    Let's expose premises of hate.

    I offer an interpretation. These words are symbols. Symbols access the causes of the mind, or their precepts. They are not meant to delineate a dogma, but to demonstrate the effects in the self, of the selected premise.

    Jesus made one reference to sexual preference, although in the form it takes it is not immediately recognizable and this because it is the recall of the people who heard it.

    That reference was in regard to the disposition of eunuchs. If you accept the premise of this statement as I describe, then we understand that not everyone can live with the same preferences. Then their preferences are not a cause for you to reject them.

    The reference to men lying with other men is not a sexual reference, it is about disproportionate devotion to other men. If you accept the premise that this statement is a sexual reference, then a man or a woman's actions become the measure of them to you and you see them as unworthy. If you accept the premise that the statement refers to inappropriate devotion to other men, then you would not have Hitler.

    It doesn't just happen, it is the result of a precept of men.

    The Messiah seems to have had a thing for anyone humanity hated. His disciples included illiterate fishermen, terrorists, tax collectors, prostitutes, and murderers - those were his close, personal friends. Sure if he was around today homosexuals would be in his entourage.

    People are disappointing in general. I truly sympathize with the aliens. >_>

    if i can find the article, i'd post it, but pretty much when i came out to my family, my grandma, being very religious, was taken back a lil but her pastor actually helped her by handing her the article that contains the six quotes people can refer to homosexuality in the bible (even though a few are pretty vague, like usual in the bible), and how they can simply be interpreted wrongly or just differently.
