The Old Rule Book

[aims]

The Whole premise of Christianity
is that under the old testament rule book
no one
or hardly anyone could be saved
thus the need for the new plan,
scrapping the old
yet do may who call themselves Christians
still cling to just the parts of that old rulebook that suit them
that uphold their homophobia
and their "right" to discriminate accordingly.
All I gotta say to those people is:
"you can't pick and choose!"
either you buy it all or you leave it behind for the Jesus way!
If you're gonna cling to the old testament rules then . . .
Don't eat bacon. . . or shellfish
don't ever, hell! don't ever masturbate!
women, . . . hide yourselves away from society while you are on your period. . .
becauser you are unclean!!!!!

Hit the nail on the head here aims.

I've always felt that as long as what you do does not hurt others then it's ok.

Religion I'm afraid is out of step in many ways. As it is hypocritical at times.

Excellent write my friend.

The rule book may be old

But so is the way we read it

Rules are only as good as the paper they're printed on

It's up to us to decide what we want to do with them:

Ignore them and stray into anarchy

Or obsess over them like a totalitarian parent.

Life seems to need some rules.

But which rules, and who writes those laws?

The law needs writers. It also needs editors.

Our rules are only as good as the thoughts we think.

Rule books and judges and legislators, cardinals and popes, socialites and opinion-makers----

What it all comes down to is we need to square with the past so we can craft a future.
