Hello, it says in Leviticus 18:22 (in which God himself is speaking, not Paul or Moses) " 'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.'" So God said himself for men not to have sex with other men.


That little quotation right there is a perfect example of interpretation and religious texts. You take it to mean "don't bone men" because it's detestable, whereas a more liberal-thinking person could take it to mean "use a different sexual technique with men than with women" because trying to hide salami within more salami is a detestable practice.

At any rate, intolerance is a bitch, but you know what? If you get all pissy at intolerant people, you're just being intolerant towards them. It's a grand paradox. I say just let people have their beliefs and biases. I'm not saying don't debate them, but being intolerant towards intolerant people makes you intolerant yourself and therefore a hypocrite. Yeah, I'm a pain.

And Halx, it's too bad you're an atheist. It doesn't take much effort to keep an open mind about life after death.
