I missed the verse in the Bible that states raping passed out women is okay as long as you ...

[Snake Plissken]

don't' bake a cake for a gay couple's wedding.

I must not have the same edition of the Bible as Republicans use.

[JHan]

1. expressing good wishes to a gay couple on a cake is worse than attempted rape apparently.

[Snake Plissken]

2. Yeah that Golden Rule thingy seems to be missing in the Republican Bible

[Funtatlaguy]

3. Thou shalt taketh what thou wisheth IYARIOK. Two Corinthians (Trump version).

[Rorey]

4. I think it's only wrong if it goes beyond "attempted."

Or maybe not. They're pretty effed up.

Those pesky Ten Commandments are only for other people to obey.

[WeekiWater]

5. The bible was written by men and is interpreted by men.

They can find a way.

[major debacle]

6. Republicans are not saying that it is OK to rape passed out women

They are saying that their boy didn't do it.

[Snake Plissken]

8. very few believe believe he didn't do it, they're saying there is no 'proof' he did it ...

hence the strategy to convince the rubes this is a court case and not a job interview,

they want Republicans to believe it doesn't matter as long as it can not be proven.

[major debacle]

10. Proof is important, and it would be welcome

... otherwise any spurious accusation would be enough to bring down any aspirant for office. There is photographic evidence of Al Franken acting like an ass, and I believe there strong evidence that Roy Moore was banned from a shopping mall for harassing young women. Like it or not, what we have so far is a he said/she said situation. Granted there are two shes, soon to be three, sort of like what was happening with Bill Clinton. But without corroborating hard evidence, it all comes down to who you choose to believe. Public opinion will be a factor in whether K is confirmed or not. At this point there is no overwhelming cry from the gallery for dropping him.

[LanternWaste]

12. Kinda tough to hear the cries from the gallery when you don't want to.

I hear them though. So do others. Maybe you're simply in the wrong spot to hear the obvious as well.

[major debacle]

14. The ones who need to hear the cries are those who vote in the Senate.

Maybe you should cry louder.

[onecaliberal]

27. Thats why the FBI should investigate, but repukes don't want that. Truth will get out.

[LanternWaste]

11. You keep tellin' yourself that story.

And keep buyin' the excuses they use. Major consistency.

[thucythucy]

19. Actually, some of them are saying it's okay.

Basically, "he didn't do it, but if he did, so what?"

[lunatica]

23. How do they know it didn't happen?

Have they bothered to listen to women who claim otherwise? Are they being objective and listening to both sides? Are they willing to have the FBI investigate?

Nope.

[Stallion]

7. ...but remember to check back in a few months to make sure your baby semen isn't aborted

[The Polack MSgt]

9. For centuries the Church considered rape less sinful than masturbation

Since rape was open to life and masturbation precluded life's creation.

So, yeah.

[thucythucy]

20. Norman Mailer also believed that.

He wrote it in an essay. Better to rape than to jerk off.

Sick sick sick....

[Nitram]

13. I think in biblical times rape was pretty much ignored as long as the rapist was a respected man in

the community and the woman was unmarried.

[Crunchy Frog]

24. It was a property crime against a woman's father or husband.

That's why a rapist would be made to marry his victim. Basically a "you break it you buy it" policy.

[irresistable]

26. Exactly... penalty for raping a betrothed virgin was death...unbetrothed, the penalty was marriage

[Mad-in-Mo]

15. Or as long as someone comes along behind you to

"dilute" your evidence.

[CanonRay]

16. It's in Assholes 1:13-14

[gratuitous]

17. "You and I read the Bible very differently"

It's become my go-to answer for religious discussions with conservative folks. Based on Hawkeye's response to Black Widow's statement at the beginning of the climactic battle against the alien invaders in the first Avengers movie: Black Widow says "This is just like Budapest all over again," and Hawkeye says, "You and I remember Budapest very differently."

Non-judgmental. Nothing about "I'm right and you're wrong." Can't even say that I've demeaned their position. Just the simple declaration that I read the Bible very differently from the other person, which by that time is indisputable.

[Harker]

18. I'll volunteer to cast the first stone!

Metaphorically, of course.

[elmac]

21. one can find just about anything in science fiction. nt

22. Isn't that the King Don version of the bible?
