Re: Homosexuality and Religion - April 12th 2013, 03:41 AM

Oh my favourite topic haha... I am actually writing a similar thing, I mean, vaguely, it's about the reinterpretation of the Bible to show how homosexuality isn't actually a sin I may actually use one of the Biblical passages you used becuase I think that I missed that one lmao (don't worry, I'm not plagarizing, not worth risking my education like that and my topic is taking a different rote... it's just very ironic that we're both writing papers right now about the reinterpretation of Biblical passages to enlighten people to the fact that the supposed sin is mostly an interpretive/translational issue over anything else
It's a great time, i have a lot of fun with it. Did you know that in Leviticus 20:13 where it says "a man shall not lie with a man for it is an abomination and he shall die in his blood" (the last bit might be a little off but what ever you know what I mean), ok so there is abomination and the Hebrew word there was something else yeah, and it went towards being "err" OR "abomination", only err doesn't sound that bad, so they obviously used the harsher word. You'll also notice they only ever come close to condemning the ACT and not the actually homosexual feelings and that there are a lot of reasons that they might have condemned the act (adultry, prostituion etc) and none of it had to do with being in a loving romantic relationship with a man because i really don't think they were familiar with homosexuality back then beyond the idea of the action... I could go on, that's just touching the surface of things I know haha.
I think you did a really good job on this so yay
