Can't disagree with you last paragraph but I'm unconvinced by your proof. ![[Image: gaypig.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=cdn-www.i-am-bored.com%2Fmedia%2Fgaypig.jpg)
To take your example of gay people beaten because the bible said to do so. Is that the prime reason? Or is it just because those people are violent and spiteful bigots who find, in religion, legitimation for their violence and bigotry.
They furnish only biblical justification for doing what they do? That's scarcely proof. It is the justification, but not therefore necessarily the reason. But it sounds better to them than "I'm a scared repressed bully trying to cope with feelings i don't understand"

Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."
