Religious Moderates Are Those Who Reject God’s Clearly Stated Commands Using Their Own [Human] Morality as Justification
I’ve written before about my issues with religious moderates who build their own religions by arbitrarily rejecting and embracing various pieces of their chosen holy text.
To give a few examples, most Christians are unaware that God has very specific and clear instructions on when people should be killed for violating his rules:
So…
Using God’s name in vain
Working on Sunday
Cussing at your Mom or Dad
Having gay sex
Sleeping with a man’s wife (and kill the woman, too)
…these are all punishable by death, according to God. Look it up. But how many Christians actually believe it would be “moral” or “right” to actually kill for these offenses?
Very few.
The ones that do have a name–they’re called fundamentalists or extremists. Moderates don’t actually believe what’s in the Bible; if they did they would be following God’s very clear and specific orders instead of using the Bible as an “influence” on their own pick-and-choose morality. ::
