Girls! Show your contempt for religion -Have butt sex!

[Angrboda]

Read romans 1 again. Paul is ranting on about all sorts of 'crimes', from fornicating to dishonouring your parents and "men turning their bodies from it's natural use, and lusting after men" "so to did the women...", and then at the end of romans 1 he says they are all worthy of death.

For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.


Romans 1:26-27 New American Standard Bible.

According to a footnote in this translation, the literal translation for the word unnatural in verse 26 is "against nature". At least in the following verse the author is explicitly condemning male homosexual relations.

However I am inclined to believe that the author is condemning certain sexual practices (which included both male and female temple prostitution) which would be a part of worship of gods other than Yahweh. I am inclined to believe this is because earlier in the chapter starting in verse 18, the author goes on about how people exchanged the living god for idols.

As far as I know I am not aware that females had sex with other females in that place and time, which was associated with worship of particular gods. Hey I could be wrong here and will happily change my opinion. All I know of these sort of religious worship, is that men had sex with both female and male scared prostitutes.

I should pull up an interlinear bible and look, but feh. I have been told by an independent scholar of fair reliability, that the Hebrew for "(female) temple prostitute," variously transliterated as Qaddeshim (which I need to look up as well), actually simply meant "holy". So what in later works was interpreted as referring to pagan temple prostitution (whose existence and nature is unclear) may have simply been referring to a pagan priest or priestess, or other pagan functionary.
