Well, I've got $20,000 for anyone that can show me anywhere in this here Bible where the Lord Jesus "ordains, endorses, even implies that he even as much as likes" laws that protect alternative religious lifestyle choices.
A local reverend and a lawmaker are putting their money where their mouths are, saying the other side cannot prove its claims on gay marriage."I've got $700 here, and I will give anyone this $700 if they come up and show me in this Bible that marriage is between a man and a woman," State Rep. Alvin Homles demanded last week of his fellow lawmakers.
Holmes challenged the measures, which are moving in the House and Senate. He likened the amendment to Adolf Hitler's actions in the Holocaust.
But Holmes' wager was not only called -- Birmingham Rev. Vincent Jennings upped the ante.
The reverend said he would give $10,000 to anyone who could show "where the Lord ordains, endorses, even implies that he even as much as likes relations between (same-sex couples)."
