And as if further proof were needed, the congregation of St George's Tron Churh in Aberdeen have decided to leave the Church of Scotland over the matter of Marriage equality.
You see, they don't believe in Equality.
And why would I, or anyone who does believe in Equality, possibly want to share a common independence with any of them.
It beggar's believe that any follower of Christ, who preached love and not homophobia would stoop so low.
And think of it. A guy in his early thirties, who doesn't have a wife, and who doesn't have any history of girlfriends, nor showing interest in having one, and surrounding himself with 12 male followers, what do you think the tabloids would make of this?
When Paul wrote to the Corinthians decrying homosexuality, he did so quoting not from Christ's teachings, but rehashing homophobia from the Old Testament, as if to bring it directly into Christianity. But it isn't Christ's Christianity.
Perhaps folks should get with the program. who is any longer interested in living Old Testament lives, or the puerile ramblings of a middle east warlord from the AD 600s?
These ancient religions should have no place in a modern society.
Or we'd still be poking eyes out because that's what the bible says we should be doing for so called justice.
Shouldn't Scots grow up before even thinking about independence? As far as I'm concerned the 300 poor souls in Aberdeen can remain just that. Because they are hypocrites.
When the hypocrisy has been dealt with, perhaps then we will have grown up enough to venture forth as one nation.
