WWJD Part 2.

Irony. The Traditional Values coalition has published this poster to justify their position versus gays. These people need a mirror! how can they fail to see that they depict their own God as a bigot when they do this?

Indeed the contradictions in the "Bible" are the source of a lot of hate crime. It is notable that there is only one place in the Bible (that is the Cristian compilation) where tolerance of others beliefs is expressed .. the Torah celebrates the prophecies of a pagan prophet called Balaam.

Jesus and tolerance do not go together very well unless it means tolerance of those who follow him. Take the story of the money changers. This is worthy of an antisemitic screed in the Nazi's Der Sturmer , Of course money was changed in the Temple courtyard. The Temple was the source of authority, for better or worse, esp under the Roman supported Hasmonean Kings. The story is an effective turnaround, the Jews .. they profane the Temple .. yet the Temple itself was misused in that Era by the quisling priests just as much later complicit priests would support fascist regimes.,

I wonder if there is not someplace in the Christian world a seer whow could redeploy the mythology of Jesus in a spirit of tolerance?
