We should put adulterers and homos and others in jail.

Per Mosaic law, for a man to sleep with another man's wife was punishable by death for both; likewise for a man who slept with another man 'as with a woman'. The idea that such acts should be punished severely is hardly a new one (the idea of applying punishments to married men who sleep with unmarried women, or to women who sleep with each other, is probably somewhat newer).

I forget which article of the constitution contains the Mosaic law? Isn't that in the same book where you could sell the women folk in the family into slavery of kill them if they got out of line. Please, stop.
