Gay Marriage

Over at Huffington Post, someone has written an article debunking some of the New Testament arguments against homosexuality, similar to the article I wrote a while back regarding Leviticus.

Well worth reading.

The bottom line, as always, is that it's selective enforcement in the extreme. I can't take seriously the argument that the absolute word of God is that homosexuality is wrong from people who don't also insist that their wives and daughters remain subservient and silent in church (just one example of a biblical rule from the same section as one of the quotes against homosexuality).

I may not agree with you, but if you honestly do your best to live by the bible 100% in your life, including not touching pig on Sundays, not touching a woman within 7 days of her menstrual period, expecting women to be silent and obedient... If you follow ALL of that, then I respect (while respectfully disagreeing with) your stance on homosexuality.

As long as you're pick and choosing from the Bible, you really haven't got a leg to stand on.

Oh, and one final thought: Has anyone noticed that just about every biblical condemnation of homosexuality refers to men lying with men? So apparently "Girls Gone Wild" are not sinful at all. The Bible is pretty specific there.
