Milo Yiannopoulis, provocative member of the alt-right and outspoken critic of feminism, Islam and political correctness, is current on a college speaking tour in the USA.
Enjoying some recent financial success, Milo upgraded his ride to a highly customized luxury bus that he permits you to tour in his latest video.

If you cannot show comparable wrath of God, how can you say they are comparable?
You have to go back about, what, 5,000 years for your most recent example of God's punishment? against gays Also, if you read the story, you'd know that the reason God destroyed Sodom and Gommorah was a little more subtle, and less cut and dried than what you're characterizing.
More subtle than trying to rape two Angels? I'm sure it wasn't that one incident, but instead was the consequence of an entire history of similar incidents.
We see the same sort of behavior in the attempted Homosexual rape leading up to the Battle of Gibeah.
I take from these disparate examples that this is the usual behavior of homosexuals when they attain a critical mass percentage within a population.
In any event, no such "punishments" occurred in the New Testament. Last time I checked, THAT'S the Covenant we're operating under.
The New Testament did not repeal the old.
The Judaic law proscribed the death penalty for adultery too, didn't it?
Don't look now, but the terminology which has been translated into English as the word "Adultery", means any sex outside of the confines of marriage, and in the context of the time and language in which it is written, applies to homosexuality.
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
And there it is, the go-to rationalization for tolerating the entire spectrum of illicit behavior. It is in fact a form of fallacy argument that we now know of as "Tu quoque."
I think the historically ubiquitous aversion to tolerating homosexuality has more to do with survival than it does with any concern about "sinning."
You may not have noticed, but they have a tendency to spread dangerous diseases, turn traitor, molest boys, and kill people, including themselves, most often by suicide.
They are not healthy people, either mentally or physically.
So Christ specialized in go-to rationalizations? Got it.
Christ saw the situation as a teaching moment.
One would do well to learn from it...
What should we learn from it other than that nobody should ever be punished for anything?
Hard to see how you keep a society functional with that sort of system.
You're being hysterical.
In a Free country, people should only be punished for infringing on others' rights via force and fraud. All all else is arbitrary law, and ultimately the gateway to Tyranny.
In any event, as for Sodom & Gomorrah: after just now re-reading all the Biblical material relating to that incident, it's abundantly clear that the cities were not destroyed merely for practicing the sin of homosexuality.
Indeed, in Ezekiel 16:48-50, God compares Jerusalem to Sodom, saying "Sodom never did what you and your daughters have done." He explains that the sin of Sodom was that "She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me."
So much for the "God destroyed them because they were fags" canard.
Vote Trump!
The feelings-uber-alles people who like to throw the cast-the-first-stone passage always invoke the mercy and forgiveness aspect of it, but never the ‘go forth and sin no more’ repentance part.
Sinning no more and repentance are just too inconvenient for their feelings-uber-alles enslavement.
Nonsense. It simply goes without saying.
‘Go forth and sin no more’ is an admonition. There's very little likelihood that any human being ever lives up to it, unless they happen to accidentally step in front of a bus the moment after they hear it.
"feelings-uber-alles"? How quaint.
Vote Trump!
People who argue in favor of the supremacy of feelings hate Jesus’ call to sin no more and repentance, so they are quick to dismiss it.
And they feel it’s quaint when people point out their preference for feelings above reason and self-control.
So much feeling.
So much feeling.
:)
Maybe they do. I wouldn't know.
I certainly don't "hate Jesus’ call to sin no more and repentance".
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
People who hate to judge are politically and emotionally correct.
So are people who love to judge, I guess.
Vote Trump!
When those who claim to be non-judgemental (let’s call ‘em NJs) denounce others to be judgemental (let’s call ‘em Os for others), the NJs must judge whether the Os are judgemental.
And of course, the NJs want to judge the Os as judgemental.
So they do.
Thus the NJs become judgemental themselves, falling into hypocrisy, and more than likely, they will be in denial about it.
It usually unveils mentally unhealthy NJs.
And why feel desperate? That’s crazy. Trump is doing well.
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
All have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.
We must always be careful regarding the mote in our brother's eye, when we may have a beam in our own eye.
Sin is sin, and the wages of all sin is death.
Trying to divide or "rank" people based on their category of sin is something I don't see in the New Testament.
Each person's relationship with the Savior, gay or straight, alcoholic or smoker, fat or skinny, fornicator or adulterer, is a personal thing.
Since we all have sinned, standing in judgement over others, whose sins may differ from our own, means little.
Christ's forgiveness is for everyone who seeks it...
Vote Trump!
Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Jesus leaves it open for people to judge if they don’t mind being judged in return or if they do not commit the sin that they are judging.
And all have sinned, but Jesus does not want you to celebrate and promote sin.
Homos and their hetero cheerleaders celebrate and promote sin.
I refuted a few questions about nasty things that Trump has said. And I mentioned a few things about Hillary's Clinton Foundation, and she immediately said, "Oh, I don't like Hillary either".
But then she said something that struck me. She said, "I never actually met a single person who admitted to being a Trump supporter."
Now I think this shows how insulted young people are from the world around them. The media has totally dominated their field of political knowledge.
So a few Milos and others needed to simply break the ice a bit among millennials and Gen-Xers.
And looking into my own nature, I was never able to rationally explain why I found women so damn attractive!
And having a couple of outwardly gay people in my family, I've had to deal with this issue personally -- which I suspect millions of American families are dealing with.
The biggest trouble happens when people put their life style preferences above America itself.
You can't be gay first. You can't be Sharia law first. You should be American first -- do things to promote the common wealth and good will of the society around you.
And in doing so, your right and ability to do your own thing is strengthened I think.
The motto of my alma mater was "God, Country, Notre Dame". And that order seems to make sense.
Oh yeah! HIM!, he who has a fascination of sharply creased trousers :-) Truly, a legend in his own mind.
This is simply not true! As has been stated, he dislikes feminists not all women. I worked in an industry that had many gay men (airlines) and they ALL had very close friends that were women.
No, the creased-trousers guy is David Brooks of the New York Times. I think he’s just metrosexual, not homosexual.
