22Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
13If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

I agree. There is a segment of our population who are definitely over the top! I have been known to tell them to 'grow a pair', but alas I fear that they will always be there! That is part of why I posted this thread. To let people know that we are not all like that. I would point out that women who dress like three dollar hookers are the equivalent on your side of the fence. We all have the 'lunatic fringe', but none of us should be judged by those types!

Thus saith the Lord GOD, end of subject..............whether he is your God has no relevance, he IS GOD and will pass final judgement.........
Blind yourself to reality, homosexuality is a deathpenalty offense to GOD.
Repent or die in the lake of fire..............

Who really gives a damn? Do we still have folks that want to beat/kill because something touches a nerve? I love PDA, whoever it is. I don't like to see guy's kiss, but I love to see two girls kiss. That's just me. I dig girls. So I have to take what I like with what I don't. It's fair and it's life. What does that say about me? Gay is ok as long as it turns me on? I love women and always will. They just get me going. I don't need a 5'8" blonde, give me Natalie Merchant or my wife. A guy could never do that for me regardless how "hot" he is. At the same time my wife, can put herself there. We've never done that, not even on my birthday. Natalie is getting a lil old now, so I 've given up hope...heh...like we had a chance. I don't get the whole anal thing. That has to hurt, plus it seems a little messy, if you get what I mean. No stinky on my dinky, but to each their own.
As you said, now you know how it feels to be a woman.
I have this happen to me every single day, whether I got to buy milk, or just stand outside to have a cigarette.
So, I would say that your problem is with men, not just gay men.
Gay men are no more guilty of this than straight men.

7. When you stone somebody as a group for blaspheming the name of the Lord, are the children of the congregation required to participate? Lev. 24:16 doesn't make this clear.
I am lampooning those who choose to cherry-pick from it.

this has taken me about 1/2 hour to look this up; my apologies if it has already been addressed:
Couple of quick questions for you, just to establish consistency:
1. Have you purchased any strangers' children lately? Lev 25:44 shows you how.
2. About what time do you generally schedule your burnt offerings? Lev. 16 has pretty specific guidelines.
3. do you ever cut your hair or beard? Naughty, naughty. Lev. 19:27 forbids it.
4. D'you think adulterers should be put to death, or just the married one? Lev. 20:10 condones putting to death both.
5. I hope your altar wasn't made with hewn stones, for that will polute it, at least according to Exodus 20:25. How heavy of a stone can you lift?
(incidentally, this was approximately the time period wherein God spake these words to Moses on the mount....... not to try and secondguess God, however it would've been a swell time to lay down the laws that were important to Him. hmmmmmm. I'm not finding the homosexuality commandment.......)
6. My stupid neighbor down the street insists upon working on Sundays, and he isn't quiet about it either. I'm unclear on exactly who is supposed to put him to death for this. Any idea? Exodus 35:2 does make it clear. I would've thought it was the pastor's duty, except technically, he works on Sundays too, as it is a job for which he has paid to do.
7. When you stone somebody as a group for blaspheming the name of the Lord, are the children of the congregation required to participate? Lev. 24:16 doesn't make this clear.
You know what? I could go on and on and on. Understand this: I am not assailing the Holy Bible, I am lampooning those who choose to cherry-pick from it.
A reasoned person will not follow the entirety of these scriptures, as they were written for another time, another people. People who didn't have refrigeration, who didn't understand about transmitting diseases, people who apparently thought it was fine and dandy and normal to purchase, own and trade in slaves.
In Exodus of the Bible, God lays down His commandments to Moses. These are apparently the mores that He is concerned with.
Still want to hang your hat on those three somewhat unclear sections of Leviticus?
