Her big thing, these past few months, has been the same sex marriage issue. Of course Kim Davis is her hero du jour and deserves nothing short of outright worship.
Her justification for her foaming at the mouth, spittle flinging, irrational tirades against gays and her stubborn refusal to even consider the civil rights aspects of same sex marriage, are based on a relatively obscure old testament passage, in Leviticus. How it's an abomination that demands the deaths of participants.
I've pointed out to her that the passage is 38th or 39th in the list of "Leviticus abominations", and that either the things listed before are worse, OR all things listed are equal abominations. That those worse/equal things include not touching a pig, much less eating pork. She regularly makes weekend family breakfasts of eggs/ham/bacon. On the holiest of xtian holy days, Easter and xmas she serves huge baked ham dinners.
She wears blended fabrics, which Leviticus forbids as it also does working on Sunday, which she also does.
When I've pointed out to her the forbidden things she does, herself, her response is that the new testament supersedes the old testament, and because those things forbidden in Leviticus are not mentioned in the new testament, we are no longer bound by them.
When I've countered that, with her own reasoning, that wearing blends, eating pork, working on the sabbath are no longer "abominations" then neither is the gay lifestyle.
Her next move is to shriek that I'm wrong I just don't understand. The bible forbids it. It's right there in black and white.
There is no chance of reasonable, rational dialogue with these people.
As added bonus, I get to work with a guy who is just like my SIL, who is also a gun nut. He feels the neeed to pack a gun while at work. We drive cement and dump trucks. Go figure.
