When sodomy, adultery, fornication, unwed pregnancies etc... where stigmatized and in certain instances, declared illegal, society did not have rampant STDs, broken homes, Trillion dollar budget deficits, established slippery slopes where now men getting their penis chopped up and replace by a nu-vagina is being celebrated now, and degenerates (WHICH YOU SUPPORT INDIRECTLY BY THIS) are calling for the age of consent to be lowered in some cases at 8 years old.
You see, a lot of what two consenting adults do in “privacy of their homes” has a tendency to disrupt the social order and often lead to picking the pockets of the tax payer along with debt schemes that punish future generations.
If we look at what the Old Testament actually did (the penalty was steep for going past a line, but that line definitely was at a closet door) we can start to see wisdom. If it’s completely either-or, as you have have formulated, then we open up to secular liberals getting their way.
Sorry, not buying what you say. Aberrant sexual behavior went on just as much before as now. It was simply hidden and ignored.
