Homosexual acts (sodomy) are one of the four sins that cry out the heaven for vengeance, a list which the Church teaches!
Vlad is right. You do exhibit an "almost constant beating of a single drum beat about biblical literalism in thread after thread after thread after thread after thread after thread." And, given your pattern of behavior, you know what's going to end up happening? You're going to end up regretting all of this.
You desperately need to break yourself free of this pattern you've caught yourself in.
That's funny. I hear/read a lot more attacks on "Biblical literalism" from Catholic circles than I do on homosexuality. In fact, the Catholic Church has a certain compassion for homosexuals--an attitude never shown to Biblical Fundamentalists.

Well, this is a conservative forum, is it not? Is defense of the Bible from its critics not a legitimate position to take on a conservative forum? After all, you just called it a "Catholic book," and now you dismiss it as unworthy of attention.

I have never regretted defending the Word of G-d--especially from hypocrites who believe in every medieval miracle tale known to man but who suddenly become Ivy League skeptics when the Bible is an object of discussion.

I think you're awfully hung up on this J*sus fellow. Why don't you give up your fixation?
