If this was as such, why did "he" turn from a method of death and destruction rained down upon "his" enemies to one of love, understanding, and forgiveness in the New Testament?
Seems to me like there's a HUGE inconcistency there, no? Read the Old Testament... if I had the time or the inclination, I'd run through a few passages here but it would be a waste of time. But, simple examples... the plagues of Egypt, the great flood, the father being led to sacrifice his son to prove his loyalty. Soddom and Gamorrah.
Fast forward to the new testament, where Jesus is spreading God's word of love and acceptance, of taking pity on one's enemy.
Regardless of whatever can be argued for or against with the bible, the point is this- homosexuality, despite what all of you bible-thumpers would believe, is NOT a choice. Do you honestly think that a person would CHOOSE to face the kind of ridicule and possible assault that people like you feel the need to give them because you don't understand them? Yeah, that would be smart!
You find women attractive, why? Because you feel you SHOULD? No, that's just how you are. There are many cases of same-sex relationships throughout all of nature, NOT just in the human animal. Again, if I was so inclined, I'd run through national geographic to find the proof.
On a personal note, Kevin Smith said it best... for hundreds of years, the Greeks believed in their gods, wrote books, created stories to give examples of the morality of the time. Over time, people saw them as being mythology. I wonder when that will happen with the Bible.
