This is going to shake the very foundation of Christian faith and will make the Republican Right lose their biggest selling point: that homosexuality is a sin.

Leviticus 18:22 said:
'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

A clear cut argument against homosexuality... or something else? Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman. Just me or does that sound like Gay Sex 101? Of course one should not lie with a man as one would a woman because that is impossible due to two men not having a vagina between them! The Bible isn't condemning homosexuality between two men; it is telling you how to do it!

"Listen here you dumbass, if you're going to sleep with another man you have to realize that you can't do it as with a woman."

Mind. Blown.

"Eagle Nest calling for Chief English Sergeant Walker. Over."
"Chief English Sergeant Walker here. What is the situation? Over."
"Eagle Nest requests thorough explanation of the word "as" - it's different meanings, history and possible interpretations. Over."
"On it, Eagle Nest, I'm going in. Walker out."

Edit: also compare the same text in different languages, ideally Hebrew.
 
The bible says alot of ****, its says you can't eat pork, you can't have gay sex, women can't wear gold or have their hair braided, you can't wear mixed fabrics, you can't get your fortune read, men can't shave, you can't get anything pierced or get tattoos.

Women are cursed with their monthly menstrual cycle and the suffering of pregnancy because eve ate the fruit. Women can't be teachers or anyone of authority *coughs* Angel *coughs*
Also the fact it says women were the second gender which if you are to believe then you are discrediting science for why have men got nipples? Because all embryos in the womb start off as female thats why.

It also says that Noah was 600 years old when he made the arc, and that Abraham married his half sister, and after the story you are referring to (Sodom & Gomorrah) Lott and his daughters were the only people left in the world, so what happened? Lott's daughters got their daddy drunk and raped him.

It also says that the messiah to come will be called Immanuel not Jesus! And that god creates light, darkness, good & evil not the devil (Which is later contradicted in the new testament by Matthew or Luke) How about the fact it says Snakes and donkeys can talk? How about it promoting the murder of non-believers such as polytheists. Ands its direct claim that all other gods are demons, or telling you to give all your possessions away, or to forget the morrow and not give thought to your obligations, there is a tonne of incest and long lived prophets who well live past the age of people whom with medicine today would have trouble reaching. However aside from all this it promotes war, genocide, slavery, rape and pedophilia and invading lands and taking your enemies daughters for yourself, this book is sick and twisted theres really no reason whatsoever to be a Jew or Christian. My absolutely favorite rhetoric is Christians wearing Crosses and having so much art of their history when that clearly breaks the commandment against graven images of anything in the likeness of in heaven or of the earth.

I don't know what version you got that passage out of but in mine it says:
Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."

Abomination is a fairly over used word in this book. Though its clear to say everything Yahweh isn't fond of is an abomination. One last thing before I keep ranting the first page of the bible Genesis Chapter 1, God creates the light 4 days later he creates the sun.

So yeah the bible says alot of ****, and thats precisely what it all is.... ****.....I'll leave now
 
Has actually nothing to do with the topic at hand.

True, but do I care? No, no I do not. :P

In any case I mentioned a few points of what the op was mentioning so my rant had a general direction of following what the thread was about; the sin of homosexuality. I was merely pointing out a few other things that blow my mind about this, nothing more. :)
 
I really don't hold anything in the bible to be true. All that stuff Hermit said is great ammunition for arguing against the validity of the bible, but there's also another big main reason why I don't believe in it. I think David Cross explains it best.

If the Bible clearly stated that s*** stinks, rain falls down, and the sky is blue, Im still getting a second opinion. Preferably from someone with at least a basic understanding of reality.

But I will take note of those instructions, as always I've been doing it wrong.

Duuuuude. You should know that I ain't touching a thread that explicitly warns me about religious content in the title. Religious content gives me indigestion.

So why am I here? Um... I don't know.

EDIT: But I would prefer to be "Senior Chief English Major Walker." Maybe even "Master Chief English Major Walker."

As an English major, I'm willing to interpret this as a simile. "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman..." "You are as dumb as a box of rocks/fair as the sun/boobalicious as a boobonaut." Not literal, then/

Obviously you can do butt stuff, blowjobs, stick your dick between the thighs; with a woman as well as a man. So you'd still be lying.

More worrying, to lie with a woman would, in modern English, imply that you were telling falsehoods with her. To lay with a woman would be sexytimes. So maybe you can lay with a man as you would a woman, but you can't lie with them?
 
Or maybe, just maybe, it is OK to lie to another man as long as the type of lie the same kind of lie you would tell a woman?

"Dude, bro, does my butt look big in this thong...?"

DUDE I JUST BROKE THE LIKE BUTTON AND LAUGHED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE QUIET OFFICE NOW THEY THINK I'M CRAZY.

But I'm not sure the logic is consistent there. I think the implication would be that the lie would have to be different, not the same. And are we sure that "with" and "to" lying are the same?
