Like it or not, Jesus amended the BIBLE and the Supreme Court Amends the Constitution. Recognize true reality and live with these two so important facts and allow ALL mankind to live harmoniously with one another.

From what I have observed.... people LOVE to pull out the scriptures when it fits their plan and ignore them when it doesn't. Gay marriage.... scripture says bad... Ignore multiple wives which the bible condones. I posted a several scriptures regarding how God feels on several subjects.... they were ignored. People acted like they weren't there .... Well... one person did, but that didn't have anything to do with the scriptures as much as it was a matter of, please don't show me what I don't want to see.
People really shouldn't quote scriptures unless they want them quoted back at them. You are worshiping a God who would want you to treat people lesser than you? What religion is this? No...... never mind..... don't bother answering that.... I've asked several l questions here and none have been answered so I won't expect an answer to this one either.
This is no different than the black issue. If a vendor won't "serve" a group of people for any reason.... (I will write what hasn't been written here) they are a "bigot". People will use the Bible as an excuse to treat others bad..... Really a shame.... I would be more impressed with your religion if I saw people using it for treating others nice.
