Watching MHP smack down Joe Watkins every time he tried to claim the Bible bans homosexuality [View all]
was a thing of beauty. Every time the good Reverend tried to say certain proclamations were made, she said,'Nope. Not true.'
He finally had to fall back on that reliable hater Paul. She gave him the skank eye for that. (IMHO Paul needed another trip on the road to Damascus,)
She also smacked him down when he said that Jesus backed the Old Testament Levitical views.
Guess what Joe? There is a New Testament because of Jesus, and it's not a rerun of the first one.
If you don't believe, fine. However, fighting these religious ideas with different interpretations is necessary in a country as religious as this one. It is a crucial front in many battles that those like MHP are equipped and willing to fight.
Colbert King wrote a great column in the WaPo about how the Bible has been used to deny many people their rights:
'Equality Is Bigger Than The President'
