Think it through - a government that can kill you for aberrant sex can decide that sex can only be consummated in the missionary position...

The founders had no problem with capital punishment for sodomite offenders.

Sodomite offenses are not in the same class as God honored relations between husbands and wives. (The marriage bed is undefiled).

I'm also all for reinstituting the death penalty for adultery. We wink at God's created *ORDER* and instead celebrate disorder. When we reap the inevitable consequences, we wonder why and refuse to accept the only workable corrections given by God himself (Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:27-32).

Thomas Jefferson argued for cutting the privates off an offender instead of death.

Sure am glad you're not one of our "rulers" - Playing God isn't one of their jobs....If one is willing to kill others for not following their own moral codes then that one is no different than the little dictator in Korea or a Stalin or even a Hitler.

But, those "supreme moralists" also tend to believe they are w/o sin and forget that in the Old testament, even the "smallest" sin was grounds for eternity in Hell. Steal a handful of grain - Hell - think unwholesome thoughts when looking at the wife down the street - Hell.

Funny how such as you are willing to ameliorate your own sins because the sins of others are "worse than that".....
