The narrative is unambiguous. It isn't, actually, seen as allegorical, btw, that's just an excuse Cath has been working to death due to yet another misapprehension regarding what said excuse -can do- with regards to morality.
Not exactly a moral thing... but hey... how do you find out what things disgust god?
People take it as a hint, that god doesn't like something, when he strikes them dead where they stand the very instant they do the thing that disgusts him.
@Catholic - Appealing to natural law again are we? Whats natural must be right, huh? I'm still here, still beating the shit out of people with my fists...naturally. Gotta ask, though, whats the point of a god if we can determine morality by somethings status as natural? Just to cut you off at the pass, with the "I respect/that's your opinion" nonsense. No, it isn't, it's the catholic churches opinion, they're the ones who appeal to "natural law", in no uncertain terms. They just won't stay consistent to it in this or -any other- issue, nor are they content to let what they call the natural law have anything to do with nature. They are -lying- to you, when they advance this argument (because they can't all be so ill-informed as to not realize what they're doing). You find yourself in the unfortunate position of being hoodwinked into carrying that message -here-.
It doesn't hold any water even if you -do- believe in a god. God is irrelevant to -that- argument. The only relevance god has here, is his disgust....which might explain why it's referenced in explanation of the catholic position both now and throughout the centuries...don't you think?
