Famous Bible verse too sizzling for Facebook
Bob
Unruh
There are some who believe that America’s
longstanding constitutional speech protections apply to them but not to
others.
He’s
admitted that when he stays in hotels and motels, he vandalizes the Gideon
Bibles in the nightstands.
Not content with leaving ideas with
which he disagrees concealed in a drawer, he says he takes out the Bibles and
“rips out pages that contain a certain passage from Leviticus.”
The passage that annoys the homosexual
actor, Leviticus 18:22, is one in which God instructs, “Do not lie
with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.”
Some translations use the word
“abomination.”
Now Facebook is taking McKellen’s position
that freedom of speech is fine for some but not for others, according
to Christian writter and blogger Julio Severo.
Severo said Facebook is punishing him for
posting Leviticus 18:22 in Portuguese, “Não de deitarás com homem, como se
fosse mulher; abominação é.”
A WND request to Facebook for comment
generated only an automated response with instructions on how to get press
releases, photos and other media resources.
Facebook sent a message to Severo that
said: “We Removed Something You Posted. It looks like something you posted
doesn’t follow our Community Standards. We remove posts that attack people
based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual
orientation, gender or disability. Levítico 18.22: Não de deitarás com homem,
como se fosse mulher; abominação é.”
The offending post originally was
published in 2013, Severo noted.
“Willing or not willing, Facebook treated
Leviticus 18:22 directly as a ‘attack’ on ‘people based on their … sexual
orientation, gender.’ That is, Facebook treated the Bible as a criminal book!”
Severo said.
“Does Facebook guidelines warn its users
that the Bible is a criminal book? Does Facebook’s Statement of Rights and
Responsibilities warn its users that the Bible is a criminal book?”
He said he’s on a 30-day ban from Facebook
over the issue.
“Facebook waited exactly five years to
notify my exposé is ‘offensive,”‘ Severo wrote.
“What does Facebook have against the Bible
and those mentioning its verses? What does Facebook have specifically against
Leviticus 18:22, a famous verse in the Bible?”
Severo directed pointed questions at
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, whom he described as a “Jewish American.”
“Does he approve what his company has done
against the Jewish Scriptures? Is he aware?
“Or does he think that Facebook is now
bigger, greater and more important than the holy Jewish and Christian
Scriptures?”
He noted that President George Washington
said, “It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.”
The company appears to be targeting
Christians, Severo said, noting “pictures of the communist criminal Che
Guevara, who murdered people, including gay men, remain unshakingly throughout
Facebook’s social network, as if his filthy image did not deserve banishment
for his crimes.”
