So, you're just trying to have it both ways. You want to discriminate
against gays so you blame Jesus for your bigotry. When I ask you about
why you don't follow the law that you are trying to invoke you make more
excuses and blame Jesus again.

Sorry, but Jesus had nothing to do with your behavior. You have chosen
to be a bigot. You have chosen to be intolerant. You have chosen to be a
liar. You have chosen to mock Jesus with your doctrines. You, and you
alone, are responsible for the lies you tell and the false doctrines you
preach. Don't blame Jesus, we atheists know enough of the Bible to know
you are lying to us.
