Than I'm sure you wouldn't mind finding a verse or something that says homosexuality is bad.
And don't bother with Sodom and Grimorrah.

Many believe that texts in Genesis and the rest of the Bible make it clear that Sodom was punished because of the violent, abusive, inhospitable, greedy, and unsympathetic behavior of its citizens towards visitors, widows, the poor and other disadvantaged persons. Genesis 19 may condemn homosexual rape simply because it is rape. It would then be consistent with Deuteronomy 22:25-29 which condemns heterosexual rape. The passage does not impact on consensual homosexual activities between consenting adults, and is totally unrelated to loving, committed, same-sex relationships, civil unions and marriages.

Quite frankly, your inhospitible behavior towards me is a bad thing. I'm suprised God hasn't turned you into a pillar of salt.
I'll have you know I don't just read the bible, but I also try and understand it. I don't just look at the text, but I look at the story behind the text. |
