As Pride month starts so does the annual screeching, wailing, and whining from the so-called 'Family Values Christian Groups.' In fact, right on schedule to protest the annual 'Gays-Days' at the Walt Disney World Resort & theme park near Orlando, Florida, the American Family Association's Florida affiliate has rented two small planes to fly over the Disney Property to "warn" unsuspecting christians that the 'gays' are on the loose to 'ruin' the 'family' atmosphere of Disney World.
On its website, the Florida Family Association proudly thanks its supporters who donated $12,802.37 for the rental of two banner-carrying planes, to be flown on Sunday, June 3. "We also want to send a message that Gay Day’s public promotion of homosexuality to a captive audience inside the park is wrong."
Now, according to their self-proclaimed beliefs, christians are "commanded" by their Jesus person to help the poor and the needy and oh yes, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
Let us consider that at least 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day, hence $12,802.37 for the rental of two banner-carrying planes would feed 10 destitute persons daily, for approximately 3 years. Better still one could purchase roughly 1,280 malaria tents to help the battle against that disease in Africa or then vaccinations... never-mind, the point is made.
Why do so-called christians follow the teachings of a book that is repulsive? Ah, but then they 'cherry pick' even that book and their beliefs. A book that is this repulsive has no place in our society.
Example:
The vast majority of Americans believe that God exists, that Jesus is his son, and that God himself gave us the Bible and the Ten Commandments. In fact, Supreme court Justice Antonin Scalia has said that "Ninety-nine percent of Americans believe in the ten commandments." He has also said, "What the commandments stand for is the direction of human affairs by God."
If 99% of Americans believe in the ten commandments, how can the Bible be repulsive? Let's take the fourth commandment as an example. It says: Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. For six days you shall labour and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the alien resident in your towns. [Exodus 20: 8-9]
This, supposedly, is the word of God, the almighty ruler of the universe.
Now think about this. Wal-mart is open on the Sabbath. And so is Target. Best buy is open on the Sabbath. And so is Circuit City. Home Depot is open on the Sabbath. And so is Lowes. In fact, millions of businesses in America have employees working on the Sabbath. Even Christian Family Bookstores has employees working on the Sabbath.
What should we do with all of these people who are breaking the fourth commandment?
In the Bible's book of exodus - the same book that contains the ten commandments the Bible tells us what to do with everyone who breaks the fourth commandment. Exodus 31 verse 15 tells us exactly what to do: For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.
That's right. The Bible commands the death penalty for anyone who works on the Sabbath, and we should obey. Right? This means we have to kill tens of millions of Americans.
Should we line these tens of millions of Americans up and shoot them?
Should we put them in giant gas chambers?
I think we can all agree that the thought of killing millions of innocent Americans is repulsive. A book this repulsive has no place in our society.

We really haven't escaped the Dark Ages yet, have we?
In all fairness to the Book, guns don't kill people, people kill people. It is those who use the words within it who are repulsive, and stupid.
