denial.

[masmdu]

87. Never said there should be a religious test, only that Christian Democrats may want to consider this

[longship]

88. I'll stand by my post.

My best to you.

[masmdu]

89. Hillarians doth protest too much...perhaps seeing her in a different light?

[msanthrope]

92. Um, no. I don't care if she's the Queen of Hell....I'm voting for her. nt

[timmymoff]

93. None apply, because that stuff is fake

[MisterP]

94. how are proverbs fake? by definition they're, y'know, proverbs ...
