Where's d000hg when you need him? What does the bible say about homosexuals?

All religions tend to have similar views on homosexuals...... with only the extreme reformists taking a different view....

Well Leviticus explicitly requires the death penalty for any man who has sex with another man regardless of any mitigating circumstances. Jesus also specifies in the NT that he has not come to change the old law but to fulfill prophecies.

However, the bible is the big book of multiple choice. Pick whichever quotes suit your outlook and claim that they are the reason you have the outlook.

Hence you will find the vast majority of those who believe in God will oppose this.....

And they can **** off.

Well for one it affects the definition of what marriage is - that is something everybody should fight to protect. Also you will find the definition of modern marriage stems from religions i.e. Christianity, Judaism, Islam - all of whom oppose homosexuality. Not so long ago homosexuality was viewed as an illness and a crime......

Hence you will find the vast majority of those who believe in God will oppose this.....

Yep, I understand religious objections. But the vast majority of people are not, or are only nominally, religious.

Marriage is what you make it - a gay couple getting married does not affect the relationship between you and your partner.

So we can ignore the ten commandments, titheing (sp?) etc?

And of course we have to ignore Jesus's explicit statement about how he has not come to change the old laws.

yes

He came to fulfill the prophecies. And to create new law.
