The president seems to be like a lot of fundies these days, picking and choosing which part they like and spouting off about it, while leaving out others and saying it isn't important. When I came out to my dad, and mentioned that in the same passage in Leviticus where it talked about men lying with men, that it also forbade eating shellfish, and wearing red, and eating pork. He said that those scriptures were no longer valid, but the one about homosexuality was valid. I was like, "Dad, I saw no line in there dividing what was eternal truth and what was irrelevant in the year 2005" He said that that was just for the Hebrews, and I said, "Exactly! and I ain't Jewish, unless there is something you haven't told me. And, did Jesus and Paul both say that the law showed how much we needed a Savior and that the ONLY two commandments Jesus HIMSELF said were to love our neighbor as ourself and love the Lord our God with all our hearts?" He couldn't answer me. Oh well... I just hope that we don't have a 150 year struggle to go before we are granted our constitutional rights.
