The Lost Abominations...

I'm going to use the version of the Bible I was brought up on for this little experiment... the "New International Version" or NIV. I've been thinking about religion a lot lately... and whether or not my parents would ever come to accept as being gay. Their religion tells them not to... but what else have they been disobeying from the Bible? What other detestable abominations is EVERYONE partaking in during this day and age? You might be surprised...

Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.
Leviticus 18:22 (NIV)
...the standard cop out the right wing uses to call homosexuality
wrong.


Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the
edges of your beard.
Leviticus 19:27 (NIV)
...and my parents thought I was just lazy for following this one and
not shaving my beard off.

But all creatures of in the seas or streams that do not have fins
and scales - whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living
creatures in the water - you are to detest. And since you are to detest them,
you must not eat their meat and you must detest their
carcasses.
Leviticus 11:10 and 11 (NIV)
...guess my Dad won't have eating his favorite shrimp dishes
anymore.

Keep my decrees. Do not mate different kinds of animals. Do
not plant your field with two kinds of seed. Do not wear clothing woven of
two kinds of materials.
Leviticus 19:19 (NIV)
...Yikes! Lots of bad stuff here. My dad was a farmer in
his youth... and also had a huge garden in the backyard when I was growing
up. I never knew he sinned so much by planting corn, canteloupe,
cucumbers, watermelons, and tomatos all in the same field! And what about
all of the clothes my Mom has bought us made out of 50% polyester and 50%
cotton! FOR SHAME!

The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof;
it is unclean for you.
Leviticus 11:6 (NIV)
...FINALLY! One we've kept! We've never eaten rabbit or had
rabbits as pets... YAY for us! O.o

Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on
yourselves. I am the LORD.
Leviticus 19:28 (NIV)
...W00T! We're following this one too. My mom's ear's
aren't pierced and none of us have tattoos! But I wonder how many members
of the congregation do. I've seen at least two people with them.

Observe my Sabbaths and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the
LORD.
Leviticus 19:30 (NIV)
Each of you must respect his mother and father, and you
must observe my Sabbaths. I am the LORD your
God.
Leviticus 19:3 (NIV)
...Aw darn, and we were doing so GOOD too! Both my Mom and my Dad have worked every day of the week in their lifetimes. I have too... so when is this
Sabbath that we're suppose to observe by resting and not working?

Do not hold back the wages of a hired man
overnight.
Leviticus 19:13b (NIV)
...Wait! I'm suppose to be paid for the days work every day instead of
having it held until a payday set aside by the man who hired me?! I'm SOO
barging into my boss' office tomorrow and demanding he pay me because my
religion COMMANDS it!


If you're going to quote ONE ABOMINATION... QUOTE THEM ALL!

the vision's hazy...

I <3 Idina. ;)

So if you care to find me...
look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately,
Everyone deserves a chance to fly!
I'm defying gravity,
and you won't bring me down!

OOH PUULEEEEZE!!!

When all else fail, play the race card, eh Isaiah? It couldn't be your OWN fault that you lost your job on "Grey's Anatomy". Like maybe when you used the now infamous gay slur... TWICE!? Nah... And I LOVE how you did everything the network wanted you to do... as if you really AREN'T sorry for what you did in the first place. So all those meetings and counseling sessions you went to were just to keep you job... not to actually figure out why you're so hostile toward the gay community, huh? Kinda saw that one coming a mile away...
