What do you think of this anti-religious statement.

I really don't geta some Christians. How can they hate gays when they say they follow Jesus? I've read the new testament, Jesus was a loving fellow. He may not have agreed with gays but he sure as hell would've loved them and accepted them.

 

Leviticus 18:22: 

"You shall not lie with a male as those who lie with a female; it is an abomination."

Leviticus 20:13: 

"If a man lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination and they shall surely be put to death."

Leviticus 18:22: 
"You shall not lie with a male as those who lie with a female; it is an abomination."

Leviticus 20:13: 
"If a man lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination and they shall surely be put to death."

This is why.

Read my post for other "wise" things said in Leviticus.

Leviticus hardly has any bearing on modern society, why someone would want to quote it is mind boggling.

Nonetheless, its part of the Bible, a book many Christians consider infalliable.  Christians also accept other Old Testament teachings, such as Creation, Noah's Flood, Moses' Exodus, and so forth.

Besides, the argument against gay rights from many Christian groups is that homosexuality is an abomination against God, and this is exactly where they get it.

Yes, I know I said it in my earlier post, they consider it infallible.

So why don't they kill bullocks and lambs when they prey any more? Why don't they actively repress women? Why don't they stone blasphemers to death? Why don't they own slaves?

These things have equal/greater footing than condemning homosexuality in Leviticus, so why is it acceptable for people choose one quote from Leviticus and not another if the book is infallible?

It's just a homophobic agenda set out by the religions that condemn it, it has nothing to do with the religious texts. They have tried to justify their hatred by finding quotes from a book which is completely redundant.

-edit-

I guess what I'm trying to say is that by justifying their position by quoting Leviticus 18:22 and asserting that it is infallible is in effect saying that the whole book is infallible. If someone believes that Leviticus is infallible then they shouldn't be allowed to bring their hate crimes into our modern society.

Maybe I am creating a bit of a quasi-strawman argument, but I don't see how it can be any other way.
