HOW TO REJECT BIBLE BASED BIGOTRY

In the beginning, the elohim created skies and earth.

Welcome back. Let's think about bigotry.

I heard on the radio today that two states, one being Georgia, has legislation brewing that would legalize bigotry once again. 

This time, it would be in the name of Jesus as if Georgia would be doing Jesus a favor if this law passed.

It seems, according to the congressman I heard defending his silly law, there is a burden being borne by people of faith. It is a huge burden akin to the load of care that Jesus would take upon himself if we would swap yokes with him.

What is this burden?

It is the burden of being a fundamentalist (emphasis on mental) who has to sell food, groceries, clothes, or anything else to gay people.

Sorta like the burden white people endured when they had to sell food, groceries, clothes, or anything else to African-Americans.

Oh, the agony!  Bigotry does weigh heavy on the heart. Bigotry weighs even heavier on any nation whose laws lug its load of care throughout the society.

Evangelicals and fundamentalists have forgotten that citizens of the United States already clobbered each other over this conversation. They were on the wrong side of history then, just as they are on the wrong side of history now.

Our constitution forbids the establishment of religion or the prohibition of the free exercise thereof.

Bigotry may have exercised freely with religion in the past, but in this country we say, "Never again!"

Besides, bigotry is not the gospel. It is Biblical however from the curse of Ham to the persecution of Jews who inter-married with Babylonians.

The good news is that God loves us all without prejudice. So all my brothers and sisters who are fundamentalists by choice, who truck in hate, and who delude themselves that it’s sin they despise,  I urge you to repent.

Take your bigotry and stuff it inside a white sheet where it belongs. Then burn it.

That is how to reject Bible based bigotry.

Blessings...
