Leviticus 20:13
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.


Deuteronomy 22:22
“If a man is found lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman. So you shall purge the evil from Israel.

Deuteronomy 20:23
20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you.

22 If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die. You must purge the evil from Israel.

23 If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, 24 you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the girl because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man's wife. You must purge the evil from among you

Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,

A few stories here and there to get the uninformed and uneducated to believe in an omnipotent deity.

Bottom line was though, they were still written by a bloke.

I'm going to start praying to the Wizard of Oz. Some bloke wrote it, so it must be true.

Now where's my Louboutins?

Climate change is a conspiracy yet you feel safe to type on some device and post on the Internet. As though one is somehow a dangerous lie and the other innocuous. How do you arbitrarily decide this? No really how?
I assume you don't worry that you car will explode tomorrow morning when you start it or that your phone will electrocute you that gravity will hold you down when you get out of bed.

The scientifically illiterate seem to be wilfully ignorant of the fact that you can't and don't get to choose that which is true.

The following is from the New Testament......

Mike, you get an F for this 'effort'. Pay more attention the next time.
