Do Not Call Morgan Freeman "A Man of God"!

Actor Morgan Freeman being interviewed on CNN about his new series, "Through the Wormhole". He objects when the co-host refers to him as a "man of god", but agrees with her to being a man of faith — faith in science!

transcript:

Co-Host: And you said before, Morgan, that you're a man of god. When you did this and some of these questions were posed—

Freeman: When did I say I was a man of god?

Co-Host: You're not?

Freeman: [laughing] No-o-o-o-o-o-o-o. No, no, no, no, no.

Co-Host: You're a man of faith.

Freeman: Faith. There's a big difference.

Co-Host: Alright, so, the question of faith leads us, most of the time, to a god. What is your view of faith?

Freeman: Questions of faith is whatever you actually believe is. We take a lot of what we're talking about in science on faith. We posit a theory, and until it's disproven, we have faith that it's true. If the mathematics work out, then it's true. Until it's proven to be untrue...

'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have

done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will

be on their own heads.' (Leviticus 20:13)

There is about ten more. Do people who study religion know anything about what they believe?

"If we can imagine it, we can do it...." That is pseudo-intellectual drivel.

@landonggg The bible is someones guideline of someone elses guidelines of someone elses "rules". It isnt ment to be taken as facts or anything, im not religious but this is pretty damn fucking obvious.

@Lutherblue2004 It's your thing, just leave people who think otherwise in their own misery...You will never convince me the Bible is a good phenomena, nor will I ever convince you the Bible is just a book...You will never convince me it teaches love, nor will I convince you it teaches hate as well...But I respect your path if you respect my path...That's all we non-religious ppl want, respect...And if you show some, we show it too...

@byanarokko Brother..I didnt come on here to bash gay people or their beliefs.I realize you know I havnt mentioned that.I dont know why some people show hate instead of love..All I know is that God loves everyone and wishes all to repent.In Gods eyes,the way I believe and was taught sin is sin.If God says its sin it is.I believe there will be all kinds of people in heaven.The important thing is how do we get there and we only have what is written in scripture to tell us that.

@landonggg Those that do know that that's a punishment under Old Covenant Law that hasn't applied since Christ came to take the punishment for our sins upon Himself. Noone is meant to be killing people in modern times for being gay based on the Bible.
