I can't follow their "logic." We know that it is not a choice. Science proves that it is not a choice. So, by being born that way that means that God created them that way. So...they are hating a creation/a child of God. <br />Having been pagan for over a decade, maybe I'm just spoiled. If you harm none, I love you. And the bored Gods love you too lol<br />Another great post, Anne!Stacy Porterhttp://www.stacyporter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-69047990741791166042014-03-28T08:29:04.840-04:002014-03-28T08:29:04.840-04:00No pantheon under the Sun would accept the use of ...No pantheon under the Sun would accept the use of young male prostitutes as a practice that harms none. "Harm none" is the stricture of many Pagan practices, and it is just as difficult as the Golden Rule, if not more so.Anne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18083739996560380258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-73644387567779444782014-03-27T21:46:03.983-04:002014-03-27T21:46:03.983-04:00You're right, of course, about the Bible and i...You're right, of course, about the Bible and its position on gods. Some of the translations paper over things, but Genesis is really chock full of would-be references to the older Canaanite pantheon. <br /><br />I know a lot of gay Christians, and I believe that eventually the spirit of the law will win out over the (translated) letter of the law when it comes to Christianity.<br /><br />Leviticus, where the primary prohibition against homosexuality is, deals mostly in keeping clean in various ways, and I can see how homosexuality fits into that, I suppose. Paul's references use weird Greek words that appear to probably be about young male prostitutes. It seems anything like gay marriage was not on the radar when the prohibitions were written. <br /><br />It's always seemed to me that most of those insisting that their religion forces them to treat people like me like crap are just looking to blame God for their politically-motivated hate.
