To be fair, most Christians cite the laws of Leviticus as being for that time period, and reflect on the argument that Jesus fulfilled the law (of Leviticus), so the most important teachings are from him, as well as examples in the NT (which say that various foods are clean, as per Acts).

Oh certainly. I don't think I've ever even heard of anyone who follows Leveticus (all the animal sacrifices would get messy). But it is often cited by those opposed to homosexuality. Actually, did Jesus ever say anything specific about the topic of homosexuality? I'm not sure.

 

@ Strategyking - of course they have every right to decide what to do with their charitable donations. We just think it's pretty shitty that this arch diocese considers helping people to be slightly less important than discriminating against homosexuals.

I'm not super knowledgeable of the Bible, but from what I do know Jesus never mentioned shunning/outcasting gays the way the church currently does. I'm sure they could edit and pencil hate speak in fairly easily if they absolutely had to...
