Crassly conservative "christian" literalists love to quote verses to disparage and attack people and ideas they don't like but love to ignore verses that are absurd or they dislike.
However, if you claim literality, inerrancy, and your complete grasp of the totality of what God says and means by your interpretation of the English text of the Bible, you can't pick and choose the verses you like.
Since
the crazier-assed "christians" seem to love so much to quote Leviticus
these days (you know that part of the bible whose laws no longer apply
[for example Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that
was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way,
nailing it to his cross;]) why do they fail to quote or follow so much of
the similarly crazy-ass laws and restrictions listed there?
Leviticus 25:44-46 slavery (of Canadians for instance) ok and good with god
Leviticus 19:19 no cotton polyester blends
Leviticus 19:27 no short hair (ya gotta keep the payot פֵּאוֹת sidelocks)
etc. etc. etc.
I would say that: If you speak your magic verses you feel bestowed upon you by angels, but do not have love, your clanging tintinnabulation is of no value to God or man.
But I love you anyway ... PAX VOBIS!
