“God saw the need to legislate the “sin” and “wickedness,” as Webster’s puts it, of homosexuality.”
What evidence do you have to substantiate statement? You don’t know what “God saw”. You’re basing your entire argument on a book written by MAN, not God. And you’re basing your faith in the fact that that particular book is “the word of God”, on the belief system of a people who in their “Manifest Destiny” justified slaughtering native Americans by saying it was "God’s will", who are, as we speak, slaughtering Iraqi citizens as “God’s will” and who had Black slaves tied next to the mules, while they taught us that THAT was “God’s Will.” So before you can base an argument on the Bible, you have to be able to demonstrate, without a doubt, that it is the word of God, as oppose to what you simply choose to have "faith" in.
And keep this in mind while you ponder that–the only reason you’re a Christian as opposed to a Muslim, a Buddhist, or any number of other religions, is merely an accident of birth. If you had been born in another part of the world, you’d be just as brainwashed by their religious tradition as you are Christianity.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem with any religion–as long as it’s adherents don’t try to shove their beliefs down everybody else’s throats. You can only know God’s will by what he has done–and he made birds to fly, fish to swim, and man to THINK--not to have "faith" in the word of another man.
Thus, when it doesn’t make sense to me that Moses parted the Red Sea, that reflects the logical mind that God created and gave me telling me not to buy into that nonsense. Then when man comes along telling me to ignore what God gave me, and to have “faith”. He’s not asking me to have faith in God, he’s telling me to ignore God and have faith in him, and what he's telling me about God.
Therefore, religion is not the worship of God, it's the worship of man--that's why Bush currently has the blessing millions.
