Someone quoted scripture at me, and I quoted scripture back. Not sure where you get that's anti-semitic. Are you saying people who quote scriptures, or pastors or anyone else who quotes scriptures is anti-semitic? I don't think I understand what your point is. I didn't write it.

You are quoting the Torah and obviously have a problem with the way some Jews live, whether you know it or not.

Um, no. I don't give it that much thought. I'm quoting the bible. I don't need to get down into the weeds of all of it. Like I said, somebody quoted scripture and then I quoted scripture. I don't care how Jews or anybody else lives. People are free to live how they will as long as it doesn't hurt anybody.

Since when has quoting the OT in response to someone else quoting the OT been anti-Semitic? What is the purposed logic behind that?

I sense a bit of anti Semetism here.

That is simply not true. In fact much of Corporate America and Big Sports embraces the LGBT community. On the topic of the Super Bowl, in the past, two different states tried to pass an anti-gay law, and the NFL threatened to move the Super Bowl out of those states.

N.C had a bathroom bill signed into law, and the various boycotts by Corp America, Entertainment and Big Sports made the state flush that bill down the toilet. Texas tried too pass a similar bill a few years back and would of lost out on several big sporting events. That being the NFL Draft event, March Madness Final Four, and the recent NHL Winter Classic.

Yup. Homophobia is bad for the bottom line - which is why corporations act accordingly.

Accepted by whom?

I'm sure there are lots of people who accepted blackface actors derogatory displays, too. Think that's OK?

Of course that word is degrading to self-respecting women. Just don't ask all the feminists who proudlywore p-ssy hats.
