Man tattoos Leviticus 18:22 that forbids homosexuality on his arm...
« on: Feb 18, 2011, 02:04:07 PM »


"Yesterday, Andrew Sullivan put up a post about an extremely brutal hate-crime attack on an openly gay man. The 2-minute news report he embeds is depressing, but there was something to laugh about at the end. The studio interviewed one of the attackers’ friends, who proudly displayed this tattoo.

It’s a tattoo reading “[Thou] shall not lie with a male as one does with a woman. It is an abomination. Leviticus 18:22?. Who else sees the problem here?

Leviticus also forbids tattooing. In the very next chapter.

“Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:28?"

Clearly, this guy is all about love and acceptance.

Like a Republican legislator he seems to believe that constantly expressing hatred for gay people will put an end to his own overpowering homoerotic fantasies.

Heterosexual men realize that for every gay man they have that much less competition for the ladies.

Considering how much God cares about fashion in Deut, Lev and Numbers; if God is male He must be Gay.

Haha this is pretty hilarious.  It's spectacularly ignorant to do something to promote one "rule" which clearly violates another "rule".  It's this all over again.

i just saw the video of the beating.  It was pretty savage.  Two guys just unleashing everything they can muster into the body of a defenseless man twice their age.  Hate can make people behave so irrationally that  it fills me with a terrible sense of awe.

I bet the guy in the OP rounds his locks and talks to wizards. It's hard to live up to Leviticus. : /

I wonder what that scum's reaction would be if he was told. 

I am sure the disconnect would be staggering.
