I think compared to many radical Muslims, there are many Jews and Christians more tolerant of gays or lesbians. Of course, that is perhaps the rule and not the exception as there are radical Jews and Christians that are less tolerant of gays and lesbians than than some Muslims.

So what, you’re saying there has never been a Christian nation that has executed homosexuals?

People want ALL religion out of laws.

The church I've just begun attending is about 1/3 white, 1/3 Hispanic and 1/3 black. It seems to be a bit of an odd duck having such an equal split. Churches, much like neighborhoods tend to favor a race or ethnicity.
I read a survey in which it disclosed more churches today are becoming more ethnicity related, which imo, is more odd than your odd duck. We were mingling, now, not so much.

You'll have to define, pedophilia. Child bride is legal in the u.s. (depending on State's laws) with parental consent.

In my grandmother's family born in the 1800's (no laws against) most girls were married by at 16. To not be, one was considered to be 'an old maid', (and shamed) which my grandmother endured that comment as she did not marry until age 18. (also, she was one of 9 children)

Cultures change over time; our perception of 'indecency' does as well.
Pedophilia is about sex with prepubescent children.

Most cultures throughout history viewed the onset of puberty as the appropriate age for sexual relations, marriage and/ or consumption of earlier marriages.

100 years ago, in the US, the age of consent for girls in most states was age 10-12. Delaware determined age.

Everyone of us is a descendent of a female who was substantially younger than 18 when she first gave birth.

Typical over-simplification by a one-issue poster who seeks to polarize the entire forum over the issue of sexuality -- and deliver it to the broad-spectrum, not-really-"liberal" Leftists who have duped him (and too many others).

The "examples" he references are far-removed from mainstream Christianity, and the Republicans and Libertarians he seeks to demonize.

Has far more to do with power than religion.

Christianity is the predominate religion in America.
Does it matter which religion hates Gays more?

Oh, I didn't, but your fervor clouds your mind.
What did you mean by Larry wanting to kill them? Joe’s holy book says the same thing.
