Last time it was "Show of hands if you don't believe in evolution." What will it be Tuesday?
I'm thinking "Raise your hand if you deny the earth is flat."

Just to refresh your Biblical memory (as I know most DUers are too busy to keep up on their federally mandated Bible verse readings), the Good Book assures us that the earth is flat, albeit circular in shape. From Proverbs 8:25-29...


25 "Before the mountains were settled,
. . . . . . . . Before the hills I was brought forth;
26 While He had not yet made the earth and the fields,
. . . . . . . . Nor the first dust of the world.
27 "When He established the heavens, I was there,
. . . . . . . . When He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep,
28 When He made firm the skies above,
. . . . . . . . When the springs of the deep became fixed,
29 When He set for the sea its boundary
. . . . . . . . So that the water would not transgress His command,
. . . . . . . . When He marked out the foundations of the earth;



That's a lot less confusing than the debate over whether pi = 3 (2 Chronicles 4:2-5)

1. How about a show of hands for those who
don't believe in gay marriage;
don't believe in a woman's right to control her own health/body;
don't believe in "those people" coming here to OUR Country;


Which is code for:
hates gays;
hates women;
hate anyones not white/male.

2. That women must keep their hair long and covered and men have
to cut theirs?

"Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her as a covering." (1 Corinthians 11:13-15)

3. I'd be curious to hear the answer to this one
The King James Bible says, and I quote, "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death."

Do you believe that gay men should be put to death? If not, please explain how you can pick and choose which parts of the Bible to take literally.

4. kinda funny there's no mention of
a woman who also lie with a womankind, as she lieth with a man....

I guess being a lesbian is ok with God? or at least the King James version of God
