...
I get so tired of this line. It feels like they're saying "We don't pick and choose. We're just selective about what verses we follow - that's totally different!"
And from this particular quote I also get the feeling of them saying "Yes, we do tend to follow the verses that tell us to discriminate against certain groups of people, and that's what makes me holier than thou! Can't you see how humble and pious I am when I decide that it's right to call homosexuals an abomination but ignore the rest of the book?"

At first glance, I thought the title read, "Why fundies can eat $#!+ and die. I guess it's not much different. I love that, "We can't pick or choose; we'll just be humble before God by bashing others." (Basically what Zabimaru said).
So, the only reason homosexuality is condmened and not eating non-fin, scaley (and not shellfish, as you gay-activists so insist is in the Bible to push your persecuting agenda) is because Paul (a nutcase who was worshipped after he fell and hit his head) said so.
Yeah, they can truly eat $#!+ and die for all I care.

OK, point by point... As if there were no contradictions in the Bible before the gay rights movement started... Which excludes shellfish! Twist the words however you want, the Bible still forbids eating shellfish. If the Bible is the Word of God, why wouldn't the kosher laws apply to Christians? Aren't kosher laws rules that God wants people to live by? Why else would He give those laws? Again, why shouldn't they. Circumcision is a way of showing your loyality to God and God's loyality back. Wait, what happened to Peter? Didn't Jesus say He would build his church with Peter as the foundation? Why does anyone care about Paul? Whether he wrote them or not is widely debated. Which is a strong argument against hating gays. Fornication is sex outside marriage. If Christians weren't hypocrits they would fight for laws making heterosexual intercourse outside marriage a crime. Also, by banning gays from marrying, they are FORCING gays to commit fornication. Allow same-sex marriage = stop gays from fornicating. Of course, those same verses say GOD FORCED IT TO HAPPEN! God caused the people in question to become homosexual. What kind of God forces something to happen and then condemns those He caused it to happen to? What about the civil laws from the OT? Why aren't Christians protesting to allow sex outside marriage to become a crime punishable by death?

Fuck it, I'm not going to try and figure out how fundies think. No, it's because the gays spread their contagion and filth in the form of STIs, especially HIV/AIDs. Never mind the epidemiology or virology of the matter.

If the fundies can't eat shellfish, well then, more crab cakes for me! But of course they don't think like that. "Jewish religious laws do not apply to us but ancient laws about morality do!"
Oh, and you know, they never actually answered your point about wanting to buy the guy's daughter...

The answer I always get is: "all those other laws dont count anymore, but the moral laws about sex do" "And the other moral laws about sex christians are spending millions of dollars fighting are..." "um..."

God retconned it in the NT.
You know, how in the OT there are several different creation stories? Each one that follows is just a retcon of the last.
The Bible makes so much more sense if you think of it as a bloody sexy comic book.
