I'm sure you are not, but your nasty hate filled attitude, if serious, puts you in a very small minority.

Well getting the passage correct might help for a start. You quote part of the Old Testament law, the same law that prohibits lending at interest, that bans shellfish etc and which applied to the people of Israel. Not to DBAs per se unless they are also part of that group which seems unlikely.

Well whilst there are Organisations that are offended by homosexuality, there are also Christian Organisations that embrace and welcome it. It is an open question theologically at the moment, not something that is 'very clear'. For what its worth I do believe that the standard of behaviour required of *practising christians* does preclude homosexual relationships. That is entirely different from 'hating fags'. I also believe that the standard of behaviour requires other behaviour patterns one of which is to treat others with love and respect - try Mark 12:31 for a reference since you seem to like them.

Naturally I won't be bothering to enter a religious debate here, it isn't the place but I can't leave this attitude as representative of the Christian religion, since it is so distorted as to be offensive and unhelpful.
