People who oppose gay marriage are like Christians who used the Bible to support apartheid and slavery, says bishop (death, state)

No, it doesn't. If the gays are married, it's no longer adultery.

Why not? The church has edited it repeatedly to suit their needs.

Hospitable? Creepy is more like it.

Did you miss Ezekiel?

Let me quote it for you.

New International Version (©2011)
"'Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
New Living Translation (©2007)
Sodom's sins were pride, gluttony, and laziness, while the poor and needy suffered outside her door.

English Standard Version (©2001)
Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food, and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy.

New American Standard Bible (©1995)
"Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy.

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

Ezekiel 16:49 "'Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.

Which translation do you want? None of them mention anything about homosexuality.

Yep, everything is being turned on its head now. Upside down.

I haven't had sex upside down. Is it fun?

Wanting sex with the men angels is homosexual sex. I think you would agree. I am sure the other was also true. They had many sins, to numerous to count.

It was not the thing to do that is for sure. Lot was outnumbered and in a corner. A foolish mistake for sure but it never happened anyway.
