    Want me to list all the parts of the Bible where it commands Christians to kill gays…?

    But that’s not even the point. You know just as well as I do - Christians of each century have always cherry picked the Bible. There’s a currently fashionable interpretation of the same book that keeps changing over time. Pick a different country and a different century, suddenly people are burning witches.

    The exact contents of the Bible don’t even matter that much, it’s the fact that Christians are free to interpret it to their liking.

    The Bible isn’t the framework I was talking about. The framework is the Bible plus the man with the funny hat can tell you whatever the fuck he thinks it means and what makes you blindly serve his current agenda.
