Just a few notes.

I don't really remember now, but I'm pretty sure oj is right. The Bible doesn't mention homosexuality being wrong except for in a few cases, and it isn't any bigger a deal than some other minor stuff.

The Bible is kind of weird like that when you compare it to peoples perception of it. In fact, for example, the Bible doesn't condone marriage... it only says that if you're going to have sex (which you apparently shouldn't) it's not as bad if you are married...



And just a note about me capitalizing God. I do that because it's the name of the god of the Bible. God is specific; "god" would be just the concept without any specific religion attached as long as it was monotheistic. If there was more than one god it would of course be gods.

I capitalize the names of lots of things that I don't believe are real. Harry Potter, Gandalf, Zeus, Thor... it doesn't mean I have a belief in these things, I just have an on/off respect for the english language.

Well see the thing that I despise about the Bible is that it is riddled with contradictions that's why some Christians that rely on it so heavily are pretty much hypocrites.

It's not their fault per say, it's the stupid ass Catholic church that decided to translate the scrolls incorrectly. I also feel like they tampered with the Bible to make it what they wanted it to say and they left out books on purpose.

There is a big lost in translation factor going on with the Bible that's why I no longer like it. I read through all of the old testament when I was 17 and the beginning parts of the new testament when I just had to give up on it.

People take from the Bible what they want. Three people can read the same verse and tell you three different interpretations of what they believe the verse said.

OJ is right about the homosexuality thing sort of. There is a verse that all Christians that know something about the Bible like to pull out of their ass to show you that homosexuality is considered a sin but on the other hand the bible also states that God loves all of his creations.

As far as the marriage and sex point. You are allowed to have sex but it's not supposed to be for pleasure and for procreation. It says that marriage is between a man and woman. The whole point about procreating out of wedlock isn't even mentioned in the bible as a bad thing, If I remember correctly. I could be wrong about that last bit. I'd have to see a verse saying differently but I don't think there is one.
