GAFFE OF THE CENTURY! NYT Says St. Paul Ordered Christians to ‘Execute’ Homosexuals.

Also, maybe notice that the listing of sins indicts literally every single human on the planet. So if you’re thinking that Christianity calls for the execution of gays, you have to think, on the basis of the same passage, it calls for the execution of everyone.

Layers and layers of fact checkers and editors – perhaps the same ones that let slide the 2011 piece by former editor Bill Keller attacking then-GOP presidential candidates Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann for being “affiliated with fervid subsets of evangelical Christianity.” Back on Planet Earth, Santorum is a Catholic, Bachmann a Lutheran. The following year, fellow Timesman Charles Blow would continue the Other-ising of religious Republican politicians with his infamous “stick that in your magic underwear” tweet directed at finalist Mitt Romney.
