I had previously read that the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah could have been God’s rebuke for people being inhospitable. It was very important that people take care of travellers at that point in history because they (the travellers) couldn’t just whip out their credit cards and order room service.

So when I started (slowly) reading the Bible, I was struck that the story of Sodom and Gomorrah is preceded by Genesis 18 which is about showing hospitality to EVERYONE.

I’m sure there’s a decent point somewhere amongst that babble.

The Bible can be used to support or refute any number of social issues. It can be used to justify rape, murder, slavery, oppression of women, oppression of children, etc.

It also contains a fair amount of adultery and scandal.

Personally, my favorite book is Ecclesiastes: “…For every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven…” As the social and political tide changes, it is becoming more and more our “time,” our “season,” as gay and lesbian people.

i applaud your use of reason and your skill backing up your points. =) and it was nice to hear something about love on the topic of homosexuality and GOD when so much out there is about the hate. *shakes head* good job, girl!

You’re a great person, Monica Yeater. Janice and I both think so. And you deserve a better DJ. Good day.
