Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did not run away from judgment; Jonah did. And as Jonah was sent to Ninevah despite himself, Lisa Miller will be returned to the US for judgment.

all of the “you don’t have a sense of humor”, “no, YOU don’t” stuff isn’t really adding much here.

And the New Testament that you so enjoy, wasn’t even compiled for hundreds of years after Jesus lived.

Everything that you think is the Bible is a politically selected collection of writing (they voted on what to include and what to leave out) which were copies of copies of copies. And what you have is primarily an English translation of Greek copies which rely heavily on previous Latin interpretation.

Now, sweetie, I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to learn a new language, but if so you will know that words don’t always translate directly.

For example, “Papi” is a Spanish word that means “father”. But if you were to translate “Ai papi!” as “Oh, Father” you would probably be talking about incest.

And guess what, Princess. Again, this may be hard for your little ears to hear. But the copies of copies sometimes included mistakes. We know this because they were dispersed throughout the world, and when compared a thousand years later they were different.

And some of the parts of the King James Bible weren’t even part of the original text, because those interpreters used versions that were more recent and the older copies didn’t have those verses. They were added at some point.

For example, princess dear, I’m sure you know the story of the man by the pool whom Jesus healed in John 5:

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

But, oh my goodness, that entire part that I highlighted about the angel… it wasn’t in the original text. Your Bible, princess, was wrong!! Oh, Lord have mercy.

We don’t have the originals. We don’t even have any copies that were made within hundreds of years of the originals.

I know this is so confusing, princess. Here you came with your Bible ready to tell us what God says… and we just didn’t sit up and say “amen”.

But it isn’t because we’re heathens that hate God – even if your mommy and your preacher told you so. It’s because we know a lot more about the Bible than you do, Princess. A great big bunch more.

Some of us don’t believe in any gods and some of us are devout Christians or people of other faith. But we all share an adult recognition that it is foolish to think that reading the King James Version of the Bible – or any translation, really – provides the context, culture, and perspective that the original authors intended.

Intelligent Christians look to the Bible as a spiritual guide full of wisdom and principles for living your life. Those who just aren’t very smart or very educated try to read it like a rule book. Those who are particularly lacking in intellect and perspective think that it’s a tool to slap down the people they don’t like.

Sadly, princess, you fit in the latter category. But maybe when you get a little older, you will mature a bit.

And, yes, you are totally lacking in any measure of humor.

As for being hateful, even though Princess is not the most hateful Christian I’ve ever come across, returning the hate is counterproductive and just serves to confirm their prejudices and entrench their position.

AR ≠ incest, Southern ≠ ignorant, and Christian ≠ fundamentalist
Of all people, the LGBTQ community should strive to be beyond prejudiced stereotyping.

Princess, we don’t live in a theocracy, where the fluid and inconsistent whims of people of faith take precedence over secular standards of civil law.
Obviously, by your standards, I doubt YOU’D have the freedoms and rights you enjoy because women are treated badly in the most theocratic of countries.

Most people like you are exceptionally ignorant about how civil law and our Constitution actually works, but when your ass is up shit creek, you’ll invoke the very laws you denigrate.

More evidence of the intellectual and moral cowardice of people like you. Miller doesn’t believe in God, whatsoever and neither do you. You count on mere mortals to DO your dirty work, while expecting God to take the blame for what you do.

Cowards, and liars are a disgrace and certainly shouldn’t be claiming God is on their side when they are busted for it.

If your god was on Timothy Miller’s side he’d have never been found out and charged in the first place. He’s going to be punished and rightfully so and there is nothing your imaginary god can do about it.
