Leviticus 20:13 (New International Version) 13 " '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.

heispeace10, you fundamentalist, neanderthal throwback. "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." Obviously you are anti-Christ.

[callouschristian]

Thanks for reminding us of this, yet another conservative terroristic attack on our constitution, StartLoving2.

[StartLoving2]

You are so welcome caustic. Terrorist indeed. You are very welcome here. Start

its unbelievable that people arent allowed to deny something which has NEVER been proven to exist....

what else but on the subject of "god" would we allow such irrationality?

I think it says a lot about religious extremists that they are willing to essentially commit treason against their country's own constitution simply to remove a democratically elected official whose beliefs don't happen to coincide with their own.

Ultra-religious conservatives ultimately don't really care about rule of law, patriotism, the Constitution of the United States, but rather about imposing their own narrow-minded theocratic viewpoint on others.

'Leviticus' was obviously a bad bad man. Lol... Also, that law states that someone may not hold office if they DENY the presence of "the Almightly God". If he says he simply doesn't believe in it, technically he's not Denying it. The law is invalid anyway according to consitution

Thank GOD for the ACLU>

What about Leviticus 20:9? "For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.". why don't you go out and fufill that comandment? Surely theres enough children around that have cursed theire parents once our twise in theire life that you can go and stone to death.

And if you took the Bible literally, you could simply divorce your wife by claiming she was not a virgin before marriage. If the father cannot disprove it (HOW he does that is not explained), she will be killed by stoning.

And if a woman is raped in a city and doesn't scream loud enough, she is also to be killed by stoning.

Yes, either she gets her throat slit for not keeping quiet or she gets her brains beaten to mush for not screaming.

@Heispeace10

You want to take everything in the Bible seriously? Really!?!? Then I suggest you buy a Communist Manifesto book and sell everything you have and feed everyone who is hungry.

Luke 18:25:

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a pin than for a rich men to enter the Kingdom of God."

So I believe that you must give up capitalism, right-wing beliefs, your money, your bourgeoisie ideology, and all inequality and become a socialist.

After all, the Bible says so.

Isn't O'Reilly demonstrating that his belief is more determined by what he wants to be true rather than what evidence shows? This is exactly what sparked me to realize that there probably is no afterlife -- there's no good evidence and people just see the afterlife as whatever they believe to be ideal.

I had this crazy dream that the Christians failed to realize that their beliefs are bat-fucking-crazy due to indoctrination. It makes for a terrifying world, the ignorance of religion.

I do believe it was the prophet God who promoted the idea of religious tolerance. Luckily, we have dirty-south born rednecks who don't understand that just because there are other religions in the world doesn't mean that they're all wrong and going to hell.

I am a Christian, and for the 1st time, I have to agree with Maddow on something. This country was not meant to be a strictly Christian country. What would have happened had this man been a Buddist? Or Hindu?? Having said that, if he doesn't believe in even the exsistance of God, why make a bog deal about saying " So help me God"....would have saved him a lot of heart ache it seems. i can pledge anything to the Easter Bunny, and it wouldn't matter.

@Heispeace10 The Bible is a very poor source of morality

Slaves, obey your human masters in everything, not only when being watched, as currying favor, but in simplicity of heart, fearing the Lord. (Colossians 3:22 NAB)

or... When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. Exodus 21:7-9 NLT

@Heispeace10 "But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you.

They shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination." (Leviticus 11:10-11)
