Religion and the LGBTQ community.

That's not calling for a theocracy, it's telling Christians to submit to the Roman Empire, which wasn't Christian.

It does depend on interpretation.

No it doesn't, it was written when Christians were a small minority and it's telling them not to revolt against the Romans like the Jews did.

[The Ozark Frontier]

Some sins you can not repent for because they're an essential part of who you are, meaning you can't make it go away.

You can still repent for them, can't you?

Yup! Just look at me~

[Geneviev]

It does depend on interpretation.

No it doesn't, it was written when Christians were a small minority and it's telling them not to revolt against the Romans like the Jews did.

And it has been used as justification for theocracy.

When?

[Herskerstad]

As in, not a theocracy.

Right, and not all of the countries marked Muslim are theocracies either.

Technically none of them are.

[New Emeline]

You can still repent for them, can't you?

Yes you can. That's kinda the whole point.

Yeah, that's always been my impression of it. Sort of "Hey God, sorry I'm gay, please forgive me" and you get into heaven. Which I don't exactly like, mind you, but it is what they believe.

No, it was a justification for the rule of kings.

Repentance means you change whatever you're repenting from.

If that was so, then all Repentance would be Meaningless.

[Geneviev]

And it has been used as justification for theocracy.

When?

I believe this was the source. It may not be.

[Dylar]

Repentance means you change whatever you're repenting from.

If that was so, then all Repentance would be Meaningless.

No...

That's really the whole point of repentance. You commit a sin, you confess it to the priest who is acting in persona Christi, you do the penance the priest assigns you and then you strive to never commit that sin again...

[United Muscovite Nations]

When?

I believe this was the source. It may not be.

That's not a mainstream Christian group, it's the site of a fringe apocalyptic group, that is not how it was used historically either, while the Quran was very much used to justify theocracy throughout history.

Well yeah. However, Most are Bound to commit that sin again. And, I think I might be a Diffrent Denomination... Idk~

The Bible was used to justify racism, the Quran wasn't. Your point is?

The Bible did not justify Racism. It talked about Slavery more in the Form of “Indentured Servitude.”

That's true, no muslim ever said white people were a race of devils created by an evil scientist.

You realize that historically there were many non-white Christians in Nubia and Ethiopia? As well as in India.

Nation of Islam I believe.

True, however, ISIS uses the Quran to justify inhumane acts towards the Infidel. Such as beheadings.

Let's be fair here: Nation of Islam isn't Islamic any more than Mormonism is Christian.

Have you never heard of the Curse of Ham?
