“God intended marriage between a man and a woman,” he told me.
“How do you know that?” I asked, chewing on my turkey sandwich, the cream cheese and cranberry sauce mixing in with every bite.
“Because it says it in the Bible. It also says that homosexuals are abominations.”
“It also says that daughters can be bought and sold as slaves,” I told him. “And you should be stoned to death for eating that hotdog.”
He looked at his hotdog, then at me. “There are parts of the Bible we don’t acknowledge anymore, John.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Like the part where Jesus walked with the prostitutes, fornicators, and tax collectors. And told Peter that they’d get into Heaven before he did.”
