That’s the Old Testament, which is not literally/strictly followed by Christians, nor by most people in other Abraham of religions. If you want to follow the Old Testament, be my guest, but you should also keepeth the Sabbath, giveth up pork, and kill anyone working on a Sabbath, doing seances, or says “god damn”. And if your child disobeys you, you don’t have to murder them yourself, but you must at least get your neighbors to murder them for you.
The New Testament compares homosexuality to greed and says that you won’t “inherit the kingdom of heaven.” If this woman wants to have a consistent world view, she should also check to make sure the websites she builds won’t be used for any greedy purposes such as usury. In fact, if she accepts payments by credit card…
- azth 5y ago> The New Testament compares homosexuality to greed and says that you won’t “inherit the kingdom of heaven.” So it says they will not enter heaven, why would you want to force her to go against what her religion tells her?
- sofixa 5y agoThey the gays, not they everyone who interacts with them.
- azth 5y agoInteraction is different from promoting their ideology, wouldn't you agree?
- elil17 5y agoI think it’s insane to say that making a website meant for someone’s friends and family to see is “promoting an ideology”. She would be primarily collating and displaying data provided to her by her client. It’s also plain offensive to call having a family an “ideology.” It’s just a thing people do, they’re living their lives.
- azth 5y agoBy making a website for homosexuals, she is aiding them to engage in a sinful activity. It's really quite straightforward logical behavior. And from Christianity's perspective (as well as many other faiths), this is not a "family". You don't get to impose your ideology on someone else like that. Where's freedom of expression, as per your own country's law?
- willcipriano 5y ago> which is not literally/strictly followed by Christians That is not accurate. The old testament is something like 80% of the bible. It contains the ten commandments, the story of creation and many other things that are still in use today. Like any other religion, different sects have different interpretations of the Bible, but I'm not aware of anyone who throws the old testament out entirely (it also wouldn't make much sense, Jesus is fulfilling a prophecy from the old testament, without that he's just some guy). Further, you will often hear about a "personal relationship with Christ" that the faithful have, that is to say everyone interpets the Bible differently.
- elil17 5y agoRight, but only political extremists pick and choose the parts that they think can promote hate and ignore the rest - which is what she’s doing by not keeping the Sabbath and not killing those who do not.
