I will need a future homophobe rebuttal

[HEyHEY]

There is this nutjob, that keeps sending letters to my paper, I won't print them because they are either homophobic or anti-Semitic. Now, I know she'll be phoning to bitch AGAIN that I didn't print her latest homophobic shit bag of words.
She's one of these "Oh praise the lord that he will smite the homosexuals" type people.

I really shouldn't, but I wanna hit her with some biblical passages that condemn her hatred for.....everyone.

Especially I want to nuke her thoughts that homosexuality is forbidden by the bible. But I'm not religious and have no idea where to find such info, any ideas?

1. Here's a good website

http://www.truluck.com

It has very good explanations about all Bible passages, and is good for people who have been Bible abused.

Hope that helps.

4. LOL

5. Have you seen that passage?

Have you seen what else it forbids? The best treatment of it I ever saw was on West Wing, where President Bartlett threw Bible quotes and questions at a right wing radio bimbette.

6. Publishing anything advocating harm to others...

(smiting of any kind, even if divine in nature)is a disservice to your readers.

7. Tell her she'll burn in Hell for Heresy. That ought to make her blink.

Hit her with the New Covenant made by Jesus' sacrifice when he was crucified.

The New Covenant Jesus made with people replaced the Old Covenant of Old Testament Laws. Once the New Covenant was made, all Old Testament Law became obsolete.

Hebrews 8:8-13

Evangelicals Christians are held to the New Covenant. It's HERESY for an Evangelical Christian to attempt to hold anyone to Old Testament Law. Heresy is an "instant ticket to Hell" type of sin.

8. Isn't it equally abominable...

to eat shellfish? Ask her if she goes to Red Lobster.

And doesn't keeping the Sabbath mean no work or travel on Sundays? If so, everytime she goes to Aunt Edna's for dinner or scrubs out the toilet bowl on Sunday evenings she further secures her seat in Hades.

Those two suggestions are subject to verifcation by someone who knows what the hell they're talking about.

10. Cheeseburgers with a milk shake sends you straight to HELL!!!!

Mixing meat and dairy. Instant ticket to hell.

9. Wow, could you print a letter of hers, AND do an editorial on it too???

bahahahahahahaha

Call her out PUBLICLY....

[MichaelUK]

14. Interesting idea

I remember someone did that in a local newspaper where I lived (Leamington Spa Courier, I think it was 1999 - could be wrong). The woman had to move home after the local (i say local, I mean about 10,000 individuals) gay and lesbian population descended on her house.

She left after 3 days.

12. Here's something for her...

Jesus' Warning To The Hypocrites

Jesus Christ did not mince words when it came to religious hypocrisy. That, more than anything else, is what got Him killed. His death was a staged assassination by a few religious hypocrites who The Lord was very effectively exposing to the people under their authority.

"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." (Matthew 7: verses1 thru 5 )

"Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Thus, when you give alms, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you." (Matthew 6: verses 1 thru 6 )

And another bit of advice to her from Jesus Christ: "LOVE ONE ANOTHER!" John 15, verse 12

16. I'm sure Jesus made a blanket statement or two... but for the moment:

"Judge not lest ye be judged" and "do unto others as you'd have them do unto you." are popular statements such 'christians' conveniently forget the instant the statements become a nuisance to their biases.

I'll find others later.

Go right ahead. Do use her religion against her. All is fair in war and they are the belligerant who started it. Using their own weapons against them might just finish it.

Remember a very potent phrase: "Go beat him up, he doesn't fight back." is used by bullies to give other bullies and bullies-in-training an easy target. People NEED to fight back. If using more civilized Bible passages is the weapon of choice, so much the better. There's nothing more stinging than attacking a person with what they find most sensitive, should they start attacking you. (Never pre-emptively attack, that's the sign of a savage. But if somebody attacks, you have the right to defend yourself as much as you can.)
