It's obviously mistranslated or misinterpreted, much the same way as the Bible never was. Right?

This revelation is CLEARLY fake and lies. Only Bible passages that fulfill their agenda are true, duh.

Amen.

The author presents scant evidence of same-sex unions in church history, but errs in using the term "marriage" to describe those arrangements. The term "marriage" traditionally means the union of a man and a woman joined in matrimony.

Really? That wouldn't be your Euro-trash bias speaking would it?

Wait, I thought all the churches that were having gay weddings and gay saints and all that stuff way back when were Euro-trash churches.

I guess the Puritans had good reason to want to get the hell out of that place and come to the New World where they could infest a large nation with their insipid prudishness.

Anyone can clearly see this (noun) is an obvious abuse of the truth, because the (noun) clearly states that "(any quotation)" in section (proper noun) as sanctioned by (pronoun) in the name of (verb)!

May you all be (verb past tense) by his (adjective) appendage.

What's your proof of that?

They were obviously heathens who practiced this. That's why they're all dead.

were there even "Christian" churches 2000 years ago? I thought all that happened hundreds of years after the magic zombie disappeared.

Gay people prefer to have sexual relationships with people who are the same gender as they are.

Hey, I read it on the internets so it must be true!

This!

Plus, even secular historians are sceptical of this claim. It is far from proven.

Next up: Roman Piso tells us how the Bible and all Classical literature is a fraud. Again.

SkinnyHead: The term "marriage" traditionally means the union of a man and a woman joined in matrimony.

Actually, it traditionally means "a woman of similar racial characteristics becoming the possession of a man of a different family instead of her father".

Take the quiz: http://www.buddybuddy.com/quiz-1.html

xpennyroyaltyx: were there even "Christian" churches 2000 years ago?

Since when is "a millennium" 2000 years?

Might want to double-check the meaning of 'Millenium'. (new window)

I've seen that pic a few times in the last few days. What's the story behind it? Not sure I quite understand why it's popping up in certain Fark threads. There hasn't been enough context for it to click anyway. ;)

Can anyone clue me in?

To dumbasses who want to parrot anything they hear instead of using common sense or researching for themselves. Just like those "The Bible invented marriage" morons.

Actually, the term has morphed meaning many times over history, you're just latching on to the one that suits your personal bigotry.

In metric years.
