fangirlandproudofit:sushinfood:crippledcuriosity:itsfondue:Isn’t it nice how people twist their religious scripture to suit their weds but when it’s used against them it’s suddenly not okayI talked to a monk about this quote once (we have mutual friends, and he came to a New Year’s Eve party at my shared art studio). He said this isn’t even talking about homosexuality. That the bible never actually says homosexuality is wrong. What that passage means is this:Women were treated as subservient and it that you shouldn’t treat other men as subservient, like they are beneath you. It is not talking about homosexuality. If it was, it would say it outright since the bible lists other things outright.I take the word of a monk who have studied the bible extensively more than a self proclaimed Christian.Beauty.I’m a Christian and I approve this message.I’d also like to point out that, even with a fairly strict interpretation, this still leaves penis-fencing, oral sex and mutual masturbation an open option. I’d like to further point out that the act of lying with another man has diddly squat to do with marriage.Finally, same-sex marriage is part of many religious traditions, including native american religions. -- source link
