The Bible says nothing explicit about abortion, nothing at all about lesbianism, and very little about male homosexuality. Wearing cotton/polyester blends gets about as much space, and it's an abomination, in case you were wondering.

So after you've burned all you clothes, get your mind around this: The Bible says much, much more about slavery. Indeed, once the Abolitionists started mounting an effective attack on slavery, the dominant means of defending slavery was to quote from the Bible. This was extensively documented in the book, Proslavery: A History of the Defense of Slavery in America, 1701-1840.

Here's Leviticus 25:

44 " 'Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.

45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property.

46 You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

And here's Ephesians 6:

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but like slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.

7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men, 8because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does, whether he is slave or free.

It's perfectly clear that the Bible condones slavery. So how's about it pal? Ready to repeal the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments? After all, if America is broken, like you say, it's pretty clear what broke it: the abolition of slavery, that's what!

Oh, yeah, and about the flat earth:

"The Flat-Earth Bible" by Robert J. Schadewald

http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/febible.htm

which has been on the web since forever.

It begins thus:

When I first became interested in the flat-earthers in the early 1970s, I was surprised to learn that flat-earthism in the English-speaking world is and always has been entirely based upon the Bible. I have since assembled and read an extensive collection of flat-earth literature. The Biblical arguments for flat-earthism that follow come mainly from my reading of flat-earth literature, augmented by my own reading of the Bible.

Except among Biblical inerrantists, it is generally agreed that the Bible describes an immovable earth. At the 1984 National Bible-Science Conference in Cleveland, geocentrist James N. Hanson told me there are hundreds of scriptures that suggest the earth is immovable. I suspect some must be a bit vague, but here are a few obvious texts:

1 Chronicles 16:30: �He has fixed the earth firm, immovable.�

Psalm 93:1: �Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm ...�

Psalm 96:10: �He has fixed the earth firm, immovable ...�

Psalm 104:5: �Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken.�

Isaiah 45:18: �...who made the earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast...�

Suffice to say that the earth envisioned by flat-earthers is as immovable as any geocentrist could desire. Most (perhaps all) scriptures commonly cited by geocentrists have also been cited by flat-earthers. The flat-earth view is geocentricity with further restrictions.

Like geocentrists, flat-earth advocates often give long lists of texts. Samuel Birley Rowbotham, founder of the modern flat-earth movement, cited 76 scriptures in the last chapter of his monumental second edition of Earth not a Globe. Apostle Anton Darms, assistant to the Reverend Wilbur Glenn Voliva, America's best known flat-earther, compiled 50 questions about the creation and the shape of the earth, bolstering his answers with up to 20 scriptures each. Rather than presenting an exhaustive compendium of flat-earth scriptures, I focus on those which seem to me the strongest. I also comment on some attempts to find the earth's sphericity in the Bible.

Scriptural quotes, unless otherwise noted, are from the New English Bible. Hebrew and Greek translations are from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. The Biblical cosmology is never explicitly stated, so it must be pieced together from scattered passages. The Bible is a composite work, so there is no a priori reason why the cosmology assumed by its various writers should be relatively consistent, but it is. The Bible is, from Genesis to Revelation, a flat-earth book.

Of course, there is a way out of all this, a way which was known from the very beginning, long before our modern understanding made such views into a laughingstock. And that is, quite simply, not to read the Bible literally. This makes a great deal of sense, since the Bible is quite obviously not meant to be read literally. From the very beginning, the first two books of Genesis tell two different stories of creation. They are reconcilable--but only if one does not read them literally, and if one introduces Lilith into the equation.

Indeed, some of the earliest Church fathers explicitly warned against reading the Bible literally. After all, Jesus taught in parables that would be utterly useless as instruction if taken literally. Their entire power to instruct comes entirely from their metaphorical import. When it is said, "let he who is without sin cast the first stone," no one in their right mind thinks this is only about casting stones, and that it's perfectly okay to attack sinners in any other way.

The problem with not reading the Bible literally is simple: it means you have to think. And this does not go well with being an authoritarian.

So here's the rub, JimC: Not only are you anti-American. You're not really a Christian, either. You are an authoritarian who is fundamentally incapable of reading the Bible the way it was intended to be read.
