In the end, all you are doing is taking scripture out of context and twisting it to fit what ever point you are trying to make.
I'm sorry, I thought this was common practice in your religion. If I have offended you by twisting it the wrong way, I sincerely apologise.
Nope, it's not. And I find it hard to believe your apology is sincere.
I am confused. Why would you assume I am lying? That's a pretty big accusation from somebody whose religion equates it with stealing, murder, or worse yet, using the Lords name in vain. Also, are you sure it's not a common practice? Whenever I go to Sunday mass, the priest will quote the bible out of context just like I did there, to support the general purpose of the sermon.
I'm not catholic.
Well good, because neither was the preacherwoman.
Where in the bible does it say to hate gays, again?
It doesn't. It calls homosexual sex an abomination.
That's also an interesting thing about it. Never once in the bible does it say anything about romantic relationships between men being wrong or immoral, it's just the sex bits that are wrong. Which is ludicrous, because the only thing the verse you're referring to brands an abomination is "lying with a man as you lay with a woman", which is physically impossible to all but a few men. Sounding is bad, but anal sex is NOT "lying as you lay with a woman", if we should also believe what the bible teaches us about having non-reproductive sex. Sure, non-reproductive sex is also forbidden, which destroys whatever argument I had going with this post and all, but technically, having sex with a man is not, like eating crayfish, an "abomination". Unless your partner has a very stretchable phallus.
