[quote=Anonymous]I can't get over how many people say, "The Bible is clear" on the topic of homosexuality.  It's not.  The words used to describe "homosexuality" didn't mean homosexuality as we know it.  That term did not exist.  The context and emphasis is much more about sexual immorality and 'excess.' During this time, it was common for men (mostly married) to take younger boys as additional lovers and this was a not a reciprocal arrangement.  You can see this custom has survived in Afghanistan.  Now that is truly evil.  Prudish men who think homosexuality is "gross" have deliberately misinterpreted the Bible for hundreds of years and have pulled the wool over all the non-welcoming churches.  It gives them power to convince their flock that they are being "strong" and are morally superior because they are the only ones willing to stand up for the "truth."  This whole thing is probably a test from God to see who took his exhortation to love your neighbors as yourself seriously or if the sense of superiority was just too strong.  Sadly, we're failing this test as a religion...[/quote]
