Problem being, 4000 year old "morality" that would allow for the killing of disobedient children, has no place in the modern world.

Neither do those who claim to speak for an imaginary beings.

I wouldn’t disagree with the words that Graham had said. Other than perhaps I think it’s incorrect, to make out that Sodom and Gomorrah was just about homosexuality. I believe the Bible indicates that they where beyond redemption, and immoral in a number of different ways.

I have heard it said and agree, that the Gospel has two parts, and if you are neglecting either part, then you are not teaching the Gospel. The first part is about the seriousness and consequences of sin, the second part is about God’s love, mercy and redemption. Jesus saved the woman caught in adultery, but he also told her to go and sin no more. He didn’t condone sin. He taught to love our neighbor and our enemy, but he also said to repent or you too shall perish.

So a flowery excuse for homophobia

If it weren't for religion, homophobia would be near universally condemned in America. But at least we're at the point that I expect most nominal Christians would disagree with Graham, perhaps some silently.

I’m against homophobia.... but agree with what Graham said.    Well at least when the term homophobia is used correctly.

If Jesus would really kill people for being gay, then that's a point against him. Not gays.

Why is it always the christians who shit on their magic books like know nothings?

Quote:Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me...

Sounds like it was more serious than a handy between adam and steve.
