Selective Bible reading: Gaybashing and heterosexual adultery

SELECTIVE BIBLE READING

The Bibel´s opinion on homosexuality is severe and the practise regarded as an abomination to be punsihed with the capital punishment:

”Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." (Leviticus 18:22)

Sapphic love is not mentioned because it is either unthinkable or intensly uninteresting since women are regarded as inferior to men.


It seems convenient to the vast majority of us to skip Leviticus 18:20 stating

”Do not have sexual relations with your neighbor’s wife and defile yourself with her”

and to ignore further down ”Do not defile yourself”.


The punishments are just as severe and the patterns of behaviour equally abonimable.


Selective reading of the Bible is commonplace. The impact of a capital punishment of unfaithful and cheating spouses would literally reduce 50 % or more of the sexually active adult global population.


The Bible texts on Sodom and Gomorra do not focus on homosexuality solely but also on extralegal fornification, sexual vices and promiscuity in general. Since the latter practise, heterosexual infidelity, is far more common than homosexual in numeric proportions, we ignore it because maybe we have all been there or at least thought about it which is, according to the Bible, just as bad.


For all gaybashers and the responsibles of hatecrimes there´s a whole new world out there to kill or maime, namely the majority of the global adult population, if you are a keen follower of the Old Testament and the apostle Paulus.

And if you ever have satisfied yourself, remember you are just as bad. Any one left to survive?


Just a reflection on Easter Day when life triumphs over death because of Divine love.
