Do a little more research and a little less generalization and you might answer your own questions. I’m done conversing with you. You can stop having your tantrum now.I haven’t generalized anyone; I have just judged the source of the teachings which is the Bible. You don’t even know what you’re arguing about. But go ahead and play victim.
But yes you have. You have blatantly dismissed an entire faith as misogynistic and homophobic based on a few passages that even most adherents to that same faith believe are ancient relics from a bygone era.
I don’t know about “most adherents” but it is heartening that the number seems to increase daily.
However it is disheartening that people still believe things like “homosexuality is a sin” because God supposedly said so.
Right. Like, none of those same Christians believe BBQing ribs is a sin. Yet that’s in Leviticus too. But the ban on pork existed for serious health reasons. Likewise the various rules on sexuality existed for reasons inherent to that society, and in some cases were actually liberal for the time. Leviticus didn’t mandate homophobia, it was already the dominant societal discourse. To totally reverse course would have been totally shocking. Things like this must change gradually, and they now have. There’s no good reason today to arrest people for sodomy, and even most clergy wouldn’t be in favor of such a thing. Yet many if not most of them remain opposed to gay marriage. It’s an evolutionary process.
