You take the simple fact that homosexuals want the same rights to marry as heterosexuals as an attack against Christianity. Standing up for your rights is standing up for your rights. The fact that you are a Christian and don't like them doing it doesn't make it an intentional attack against Christians. It makes it a direct attack on the forces that would repress every expression of difference in the name of religion. Your perception of this as an attack has just as much validity as Muslims seeing the Dutch cartoons as an attack on Islam. It places you firmly in the same arena as Muslim extremist. You might not like this comparison but the comparison is valid.



The actual chapter that the injunction against homosexuality is found has more to do with the horrible sin of seeing someone naked. Is being naked as much of an abomination as adultery, incest, child sacrifice, and bestiality.


If your gonna scream about child sacrifice you might want to read up on the rest of the bible before you do so. How many innocent children were slaughtered during the flood? How many children were slaughtered in the battle with the Midianites when Moses insisted that every child that wasn't a virgin female child be put to death? How many children were slain by God when he struck back against the people of Egypt with plagues? How many innocent children were slaughtered when god destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah not to mention that God seemed quite happy with Lots decision to let his daughters get gang raped? The idea that god, as portrayed in the Bible, cares about innocent children is one of the most pernicious lies perpetrated by Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Sincerely Yours,
