There's passages that contradict laying with a man to be an abomination? There's passages that say slavery is a sin?
I don't think they hedged their bets as much as you like to think. And besides, that wasn't actually my point. My point is, if there wasn't this stupid shit written down in the first place, it wouldn't be used as an excuse to do stupid shit.
