You don't get to define what's biblical. We know what's biblical, and our rejection of gay marriage is determined by the Bible.
What a load of crap.. You're just cherry picking the bits that you think makes it acceptable to discriminate.
It's biblical to own slaves, including even selling your own daughter as a sex slave. Child abuse, murder, rape, animal sacrifice, pillage and plunder are also biblical. Why are you not endorsing these things?

Wow. It is not "biblical" to own slaves
Wow.. You don't even know your own book, or are you a false witness?
Jesus himself makes it perfectly clear the Old Testament Laws are in effect.
It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid (Luke 16:17).
This passage clearly says slaves are to bought and sold like cattle.
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)
Have you made the letter of the law invalid?
This passage teaches you how to treat your slaves.
If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.’ If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT)
Do you defy your god and not follow the letter of the law?
All the rest of what you call biblical is a ridiculous pack of lies, at best out of context.
Really? You seem to have no idea what your book says, or you just simply lying or taking things out of context.
When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl’s owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)
Bible family values! Just feed them good!
How about New Testament slavery..
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)
Do you serve Christ?
Oh look.. here we have passages that condone murder.
Kill people who don't listen to the preacher.. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
Kill witches.. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)
Kill homosexuals.. (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
Kill for hitting dad.. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)
Death for cursing parents.. (Proverbs 20:20 NAB)(Leviticus 20:9
Death for adultery..(Leviticus 20:10 NLT)
The list goes on but lets move to Murder, Rape and Pillage. (Judges 21:10-24 NLT)(Numbers 31:7-18 NLT)(Deuteronomy 20:10-14)
Laws of rape.
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.(Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NAB)
You have a lot learn about your book and this is just the tip of the iceberg! I could go on and on if you like?
YOU are the ones who want to make US suffer, it is not the other way around.
Your self imposed slavery to a cult is not anyone's fault but your own. Your avidity and lust are controlled by hate. Souls of damnation in your own reality.
Your post is the proof that it is Christians who are being demonized and persecuted.
Engreat souls have condemned yourselves for all of eternity for all to see, obtained by immoral observance of a domineering deity.

Oh wowsy wow wow wow are you confused.
How is reading the bible line by line confusing? Is it that I'm examining the bible with critical inquiry or should I be twisting and contorting it to make it fit my modern sensibilities of morality? Or should I just cherry pick the bits that validate my biases?
I trust that you will be the one to do these things in order to shore up and preserve your hatred for anyone who does not conform to the lie.
Onward! South of heaven!
