I read something I found on the Internet. I couldn't validate it in its entirety, but parts I could. The food-oriented laws of Leviticus and the abomination of homo sex are two different words in Hebrew, they were just translated to the same word in English, abomination. So, out Shellfish Defense may not be all it's cracked up to be.
On the other hand, the same word in Hebrew for "our abomination" is the same word used to describe children who disobey their parents, divorced people who remarry and having sex with a woman during her menstruation. It was some scholarly looking article by Elizabeth Ann Kellogg...the problem is that I can't find any info about Ms. Kellogg's credentials to speak on such matters. I was able to verify through a host of other articles written by real Rabbis that the two Hebrew words were both translated to the same English word.
Another thing, my own beliefs about being gay and being a sinner is that I've always viewed sins as being deliberate acts, like murder, adultery, theft. You know they're wrong but you do them anyway. Sin. I was born who I am, a child of God. I don't believe it's a sin to be as I was born. It's not a deliberate act to be a homosexual and by extension, the act of sex between two of God's children would also not be a sin...ok, unless it's pedophilia, but between two adults, no.
I've been sending letters to Christians who want to be politicians to be able to legalize their beliefs. If you want a good laugh, you're welcome to read my long-ass letters. I quote scripture, old and new testaments, law, history and just about anything I can throw at these Nazis...Yes, I do liken their behavior to that of Hitler and his Nazis, and I put it in the letters to them. I'm tired of being bashed and I've decided to bash back.
Thanks! You should read the letters I linked before you ask me to contribute, not for the content but for the length. The first letter I wrote to a Georgia Attorney General candidate (Republican + Baptist = Nazi) is 1900-words long...yes, that's 1-9-0-0. He deserved every word of it. Then he pissed me off some more and I wrote him another letter a week later.
My latest "response" is about a Florida candidate for the U.S. Senate and the wacko, off-planetary statements she made in an interview at a Florida Baptist State Convention. In hers I cited a number of historical references where religion and politics didn't mix. I doubt she'd realize they were all atrocities committed by Christians against Jews.
