Reply to comment by [deleted] in Y'all see the anti gay billboard in the city? by Sillloc

Jesus didn’t hate shit man. That’s kind of the whole point of the book. And the idea that being gay is a sin comes from the same chapter of the Old Testament where it says you shouldn’t get tattoos or eat shrimp. Leviticus is full of absolute nonsense rules.

If you’re going to call yourself a Christian you need to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, and Jesus didn’t teach you to judge anyone’s way of life

Kind of silly to assert that Jesus doesn't hate sin:

>And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. Mark 7, 20-23

I try to live my life by the teachings of Jesus Christ but goddamn y’all make it hard to call myself a Christian when the people wearing that label use it to murder and terrorize people like me

Could have sworn there was something in the bible about pointing out specks in people’s eyes when you have a whole plank in yours… idk must have imagined it.
