| Now let's not be such strict literlists ...
First of all, those Bilblical passages about homosexuals are old testament, and we have been given a new covenant to live by that doesn't include sexual practices.
Secondly, that part of the Bible is metaphorical anyways ... like the 7 day creation story, or the 'world-wide' flood, or the life spans of early Jews exceeding 500 yrs ... or the resurrection of Jesus .... It's all symbolic in a literary work of beautiful poetry and ancient culture.
People can have sex with anyone they choose of legal age of consent. If your parents don't like it, too bad ... if your priest don't like it, you should find a new church.
Unbelievable to me how most Christians are anti-government involvment right wingers, but have no problem with the government telling them who to sleep with (or for that matter, who should reproduce). Double standard much?? |
