One of the best verses in the Bible.

I have never understood why Christians point to the "abomination" verse as proof that homosexuality is wrong, but do not also offer it as proof that gays must receive the death penalty. Isn't that cherry-picking the Old Testament?

Which, as a Christian, she would know that Leviticus laws no longer apply.

So, if you find homosexuality wrong, immoral and perverted you're a nut case? Sounds like the metal wards of the old Soviet Union.
Have whatever opinions you want, but with those she has she will NEVER be elected to the Whitehouse, Americans as a whole are against hateful intolerance.

One of the best examples of the most misused and cherry-picked verses in the Bible. What about the other 613 laws that all Christians break everyday?

When read in context of the language and culture of the time, as well as the surrounding verses, this verse is most likely referring to the worshipping practices of Canaanite male temple prostitutes like those referred to in Deuteronomy 23:17. A practice that died out thousands of years ago.
The context is religious idolatry.

You will find most of the laws in Lev 20 which carry the death penalty, repeated almost verbatim in Deuteronomy. Except Lev 20:13.

PS: Her husband runs the Bachmann Christian Counseling Center where people are told they can "pray" away the Gay.
I guess bubba is anti gay too since he passed DOMA. Of course the orator doesn't believe in laws so says ah I'll just tell the justice department not to enfore it. THAT is whay you should be howling about. The CIC thinks he's above the law. But if it fits into your "gay agenda" you have no problem with it. He'll get to you eventually if this continues I guarantee it.

Nobody is saying you have to personally like or endorse gay, or lesbian behavior. But it really none of your damn business what other people do in their private lives.

Michele Bachmann in Her Own Words: 'Gays Are Part of Satan'

Pretty sure Bachmann didn't have the gay vote, before she made that statement, anyway.

No harm no foul.
