Are you talking about your hate and self-righteous judgment, or homosexuality?

I'm referring to the people that ignore clear teaching of scripture. I could make the claim all I want that adultery is not wrong according to the Bible, and come up with some Biblical "proof texts" but the fact would remain that it is wrong and I shouldn't do it. It doesn't change the morality of the issue.

My point is that you don't have to be the judge because that job is already taken.

So why exactly are you judging me if it's so wrong?

But homosexuality was accepted by a great number of the greatest societies of the world, before Judeo-Christian tradition decided it was evil.

Rome, Greece, Egypt, Persia, all accepted homosexuality as at least somewhat normal. While Rome, for instance, would change its view based on the leader or the time, it wasn't persecuted or seen as anything abnormal. It may have been considered immoral, but so are lots of other things that are generally accepted by most folks.

God has called it wrong since long before those other societies showed up.

God told people to kill homosexuals.

Why do you draw the line one place, but not another?
