Well, that's just a LOVELY Christian-like sentiment! I bet God loves you for THAT one!

Well, if you were paying attention, you would notice that Saint originally stated that there are many passages in the Bible that state that homosexuality is a sin. This is the reason why I replied with, Name more than one.

Should God have to repeat himself? Well, a marketing executive once told me that the golden rule of marketing is repetition. People only remember those things that are continously hammered into their heads. So, if God is at least as smart as a Comm Arts major, then I think he/she would have figured out this little trick long ago.

But seriously, thanks for reading between the lines of the Bible and being a total @sshole.

Can someone tell me why this debate (which we have had many times and seem to keep having) about what the Bible actually says about homosexuality generates such heated emotions and personal insults?

On the point you raised about whether we need to obey all the laws that God gave to ancient Israel you should read what I said in this thread:

If you can't figue it out on your own...


Oh, and I'll never understand how people can handle the schizophrenic nature of the Bible. The book says not to kill, then gives you a huge list of people to kill. And, of course, there is the selective nature of the rules Christians chhose to enforce...all the rules restricting the behavior of groups they don't like are in effect, but the rules restricting their own behavior don't count. It is especially that selectivity that to me outlines the hateful nature of Christians who yell and scream about how homosexulaity is an 'abomination'.

If you read the article I linked to, it raised the point that there is no clear line between cultural laws and general views or intentions for mankind in leviticus and most of the old testament chapters. To make any sense of them, we need to apply selection and that's where bias creeps in.
