As if we didn't need another reason to hate christians...

ok, so here is a beautiful little christian which Mary found, and I just couldn't keep my hands of it.



Obviously there are so many things that are just DUMB about this whole argument. Brother "Cloud" (yeah, like he needed to tell us he used to be a hippie!) makes the most exciting logical party tricks. I like this little sequence :

"Obviously there is no absolute hair length given in the Bible"
Followed by " If the hair is unquestionably long, then it is long. If it is unquestionably short, then it is short"
And finally, the conclusion : "Why resist what the Bible plainly says?"

The bible doesn't say ANYTHING plainly. Not a thing. Ever.

This guy is making little to no sense, but he finishes it off strong. I find it all very amusing, considering that pretty much all representations of Jesus Christ in the west have a LONG haired man (unquestionably long, I would say). That includes representation in the bible iteself. So something is amok here.

Further more, one of the thing that really irks artists is that the bible doesn't have physical descriptions of many of the characters it portrays. Hair color and length is one of those. HOWEVER, one of the few major figures in teh bibble to have his hair described in David, who had long golden locks. So, what Brother Cloud is telling us is that God Himself was wrong to appoint a long-haired man to depose of the king, establish the Isreali nation and build the holy city of Jersualem? Fucking drips.

"SECOND, THE WOMAN'S HAIR IS TO BE A HEAD COVERING TO SYMBOLIZE HER SUBMISSION TO AUTHORITY AND TO THE MAN'S HEADSHIP" - Ok, this is so wrong in so many ways that I'm not going to even touch it.

"I hear someone protest, 'It isn’t important, Brother Cloud.' I agree that it is not as important as many other things, but if it is not important at all, why in the world is it in the Bible?" - I wonder if Brother Cloud throws the blood of an ox on the four walls of the temple when he is doing an offering. Oh, I dont' think it is AS important as many other things (like Abraham fucking his daughters, or killing whole families from rival tribes), but it is the duty of a priest, and it is in the Bible.

Dip-shit
