suddenly antiquated

Two years ago Barack Obama gave a speech in which he questioned the wisdom of using scriptural passages to govern public policy.

Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is okay and that eating shellfish is an abomination. Or we could go with Deuteronomy which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith, or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount?

Now, two years later, the Not-Very-Christian Right decides to respond by accusing Obama of referencing antiquated dietary codes and passages from the Old Testament that are no longer relevant to the teachings of the New Testament.

Ummm...thanks Mr. Dobson? You mean we can ignore you and your supporters when you throw that one passage from Leviticus at us as justification for your hatred of homosexuality? Is this really what you're saying now? My, you changed your tune quite quickly!

A Happy Pride to everybody from Mr. Dobson himself!
