God 'n' Gays

[poliphilo]

The Biblical texts that are supposed to condemn homosexuality would- if I were to print them here- fill about half a screen. They come from the Old Testament Book of Leviticus (which also condemns the eating of shellfish) and a couple of the Pauline Epistles. There is nothing- but nothing- about homosexuality in the Gospels. If God really hates fags don't you think he'd have banged on about it at least as much as Jerry Falwell used to do?

At the risk of having people jump all over me, I will suggest that one of the reasons Christians do not condone homosexuality is because of frequent Biblical injunctions to be fruitful and multiply. Lying with one's own sex does not create babies. :,

Yes, I think you're entirely right.

One of the sites I was looking at this morning in search of inspiration pointed out that the Ancient Hebrews constituted a small nation ringed around with powerful enemies. Of course they wanted to make as many babies as they possibly could.
