I think I'll sue moveon.org for 60 million for causing me...what was it, chaos and demoralization? Yeah. Chaos and demoralization for not being left-winged to the point of idiocy.

Re: Gay man sues publishers over Bible verses

There could theoretically be religious leaders that would be held responsible for inciting violent actions against homosexuals. The Bible is not responsible for this and neither are the publishers of the Bible.

Re: Gay man sues publishers over Bible verses

He should sue God, not the publishers of the Bible. It's like shooting the messenger.

I can see the court case now:



Lawyer: Did you or did you not smite Sodom and Gomorrah?

God: Sure

Lawyer: And did this have anything to do with Sodomy?

God: A bit.

Lawyer: is it not true that you have a history of disliking homosexuality?

God: Well, I called it an abomination. It's like eating shellfish and unclean hooves or some **** like that. I can never remember because I used to do a LOT of drinking back then. Anyway, it's not like I created Adam and Steve, now is it?

Lawyer: So you admit you dislike homosexuals?

God: Well, I DID say that they should be stoned to death... Really, I am God... liek THE God... It's OK for me to say those things... well... because I'm the ****** creator of the Medamned universe.



At this point the courtroom would explode, the gay guy would become a pillar of salt and San Francisco would become a giant wheel of cheese or something like that.

Re: Gay man sues publishers over Bible verses

Imagine the precedent set if this nimrod actually won his case.

Really just think about it.
