To: Faith Presses On

There is coming a time when all true believers will have to separate themselves from any and all government help or involvement. It’s going to get interesting.

And notice how the argument is running in the Atlantic comment section.

It's the old shrimp-and-linsey-woolsey argument (Don't bother me with Leviticus!" They seem to have missed everything that 2,000 years of detailed and profoundly significant, reasoned discourse about the levels and kinds of law found in the Hebrew Scriptures: mainly, cultural separation codes, health-safety best practices, the rubrics of ritual conduct, and moral law. They also ignored the fact that New Testament Law superseded Old Testament Law, since the OT law "brought nothing to perfection" (Hebrews 7:19).

The Gay Christians and their allies seem to think they're among the first to realize that, OMG, Christians don't keep kosher. And following upon that, it appears they think they can just take an x-acto knife and a tweezers, extract a couple of verses about shrimp, adulterers and Canaanites, wad them up into a spitball and whap them into somebody's eye, and that settles the argument.

In other words, they argue like a clipart-cartoon fundamentalists.

I think they could probably do better, and --- I don't think I'm alone in saying this --- I'd like to see them try.
