Galatians 5:2-4.

I do find the Bible an interesting read, mainly because people read it and interpret it to suit their own needs most of the time, meaning that the “Christians” we hear in the news rarely have anything to do with everyday Christians.

In 2006 56.1% (according to CIRP) of the newborn males in the States were circumcised, meaning that they are all to be seen as unworthy of Jesus’ love if we are to believe Paul, and yet there is no big movement going on trying to have the practice of circumcision forbidden as far as I know. When however a scripture from the Old Testament (which technically isn’t to be seen as anything but a prelude to the New Testament, the true Christian Holy Scripture) states that men who sleep with men should be put to death hundreds of thousands fanatic Christians see nothing wrong in jumping on the band wagon and deem it an unforgivable sin.

As a straight man I sometimes wonder what it is that have certain men and women advocate hatred against homosexuals. As long as I don’t have to take part in whatever action is going on in a homosexual bedroom I don’t fucking care if a man happens to prefer men over women, or a woman happens to prefer women over men, in the end it’s none of my fucking business.

Having sex with children or animals is a terrible sin, yes (and my personal view is that paedophiles should have their balls chopped off and fed to wolves, followed by a life sentence spent behind bars in China or Guantanamo Bay), but sex between two consenting adults of the same sex certainly isn’t a sin and never was a sin and never will be a sin.

Just listen to Plato, he stated that:

Homosexuality is regarded as shameful by barbarians and by those who live under despotic governments just as philosophy is regarded as shameful by them, because it is apparently not in the interest of such rulers to have great ideas engendered in their subjects, or powerful friendships or passionate love-all of which homosexuality is particularly apt to produce.

And with that I end this Saturday rant.

Peace be with you.
