Bigots In Mississippi Were Just Surprised With This Perfect Billboard

Earlier today, Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant signed a bill into law that may be the most intense anti-queer legislation to pass in America to date. According to Reuters, “the far-reaching law allows people with religious objections to deny wedding services to same-sex couples. It also clears the way for employers to cite religion in determining workplace policies on dress code, grooming and bathroom and locker access.”

In response, the non-profit organization Planting Peace purchased space on a giant electronic billboard in the Southern state to remind so-called Christians about the “golden rule” in a hilarious way.

The American Taliban (fringe-right Christian Evangelicals) need to be put down and shut down.

God also said homosexuality is an abomination. Don't be using God to suit your agenda

Since Jesus said that we should drown child predators, can we start doing that?

That's not strictly true. It's been mistranslated. Toevah means taboo or foreign, something not done in our tradition. Like eating shellfish. Is that an abomination?

An abomination is something like a calf born with two heads. The harsh and hateful judging you have toward LGBT isn't "Godly" at all.

The folks in Mississippi have a sense of humor, and will think the sign is witty and funny. And, if a few Mississippi homosexuals get their jimmies rustled and take off to San Francisco where they can have Parades where they make Daisy Chains by holding on to each others dicks....well, that will be alright with Mississippians too.

And, to get to the real issue behind the new law....if homosexuals who are not already in Mississippi decide they never want to come, not ever, then the law will have served its purpose. Its a poor state, and it can't afford all the extra insurance benefits, medicals bills, etc that homosexuals run up because of the many awful diseases and maladys they get because of their life-style...its not just Aids, not nearly so....look it up.

Mississippi's terrible reputation has been a great blessing. Assholes from New York and New Jersey have seen staying out of the State in droves for about 6 decades...Bless Jesus for that.

In the Torah, the primary toevah is avodah zara, foreign forms of worship, and most other toevot flow from it. The Israelites are instructed not to commit toevah because other nations do so. Deuteronomy 18:9-12 makes this quite clear:

When you come into the land that YHVH your God gives you, do not learn to do the toevot of those nations. Do not find among you one who passes his son or daughter through the fire; or a magician; or a fortune teller, charmer, or witch… because all who do these things are toevah to YHVH and because of these toevot YHVH your God is driving them out before you.

Elsewhere, Deuteronomy 7:25-26 commands:

[Y]ou shall burn the statues of their gods in fire. Do not desire the silver and gold on them and take it onto yourself, else you be snared by it, for it is a toevah to YHVH your God. And you shall not bring toevah to your home

WTF is wrong with a deformed calf? Bigot.
And if shellfish aren't a tradition, you are an abomination.

You're quoting Mosaic Law, dumbass, never applied to Gentiles and done away with by the New Covenant

Deut. 12:31, 13:14, 17:4, 27:15, and 32:16 further identify idolatry, child sacrifice, witchcraft, and other “foreign” practices as toevah, and Deut. 20:18 says that avoiding toevah justifies the genocide of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanaites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. So, toevah is serious, but it is serious as a particular class of cultic offense: a transgression of national boundary. It is certainly not “abomination.”

Genesis 43:32 states that eating with Israelites is toevah for Egyptians. Gen. 43:34 states that shepherds are toevah to Egyptians—the sons of Israel are themselves shepherds. In Exodus 8:22, Moses describes Israelite sacrifices as being toevat mitzrayim (toevah of Egypt), although obviously Israelite ritual is not an objective “abomination.” If toevah means abomination, then eating with shepherds, eating with Israelites, and Israelite sacrifices themselves must be abominable! Since this clearly is not the case, toevah cannot mean “abomination” in any ontological sense—it must be a relative quality.

Toevah can also mean other things. It can refer to ritual imperfection: Deut. 17:1 uses it to refer to the sacrifice of a blemished animal, and Deut. 19:19 bans as toevah sacrifices bought through prostitution or “the price of a dog.” Deut. 22:5 calls crossdressing a toevah (incidentally, in Orthodox Jewish law, this includes women wearing pants). Remarriage (i.e. of the same two parties) is toevah according to Deut. 24:4. The sole ethical use of the term in the Torah is in Deut. 25:16, in which the use of unequal weights and measures is called toevah.
