LoL, and I thought I was the only one!!! I don't know if you remember but I was on the same thread you are talking about. Luckily I got some comments in before it got locked. But it seems that this issue has come up alot in my life lately since Rowling outted Dumbledore.
I have a few points that I've found that I think are VERY intersting concering the Bible, society, and Homosexuality.
Did you all know that the same book (Leviticus) in the Bible that "condemns" homosexuality also condemns eatting eel (sushi anyone?) wearing clothing made of more than one type of fabric (take your pick in Vouge), ************ (do I need to say anything?), Eatting pig (do you want bacon with those pancakes?) and touching or playing with the skin of a pig (whos down for a game of football?) And its also a sin to gather sticks on the Sabbath (How many people rake, or putter around the yard on a Sunday afternoon?)....... And lets not forget divorces (50% of marriages end that way) and tolerating different religions (one of our country's greatest virtues, well in theory anyway) Lots more, too many for one post. My point is that all these things are just as bad in the Bible, so why is everyone so quick to scream "Its a sin! Its a sin!" when it comes to homosexuality, and condemn a whole group of people. If thats the case, Japanese people should be just as "bad" in the eyes of Chrisitans for spreading Sushi around the world (I do love sushi ! )
I know I'm preaching to the choir on this thread, but after reading this stuff, I still don't get how people are so stuck on Homosexuality. I wish that if people were going to condemn gays, they could at least be consistant with the rest of the Bible. But don't count on any Christian protest at the next Super Bowl, or outside of Sushi bars. (But then a friend reminded me that
most of the people that claim they disapprove of gays because of Christianity can't even tell you where in the Bible it says so.)
I sincerely don't mean to offend anyone reading this, so if you are, I do apologize.

But hopefully this info will come in handy next time we encounter another narrowminded, homophobic individual, that hides behind their religion.
