A Church Without Closets
This is a church sign on one of my recent Sunday rides.
A Church Without Closets
It strikes me very odd because they are they ones who build the closets. Atheist only until modern times weren't even allowed to voice what they believe. They would be persecuted to death and where the Righteous have they power, such as Ghana today, they will do it. The Bible tells them to stone all kinds of people who are different.
Things you can be put to death for (stoning unless noted otherwise)
- if you are a medium (Lev 20:27)
- if you blaspheme Jehovah's name (Lev 24:16)
- if you worship a different god (Deu 13:6-10)
- if you rebel against your parents (Deu 21:18-21)
- if you are a drunk (Deu 21:18-21)
- if you are a woman who is not a virgin when she marries (Deu 22:20,21)
- if you are gay (Lev 20:13)
- if you work on the Sabbath (Num 15:32-26)
- if you are a witch (Lev 20:27)
- if your father is a priest and you become a prostitute (burned to death) (Lev 21:9)
- if you are a woman and you didn't scream loud enough when you raped (Deu 22:23-24)
By Jesus' time if you even think something wrong you will burn in hell for ever. Well, you were born in sin so it doesn't matter what you do, say or think you are going to hell. But the punisher is also the deliverer.
So there are tons of reason for people to hide. And don't think that facade of a smile on the church goers is there naturally. They have to paste it on to avoid being hassled or worse. Praise Jesus. If I don't believe in Him I am going to Hell so I better pretend I love the Big Guy who put me in this mess only to save me and I have to ignore the former and give him credit for the latter.
I like to think about what sign I could post right next to the one presented. Here is mine:
Free closet - inquire within.

A Religious Stoning Yesterday
A Christian fundies dream.
KABUL, Afghanistan — Taliban militants in northern Afghanistan stoned a young couple to death for adultery, which a rights group said was the first confirmed use of the punishment here since the hardline Islamist regime was ousted in 2001.
The Taliban-ordered killing comes at a time when international rights groups have raised worries that attempts to negotiate with the Taliban to bring peace to Afghanistan could mean a step backward for human rights in the country. When the Islamist extremists ruled Afghanistan, women were not allowed to leave their houses without a male guardian, and public killings for violations of their harsh interpretation of the Quran were common.
This weekend's stoning appeared to arise from an affair between a married man and a single woman in Kunduz province's Dasht-e-Archi district.
The woman, Sadiqa, was 20 years old and engaged to another man, said the Kunduz provincial police chief, Gen. Abdul Raza Yaqoubi. Her lover, 28-year-old Qayum, left his wife to run away with her, and the two had holed up in a friend's house five days ago, said district government head, Mohammad Ayub Aqyar.
They were discovered by Taliban operatives on Sunday and stoned to death in front a crowd of about 150 men, Aqyar said.
First the woman was brought out and stoned, then the man a half an hour later, Aqyar said. He decried the punishment, which he said was ordered by two local Taliban commanders.
A spokesman for the provincial government also condemned the act.
"It is against all human rights and international conventions," said spokesman Mabubullah Sayedi. "There was no court. It was cruel."
Amnesty International said it was the first confirmed stoning in Afghanistan since the fall of Taliban rule in the 2001 U.S.-led invasion.
Do not watch this if you are faint of heart. It is simply awful. Praise Allah, the religion of peace. What you get with primitive desert religions.
