Pinched from a correspondent on the TES website:
I've seen that bit in the Bible saying a man shouldn't lie with another man and many people have quoted it like it is the be all and end all of morality. Gay people don't choose to be gay, but damn it they shouldn't be made to feel lower than anyone else about something they have no control over.
If I'm going to hell, who's coming with me? Do these holy words apply to anyone?
DEUTERONOMY 22:13-21
If it is discovered that a bride is not a virgin, the Bible demands that she be executed by stoning immediately.
DEUTERONOMY 22:22
If a married person has sex with someone else's husband or wife, the Bible commands that both adulterers be stoned to death.
MARK 10:1-12
Divorce is strictly forbidden in both Testaments, as is remarriage of anyone who has been divorced.
LEVITICUS 18:19
The Bible forbids a married couple from having sexual intercourse during a woman's period. If they disobey, both shall be executed.
MARK 12:18-27
If a man dies childless, his widow is ordered by biblical law to have intercourse with each of his brothers in turn until she bears her deceased husband a male heir.
DEUTERONOMY 25:11-12
If a man gets into a fight with another man and his wife seeks to rescue her husband by grabbing the enemy's genitals, her hand shall be cut off and no pity shall be shown her.
Quite a few people going to Hell then, or shall we just disregard the whole thing as a bunch of rules written 2000 years ago?
