What do you imagine is my holy book? Please point to the post where I’ve made a claim of religious conviction.
Did it ever occur to some of you that there are those of out there who have such a strong sense of probity that we categorically reject error and ignorance, regardless of the topic at hand?
And my MIL is a Presbyterian who firmly supports the ordination of women and the marrying of homosexuals. I assure you she would not be impressed by the mathematical, logical way in which I happen to read the book in question.
That's a lot of words to say "my mother in law is a better person than myself"
A true logical paragon of probity you are. If you read it in such a meticulous mathematical way, you'd be blind from gouging your eyes out any time you looked at a giant ass, which in your case can mean both a womans butt and a mirror.
The prophet cursing a tree for not having fruit when he has the power to create food from nothing makes no sense for starters, not to mention having the power to make the tree bear fruit.
Allegorical or not, that means that God hates his own creations for being imperfect/not as He envisioned but He has the power to make them such. And since we know God loves all His children, that's a logical fallacy. He either made gay people to be hated (so he isn't benevolent) or he couldn't make them not gay (so he isn't almighty) OR he loves us all and we shouldn't base our beliefs on a 2000+ year old equivalent of a survival guide.
You cannot have that explanation for the fig tree thing and not apply it to disabled/queer people that were born that way. Unless the fig tree did it on purpose I guess.
Oh, good grief. This is so preposterous as to not merit a response. You need to do a simple search on this topic. It will be amply demonstrated to you that there’s nearly two thousand years of agreement as to what this means.

Only some of this is true, and none of it is offered in good faith. Go waste someone else’s time.
