Leviticus 20:13

For this evening's sermon, I'll shall borrow from the teachings of Whoppi's Back to Broadway...

The so-called Christians among you often quote Leviticus 20:13 as their rationale for hating and oppressing gay people.

If 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.

If that's your opinion, fine. You know what they say about opinions. But, my gentle snowflakes, I really think you need to read the rest of that chapter. Say, for example, verse 9.

For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

Oh, and what about verse 10.

And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

And then there's my all-time favorite, verse 15.

And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.

What.. Did the sheep come on to you or something?

If you use your bible to justify your bigotry, then, by all means be consistent: make adultery a crime that carries a mandatory death sentence. And none of this mamby-pamby lethal injection bullshit... I think public stoning should become all the rage.

It's just a thought...
