To me...this is the crux of this entire debate, interpretation. The Bibles themselves are translations of texts that have been changed and re interpreted over the last two thousand years, and in my opinion must be taken as such. Thus any interpretation is based on what a group or individual wishes them to say. If my version of the bible says homosexuality is fine, and someone elses claims it as sin.....who is right? And do I have the obligation to correct the other for what I see as an error in the interpretation?
If indeed I accept my version as truth....then I am virtually forced to see the other version as bigotted, and as a Christian stand up against the Judging nature of those who follow the other book.
