I'm not assuming...I'm reading it that way because of your choice of words like "other side of the fence", which has a very specific adversarial meaning. And I have also acknowledge on multiple occasions that not all people of faith see things the same way (there wouldn't be so many schisms and denominations if they did). I have on multiple occasions pointed out where gay people are not necessarily perfect (i did it in my last post).
It is odd that Warb understands you BTW as he finds it generally a challenge to understand the most simple things.
What Lucas did to Star Wars was to alter the official canon (repeatedly) and delete the old (not many people have been killed in the name of the Yoda BTW).
What I'm suggesting is that churches (of all faiths) that wish to distance themselves from acts of violence based on the scripture prohibitions, should remove or adjust their 'official' versions to reflect their actual beliefs and practices.
The original versions would still be maintained in libraries and in the churches that refuse to change their scriptures and will probably be accused of hypocrisy when they condemn violence. But the official versions for worship would remove the call for violent acts.
I don't believe that all acts of violence against gay people are directly Bible based I've said this repeatedly on this thread and others too.
I believe the bigoted Bible text in question came from the human authors, translators and editors being bigoted in the first place.
On an animal level humans are threatened by the foreign or alien and tend to get angsty about sex generally.
However the Bible as a cultural artifact is so ingrained into all aspects of our lives and language that even atheist thugs will on some level be influenced by it. What was once a matter of faith has become a matter of tradition regardless of faith.
