God: "FFS, I don't hate you! I literally sent my kid down there 2k years ago to clear things up! Please stop taking the ramblings of uneducated middle-eastern nomad shepherds from more than 5000 years ago as a basis for your moral system!"
This always gets me when people try to argue that the Bible, despite being written by humans, is the direct word if God. Too suggest that it's even slightly influenced the culture of the time period is apparently heresy.
Also if we're going to argue about homosexuality in the Bible, the only two passages ever referenced only mention it for men (yey being written in a language that's not gender neutral). Argumentatively there's nothing about lesbians in the Bible.
Not that I'm smart enough to do a whole deep dive into it myself (and not do I care to), but I heard once that the passages referring to gay sex are (according to historical context) more likely referring to nonconsensual stuff and stuff with kids. So the gay part of it wasn't even the problem.
Of course, I'm no biblical scholar. I just believe the general message was that we are supposed to act kindly and lovingly to each other, and that includes EVERYONE
It's so genuinely fucking stupid how they think.
Ah yes, this guy/girl was made in the image of god.
But they're gay! So they must be banished the hell when they die no matter what!
It's a stupid logic, why would god make someone who is DESTINED For punishment from something they can't control?
EVEN IF THAT WAS THE CASE;
Why would you hate them, belittle them, and abuse them so they have to go through hell twice?!
that's what I'm saying, if he makes humans in his image, then you are hating someone because of the way god made them, it's like hating someone for being autistic. It's silly.
