from CP:

"A homosexual man has filed a $70 million lawsuit against Bible publishers Zondervan and Thomas Nelson, alleging that their version of the Bible that refers to homosexuality as a sin violates his constitutional rights and has caused him emotional distress.

"Bradley LaShawn Fowler, an ex-con turned author, filed the federal suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on Monday, the same day a judge refused to appoint him a lawyer for his suit against Thomas Nelson, The Grand Rapids Press reported.

"'The Court has some very genuine concerns about the nature and efficacy of these claims,' the judge wrote.

"Fowler, who is representing himself in both cases, claims that Zondervan manipulated Scripture by using the term 'homosexuals' in 1 Corinthians 6:9 of their 1982 and 1987 revised edition Bibles. He also contends that the reference to homosexuality were deleted by the publisher in later versions without informing the public...."

This is pure, unadulterated bigotry against Christianity.  These are the radicals that do not want to live in peace with the Christians, but are probably too cowardly to confront muslims over the same thing.

I think suing zondervan holds no water

. He should sue God? Because God punished Sodom and Gomorrah for homosexuality?

The unfortunate truth IS, that little men like this have been trying to eradicate the knowledge of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ from the hearts and minds of men for over 2,000 years BUT have never succeeded

Definitely. But if this man wants to sue the word of God, let him try. The Lord will have the final answer on the matter.

Maybe we should file a lawsuit against the producers of "Family Guy" for emotional distress. It would be just as ludicrous

Emotional distress?  If this fellow truly believes that homosexuality is constitutional and is not wrong, then why is it distressful for him?  Does he feel guilty or something?

He is not saying that homosexuality is distressful to him.  He is claiming that the Bible is distressful because it condemns homosexuality and so he is suing Zondervan  and Thomas Nelson over that.  

 

He is a nut, but this is America and you have the right to be a nutcase if you want.
