Been a fishy Friday with Mrs H and the girls being leftfooters. However, I've kept to my Good Friday tradition by going out and getting ratted. Sadly, not the Wellsprings as it used to be in the late 60's on Good Friday afternoon, but still kept the faith!

Exodus 21:17 "He that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death"

Deuteronomy 21: 18-21 "If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die"

Ludicrous? Of course. But there are supposedly intelligent people amongst us who use similar biblical quotes to justify their abhorrance of gay people.

Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."

Leviticus 20:13 - "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

So next time someone tells you that homosexuality is wrong because it is condemned in the Bible, ask them why they didn't slay their child when it misbehaved!

Only in America! Surprisingly, "The McKameys" have never made it big in the UK. I don't think they'd get past the first verse before the audience collsapsed in hysterics! Looks like Victoria Wood in one of her sketches.

Yes, when it comes to religious crimes, and their punishments, there's not a great difference between all those faiths who were founded in the Middle East, Judaism, Islam...or Christianity.

Not many of us believe in Anglo-Saxon, Roman, or Norse gods. Though we still adulate and honour their names daily, through usage.



What I find odd and puzzling, are Christians who don't follow God's law to the letter, as given to them in the Bible.

Deuteronomy 22:22 "If a man is found sleeping with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die."

Leviticus 20:10 "If a man commits adultery with another man's wife--with the wife of his neighbor--both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death."

Proverbs 6:32 "But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself."

Leviticus 21:9 "And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire."

Deuteronomy 25:11-12 "If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity."

Hell playing by those rules the population would be very thin on the ground
