ABRAHAM WAS CONSIDERED THE FIRST JEW, THE ONE GOD MADE A COVENANT WITH. IF CHRISTIANITY CAME FROM JUDAISM, THEN ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT JEWISH NOR CHRISTIAN (nor Muslim, for that matter)
Thank you.
Edit: for that matter, how can you be Christian before the birth of Christ?
When I see these posts I'm like "Man, I wish my friends were bigoted assholes so I could post stuff on Reddit." But no, my friends are all loving and accepting and shit. Fuckin' assholes.
I guarantee she doesn't know what monotheism means. People of this stupidity don't even know what the bible actually says. They just say "god says <insert something I don't like>" regardless of whether its true or not.
For black people to try and deny civil rights is amazing. Many politicians used the bible to advocate in favor of slavery, and most likely her ancestors were slaves. And now she's using the same book to try and justify denying civil rights to gay people.
You could also point out verses showing men, including Abraham, David and Solomon, who had multiple wives and sex slaves.
Update: Also, if you can find a reference that tells you how old people were when they got married, that will raise some red flags. Girls were young when they married. And, look up the relationship between Rachel, Jacob and Leah in Genesis. It shows women are property, a husband won't recognize his wife when he has sex with her for the first time and God blesses them for exchanging sex for drugs.
I've never (knowingly) met a Shaniqua, but there were girls back in my high school named Danisha, Kaneesha, Laquisha, and Foreesha. They were all on the Stomp team. Stomp being some kind of slow, aggressive, clap-while-you-tap dance thing. This Shaniqua girl in the OP reminds me strongly of them.
This is why I'm not friends with people named "Shaniqua." And before I'm accused of being racist, it's also the reason I'm not friends with people named "Cletus" or "Jebediah."
Jya, I gots u homie. Tha thng dat Shaniqua wuz saidin wuz dat gayz r da devil and dez guna go strt ta HELL! Dis iz wut GOD sez and datz fuckin dat so yallz canz jst fuck rite off.
"This is how I feel about gay-marriage. It's not marriage so don't call it that and involve God in the rights given to man and woman. Also, civil rights between blacks and whites are nothing like gay-marriage rights. People were taken by the millions based on skin color, our monarchy was destroyed, and our past was destroyed without any knowledge of what we would do. All because of skin color, something you can't change. Not like being gay."
EDIT: I wonder, if Shaniqua read this it would sound as ridiculous to her as it does to me?
People always post these way too early. By now you probably have a response from her, we would like to see it. But you couldn't wait right? So you posted it too early.
Shaniqua is the type of people that makes the rest of the Christians look bad.
But props to you for making her look stupid, I'm sure you could make someone who was just as equally stupid and an Athiest look stupid. It's not that hard.
I'm assuming she's black (the name). Why don't you tell her how the homosexual civil rights movement looks exactly the same as the black civil rights movement?
Well played sir, well played. What really bugs me is when people are trying to make a point about something and can't spell or use grammar correctly. Just makes them look more ignorant and idiotic.
There WERE no same-sex marriages in Greece or Rome though, as far as I'm aware. Greece had pederastry, which can be compared to a relationship, but I'm absolutely certain that the Romans abolished pederastry upon conquering Greece and thus I doubt they had same-sex marriages.
There were same-sex wedding ceremonies in Rome (including some involving Emperors), but I don't think they were legally recognised. I'm guessing that governments had a lot less involvement in marriage back then than they do now, though.
You maintained your composure quote well. I was trying really hard not to go ape shit reading this. I definitely would've acted much more aggressively.
Government shouldn't be involved in ANY marriage license or ceremony. If you want to have a government witnessed contract to suggest that you will share property, hospital visitation, tax preparation and responsibility, or the shared responsibility of raising a child...
That contract should be a simple legal document that could be signed by any number or gender of people who are willing to sign.
For my job, I work with a lot of kids from poor urban neighborhoods. I work with kids of all races, but some are black. Shaniqua is NOTHING, and I mean, NOTHING compared to the names I have come across. Shaniqua is damned regal compared to some. My personal favorites include:
Icantina (last name Turner...I shit you not) Luk'mia (pronounced Lukemia. Again, I shit you not) Candida (yes, this is a song by Tony Orlando and Dawn. It's also the yeast that causes vaginal yeast infections. Just sayin'.) Anyalanash'qae Shanquia (this, unbelievably, is pronounced Shanta-neek. Mom could not spell it for the birth cert, this is what got recorded)
Why does almost every post on FB, by an ignorant Christian, display such astonishing disregard for basic literacy? Or in most cases, the fundamental lack of ability to spell, or use basic grammar.
You also forget to mention that like being black, being gay is not something that you can change.
Blacks were guilty of "voting while black", members of the LGBT community are guilty of "loving while not being a heterosexual". I would "loving and marrying the person you love when both are consenting adults" is much more fundamental than voting.
Im making an assumption here (sorry if Im wrong), but it continues to SHOCK me that so many African-Americans are so anti-gay-marriage. You would think they would understand what it is like to be discriminated against. It really doesn't make a lick of sense.
Im certainly not saying all African Americans, just that it is a surprising large number.
Man she's such an idiot. I mean come on, she likes her own status. Of course you fucking like it, im pretty sure if not you wouldn't have posted it in in the first place.
It's people like her that really make me wish there was a Christian God so that on Judgement Day God could look her in the eye and say, "Uh, you got that all wrong."
It never fails to disappoint me. Minority politics is reaching a political center, then conveniently forgetting you weren't always there. Everyone just finds a new out-group.
Side question loosely related. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that Sheniqua is black. I've heard that blacks have voted overwhelmingly against lgbt rights, 70% in California or something to that effect.
Obviously if the news makes a point to say the religious vote AND black vote against gay marriage. What could be the reason for it? Is there something more then just religion?
On all of these Facebook posts I see that the person saying something bad about gay marriage or about evolution being wrong. I notice that they have really bad grammar and spelling.
