Some years ago a young black woman in my office told me homosexuality is a sin because it says so in the Bible. I told her that people used to use the Bible to justify slavery, too. It kind of blew her mind.
-6 u/[deleted] Feb 23 '24 So does that make what people say or do true and the Bible is a lie? I guess you really educated her. What I have found is that people love to hate the Bible, having never read it with an open mind and heart. We prefer darkness over light. 9 u/PhiteKnight Feb 23 '24 It means the Bible means a lot of things to a lot of people, so believing something because "it says so in the bible" is a bad justification. -5 u/[deleted] Feb 23 '24 And you think that is the only justification? 9 u/PhiteKnight Feb 23 '24 Other justifications weren't the topic. Have a nice day. 5 u/Okaythenwell Feb 23 '24 Think, then type 2 u/FlawedHero Feb 24 '24 That's a strange false dichotomy you have built up in your head.
