Church stance on gay marriage "for good of society", says Bishop Michael Nazi

RE: Church stance on gay marriage "for good of society", says Bishop Michael Nazi
There's actually a teeny tiny group of Christians who believe that the Bible isn't against homosexuality. They say that most of the passages that read to be against homosexuality when taken in historical context were actually against acts that were part of pagan idol worship, pedestry or other things. It has some small amount of scholarly support if I remember correctly. I was interested in it when I was Christian because the traditional stance of course made no sense to me.

Now that I look at it, it's probably just a new case of revisionism brought on by pressure to keep Christianity relevant. It seems that it's impossible for Christianity to stay relevant for very long in its "true" form (whatever that may be) as science and society changes.

"What do you know!? The Bible doesn't really teach the sun revolves around the earth after all if we just completely reinterpret this verse."

"What do you know!? The Bible doesn't teach 6 day creation after all if we just fit 4 billion years of evolution between these verses!"

Etc etc...
My ignore list




"The lord doesn't work in mysterious ways, but in ways that are indistinguishable from his nonexistence."
-- George Yorgo Veenhuyzen quoted by John W. Loftus in The End of Christianity (p. 103).
