Vampyre: If you were or are hoping that the Bible, God's Word, is politically-correct, you have some thinking to do! The world can embrace what it wants, I'll stick by God's Word. At the end of the day, since you profess to be a Christian, who do you really aim to please? God? Or man? Yes, the Bible can be misused, especially and only when it's misquoted out of context. This is not the case in this issue. Homosexuality is an abomination to God (which incidentally is a more severe word than just sin). Isaiah´s last blog post: Barbarians at the Gate!

“Christians failed to point out, that Section 377A in particular is not a homosexual specific law, but would also target heterosexuals performing those acts ”

Please get your facts right. Section 377A specifically mentions consensual homosexual sex. Consensual heterosexual anal sex is not mentioned in section 377A. It is this inequality in consesual acts that is the issue. You make the logical fallacy of lumping consensual sex together with non consensual acts.

Another error in your arguments is that you try to equate promiscuity with homosexual sex by mentioning them in the same paragraph. Why even bother to mention promiscuity? I know of cases of monogamous homosexual relationships. It just clouds the issue and it is a total non sequitor in logic. We may agree to disagree but please back up your arguments with more logical rigour in your discourse.

Heh Isaiah. Just think for a moment what that verse means to us gay people. And what more, as gay Christians? You think you’re the downtrodden now? Not so long ago the tables were against us gay people. The world will change. Christianity has to decide if it wants to rethink its doctrine, which i don’t think is improssible, or will it continue to shoot itself in its own foot?

Christianity is fighting a losing battle here really. The world will eventually come to embrace sexuality as it has with women’s suffrage and the abolishing of slavery. The Bible can be quoted to justify almost anything. Be very very careful with it.

All I'll do is quote one verse, as I believe Jesus has amply warned us: "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you."
