An Anti-Theist’s Interpretation Of The Bible’s Opinion On Same-Sex Marriage
April 29, 2015 by Peter Mosley

Here’s my interpretation of the Bible’s opinion on Same-Sex marriage:

Anything derogatory it says about same-sex marriage is nothing more than prejudice against gay individuals by primitive tribes.

...

So, what I’d like you to do is throw your Bible away. Because, honestly, this is ridiculous. Why the heck would you hang on to that ancient rulebook crafted by bigots? It’s time to look past that to people who exist and who love each other.

I guess that’s why I’m an anti-theist. I see progressives and conservatives and fatheists arguing over what God supposedly “REALLY” said, and I’m standing here like — can we move pass this? Can we move past trying to get to the “true” meaning of texts and start looking at, like, the flesh and blood people right in front of us?

...

I mean, this is absurd. I’m tired of being trapped in a stone age when there are people in the current age who want to show their love for each other.

Let’s quit making this so damn complicated. Two people love each other. They want to get married. Awesome.

Leave it to an anti-theist to point out the obvious: "when you’re trying to engineer an egalitarian society, messing with nonexistent variables doesn’t seem all that helpful."
