I highly doubt that. For one thing the whole point of christianity is to emulate christ, a person who never put up such arrogent displays of bigotry. He was the man that saved a prostitute from being stoned. Now Im not god but Id imagine "god" would frown apon prostitution more than homosexuality.

I thought it was to follow the word of god ie the bible? This is what I was taught in church at least. And if it were about christ's anti-bigotry values (which I'm not officially agreeing with that for the reccord) why are the majority of congregations going against those beleifs and even debatable concepts jesus clearly proclaimed in the bible?
I'm sorry I'm just having a hard time beleiving the word of god is open to such a wide interpretation. Hell, I don't even know where the line is drawn between man/boy pedophillia and homosexuality in a religious sense.
But you get my point at least wether you agree with it or not, right? I feel anything less than true 100% dedication to the bible is just half-assing it to fit around ones personal life and personal beleiefs. ie the pro homosexual says "jesus would be cool with it" the anti-homosexual says "its an abomination and you are going to hell for it"
Aren't these the argument we hear constantly? One of them has to be right? I say we take the logical approach that the king james bible's god probably does hate homosexuals its in his own book he wrote as an "abonimation". No personal offence to the gays as I find very little sensical logic in the bible.
