I'm not saying Leonardo was an evil person or had no morals! I don't understand what kind of box you're trying to place me in.

The Codex, the book Leonardo wrote in code that had the designs for his various inventions.

I have great respect for his intellect and his artistic ability. I'm just saying he wasn't perfect, and the fact that he succumbed to his perverted desires for same sex sodomy a bad character flaw, and proves that he didn't know more about human nature than I do.

I can think of worse character flaws a person might have, like arrogance.

What the ?????

Your "answers" to my questions (and you didn't answer the other two) do not make a particle of sense.

Arrogance is worse than same sex sodomy? Well, it all depends on how the arrogance is displayed and acted upon. Actually, even then, same sex sodomy trumps arrogance as a character defect. It is an act, whereas arrogance is a state of mind, and often a person who is striving to be a better person will not act or speak out of arrogance, even if they percieve it in their own heart. In other words, it can be conquered. But to act on a sinful or immoral desire is much worse. No doubt, arrogance can be the seed which sprouts into all manner of evil acts. But it can't be compared with the act of sodomy, you're comparing a deed with a state of mind.

BTW, if you can't/don't answer my other questions, there's no point in any more responding to you.
