A while ago I saw a video of writer Dan Savage addressing a gathering of young journalists. His topic was the bullying of people with same-sex attraction. However, his presentation included a chilling example of bullying in which he lambasted the Christians in the room, mocking them as they left in tears.
He made two claims. The first was that the only commandment Christians believed carried over from the Old Testament was those against homosexual acts. I wrote about that topic here. The other claim was that the New Testament endorses slavery, particularly the book of Philemon.
Here is what Savage said:
“Paul doesn't say, 'Christians don't own people.' Paul talks about how Christians own people.”On that basis he says the Bible cannot be trusted as a moral guide. So… does it?
