Thread Name: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
Subject: RE: BS: On Same-Sex Marriages
I don't think Jesus said anything about homosexuality (St. Paul did IIRC, but he wasn't the same bloke), though he did ask us to love each other*... hey, why don't the Bible literalists give everything they have to the poor? Why don't they turn the other cheek? Why forego the blessings of being meek? Why do they risk judgement by judging? Why does literalism only seem to apply to condemnation of others? Motes and beams and barley grows...

I doubt if homosexuals want ACCEPTANCE by censorious Christians. They just want persecution to stop. That politician's "crime" is not homosexuality- it is hypocrisy.

(* Yes, I know, you can go through a whole scholarship that explains why by "love" he meant "not love". Funny how the arguments are always there when you want to keep a prejudice.)
