Are you a Jew living in ancient Israel under the Mosaic Law? Why would you be concerned with unclean animals?

IT DOES make a lot of difference because what happens in the dark affects others.

I had a good friend in high school. His name was Peter and we enjoyed many good times together. A few years after graduation I learned that Peter was gay and that he'd been murdered by another gay person during an encounter 'in the privacy of a hotel room'.

Peters' friends and family were devastated. I was in the military at the time and unable to attend funeral services.

So don't put on your phony attitude that it doesn't matter what happens between between consenting adults - because its a lie. It matters a lot.

Some people think the world revolves around them - sun, moon and stars too - and flatly refuse to acknowledge their responsibility to themselves, to their families, to their community AND TO GOD. Such persons are so self-absorbed they cannot and will not see anything except their own self-centered lust and aberrations.

For in the end we all stand before the justice of God.

"do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.…"

- 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

To all those who promote the cotton candy gospel that says God is love and is not righteous, I must say that they are teaching error and living a lie. They are doing themselves and everyone who accepts their rubbish a disservice. God is first a foremost RIGHTEOUS ! Those that dilute all the warnings about immorality will receive a greater punishment than those sinners who continue in their self-delusion and conceit.

and that's just me, hollering from the choir loft...

Just when I think I've heard of every nonsensical justification to exhibit hatefulness....

Has a heterosexual person EVER been killed by another?

Only many times a day, every day, everywhere.

Should heterosexuality be a sin?

God gave us free will = choice

If you choose to do sin, that's your choice, not Gods.

The Bible clearly condemns Homosexuality in various books as a grave sin but the main one that's crystal clear is Leviticus 20:13

99% of Gays denounce this scripture or try to make it fit their own carnal train of thought to no avail.

The bible is wrong in umpteen ways. The condemnation of homosexuality is just one.

Would you use a 2,000+ year-old map to get from your house to Auckland New Zealand?

How about a 2000+ year-old medical book to treat cancer?

I didn't think so.

But somehow, some people think a 2000+ year-old collection of stories is a current guide of how to live.

Ridiculous.

I don't know where you live but in Canada, fish stocks have been tested for levels of mercury, dioxin and other chemicals for several decades. The levels of each have been dropping steadily. Safe consumption limits for male adults, children and women of child-bearing age have been established.

In short, mercury contamination does not pose nearly the threat it did 40 years ago.

Thank Science.
