I'm lookin forward to meeting gay people, theres a bit of a shortage in my little town. The majority of my friends are straight males, I don't see this changing very much.

there wasn't a single gay person in the block of 40 of us in halls last year, which is strange if you consider that "1 in 10" statistic thing.

Laura Schlessinger is a US radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that as an observant Orthodox Jew, she holds homosexuality as an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned in any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a US resident, which was posted on the internet........

Dear Dr.Laura:

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate . I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to follow them.

a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odour for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbours. They claim the odour is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev.15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.

d) Lev.25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring mations. A friend of mine claimed that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Why can't I own Canadians?

e) I have a neighbour who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev.11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

g) Lev.21:20 states that I may not approach the alter of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room there?

h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should they die?

i) I know from Lev.11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting 2 different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of 2 different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? Lev.20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your devoted disciple and adoring fan,

How ironic. You say no offence and then tell someone that they will burn in hell. Hypocrite.

Sorry, none this year. Try again in twelve months.

Wouldn't that mean there will still be some given that it is the same time, just a different year?

People who like to judge others are much more likely to burn in hell than gay people. Especially those who don't understand what the story of Sodom and Gomorrha actually means.
Lot's guests (angels) were demanded by the local men, and it's not that the angels were male that was important, what was really important was that they were his GUESTS. Read Leviticus and you will find out that one of the most important laws for the Jews at that time was the rule of hospitality. The angels were GUESTS and the hosts dared to attack their guests.

People overtime were looking for ways to criminalise gay people and made up the whole sodomite story. It is not a story about homosexuality, it is a story about hospitality.

I am gay and christian.

We're not all gay. We'll never be all gay. I think the world could benefit from gay people not having children, its a bit crowded at the moment.

[EDIT]
And can you save this for the debate forum! This thread is supposed to be about gay people goin to uni, not goin to hell.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

As I live, says the Lord God, your sister Sodom and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done. This was the guilt of your sister Sodom; She and her daughters had pride, excess of food and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did abominable things before me; therefore I removed them when I saw it. Ezekiel 16:46-50

Yeah, great logic. :rolleyes:

Seriously, how have you managed to live this long without getting attacked by an angry mob? Your views are incredibly offensive and archaic.

Thats original!! I would have thought if God didn't want people to be homosexual he wouldn't have allowed them to ever be attracted to each other?

I'm an atheist and i'm hetrosexual, but you aren't in a position to judge other people!
