This is not up to interpretation. This is black on white: kill homosexuals (and for some reason no lesbians). 'Up to interpretation' is made up by religious people for the truly horrible things that are said in the bible. And yes there are way more horrible things described in the bible. You either believe everything or nothing as the bible is the word of god. |
Leviticus 11:10: 'But whatever is in the seas and in the rivers that does not have fins and scales among all the teeming life of the water, and among all the living creatures that are in the water, they are detestable things to you'
no shrimps, no shellfish, no lobsters for you - nobody practices that shit
Leviticus 7:26: 'Moreover, you shall eat no blood whatever, whether of fowl or of animal, in any of your dwelling places.'; Leviticus 7:27: 'Any person who eats any blood, even that person shall be cut off from his people.'
medium or rare steak ? nope not for you - people, don't care
Leviticus 3:16:'... all the fat is the Lord’S'; Leviticus 3:17: ‘This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live: You must not eat any fat or any blood.’

Leviticus 19:27:‘Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.
Leviticus 19:28:‘Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.
and many many many more
Leviticus is a crazy old testament book (thanks Moses) about sacrifices and lots of crazy rules, with some occasional decent stuff sprinkled in like: Leviticus 19:18:'You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.'
I read it a few months ago, good that it pretty much has no bearing on modern christianity.
