Comment on They seem to turn a blind eye to many things as long as you have a (R) next to your name and promise to hurt the right people. Must have missed that bible verse

  Indirectly. By affirming the old testament, Jesus of the Bible condemned the act of sodomy (the act perpetrated by the people of Sodom and Gomorrah).

    Could be fake disinformation but someone once told me that the “man lie with another man” is a mistranslation from the king James ver. and the original was that man should not lie with a child. I never fact checked it full disclosure

      I’ve heard that there are disputed verses in the King James Bible as well (not this one). But at the same time this Bible is quite well established, and as such indicates what the consensus of Christians is (or has been).

        I see what you’re saying, but I’m not sure you can call it consensus when the various bible translations have been nearly exclusively produced by the ruling class who were using it for control over the populace.

        It would be interesting to see which translation would actually win a general vote if there wasn’t pressure from church leadership to use a specific one.

        I’m not saying it isnt, I just think its funny that these people think theyre somehow following the teachings of Jesus by being bigots when the original Bible (supposedly) says nothing of the sort.

    Luckily, gay people don’t. Hard to get a penis in a vagina with either two penises or two vaginas.

      I bet you also answer the question, “can you drink a glass of water?”, with “no, you can’t drink glass”.
