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

[kılıç_mehmet]

No, it doesn't. Many jews view it as a sin, many christians view it as a sin. Their god is silent on the matter (as he is in all matters, in any case). Things are rather clear, you are mistaken.

Does it? If it does, what does it say in the verse that I've posted?

If I remember correctly that might have connection to cultic worship acts in OT days, not just two guy's loving each other in San Fran like us moderns think of homosexuality.

Cultic worship?
I wonder how one would interpretate that verse as a "cultic thing", as I don't remember hearing of such a thing in the ancient cults prevailant in the fertile crescent. Sacred prostitution was one thing, bacchanalia another, but I believe that this refers to the act itself. Sodomy.
It says the same in the Turkish and German versions of the Bible that I've read.

Here is the German version:

Du sollst nicht beim Knaben liegen wie beim Weibe; denn es ist ein Greuel.

Thou shalt not lie with the boys as thou would lie with a woman, because it's an abomination.

I think that this translation is rather accurate in how homosexuality was practiced in the ancient days. Not amongst two grown men, but amongst a man and an adolescent boy. For the ancient Israelis, homosexuality did not came in the form between two grown men, probably.
But today, homosexuality has moved from being between adolescents and grownups. It still holds true.


Now to the Turkish translation.

Kadınla yatar gibi bir erkekle yatma. Bu iğrençtir.

Do not lie with a man as thou would lie with women. It is disgusting.

This is similar to the other versions.

Mehm condemns homosexual activity, it doesn't actually matter to him what the bible has to say on the matter Tea. If it said that god loved all the fabulous gays and especially their hair products, and occasionally took it up the ass, it would be clear to him that the text was incorrect.

True, I do not condone such acts. However, in todays world with civil liberties, I guess people can act as they want to. But I have certain limits when it comes to society. I do not want those people to be visible to normal society, and take part in society with their homosexual identities. They must respect the boundaries that we have set for them. It is defined on mutual respect. We're the majority, they're the minority. They ought not to make demands of us.
