Lawrence O’Donnell vs Louie Giglio

[Plane]

“This time, as it was last time for the first time in history, the book will be held by a First Lady who is a descendent of slaves. But the holy book she will be holding does not contain one word of God condemning slavery. Not one word. But that same book, which spends hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pages condemning all sorts of things and couldn’t find one sentence to condemn slavery, does indeed find the space to repeatedly condemn gay people, as the now banished Louie Giglio said it does. And as the First Lady is holding that book for the President, sitting someone near them will be a pastor who the Inauguration Committee will make sure is much more adept at hiding what that book actually says than Louie Giglio was.”

     It is nice that his views are not hidden nor weasel worded, it is plain that he thinks the Bible is anti-american.

     Rediculous to me , I think the best parts of the USA were shaped by these scriptures , without them we would never have shaken off slavery nor rejected Communism, I think our law hnges on this tradition and the alternative is endless experimentation.

The Bible is useless as any sort of political document.

There is wisdom in the Bible, and there is also idiocy, superstition, misygony, homophobia, racism, recommendations of genocide, demonology and silliness in the Bible.

It is not anti-American, it is not pro-American, it is simply a book of uneven history, mores, superstition, morality and nonsense written long before this country was formed.

The Book of Revelation is printed poison. How many Jim Joneses has it inspired? How many deranged lunatics has it justified?
