It's three forty in the morning, so I'll try write something useful about the interesting points you raised later. Now is the time for minutiae. I find the idea that your bible tells you to kill homosexuals to be frighteningly wrong. If it does, then your bible also lays down a number of other rules in, I seem to recall, the same general place. Christians have traditionally interpreted Acts 10:28 to mean that those rules were suspended as part of the new deal with God. Any persecution of homosexuals was more clearly rationalized using other arguments. In Europe, those tended to be "they're not married," "shit on a penis is icky," or the ever popular favorite, "all these homosexuals keep sucking my dick!"
I don't believe that there is as large a large body of argument against hot women getting it on together, which strengthens my position on this.
Now, me, I don't so much believe in god, but a book is a different thing entirely. I don't have to believe in books; I can read them. I don't have to believe in people; I can argue with them. The nice thing about theological debate is that, for some reason, the debates tend to be repeated often enough to be recorded. Remind me to look some of these up for you. It's fun because most of them are about pork.
Mmmmmm. Pork.
Anyway, hypocrisy knows no bounds, a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds, and religious debate seems a bit like mutual masturbation without a payoff.
Tell your pagan friends to stop insulting Christians. That's my job, and I'm not going to give it up without a fight. I'm telling you God wants me on that wall. God needs me on that wall.
