I know rightwing alleged Christian nutters always want to talk about homosexuality being an "abomination" to the Lord. There are many things that are abominations to the Lord, but I want to focus specifically on Proverbs 6:16-19 and the seven abominations to the Lord.
Proverbs 6:16 There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
So to break it down--
Seven Abominations Unto the Lord
According to Proverbs 6:16-19--
1) a proud look
2) a lying tongue
3) hands that shed innocent blood
4) a heart that deviseth wicked imaginations
5) feet that be swift in running to mischief
6) a false witness that speaketh lies,
7) and
he that soweth discord among brethren.
So, if we just look at Mitt Romney, Mormon (which makes him an enemy of God already) we can check off #1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Potentially we could add #3 due to his Bain experience of closing profitable plants. I would bet some people died due to lack of health insurance or finances and some probably killed themselves due to their lack of work and income. Romney has to take some responsibility if this did occur. Romney is clearly an arrogant human being, believing that the Presidency should just be given to him. He has lied against his Republican opponents and is currently lying about President Obama.
Now, add Paul Ryan. Who is currently lying about his budget and plan for Medicare and Medicaid. Ryan is another wealthy white man who believes he and Romney should get more money while you, the rest of America should pay more. I have viewed Romney and Obama campaign commercials and statements. Overwhelmingly Romney lies and Obama is speaking the truth. But, it doesn't matter to the white "Christian" base--they hate Obama because of a few reasons, none of them logical--1) he is a Democrat and 2) he is Black. Any other arguments these delusional people have carry no weight.
This reminds me of a sermon I heard recently in which the speaker said (I paraphrase) 'In America today, people hate what is good and cling to what is evil". Which is the exact opposite of Romans 12:9 which is "Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good".
We have many who claim they are "Christians" and they definitely hate what is good and cling to evil and they will be voting for the Romney/Ryan ticket this November all the while going to Church and falsely claiming they are "one of God's children".
