Mind you, I'm not saying bring the death penalty back for this but the Bible is quite clear what will happen to those who continue such actions.

I have no problem with the observation on Biblical injunction in itself - the Bible is fairly clear.

I have a HUGE problem with the suggestion that Biblical law should be some closely-followed source of rules for a modern, pluralistic, non-theocratic society. Especially when one says that gays should be killed simply for their sexual proclivities. That's just plain nuts.

I was just pointing out that the men who founded this nation believed it did deserve the death penalty and apparently was carried out more than once. And that, at least according to the moderate Republicans and left, was a non-theocratic society

However I will state I do not believe in bringing back the death penalty for such a crime. I do however believe in the laws as my state of North Carolina changed them to and required a sentence of 20-60 years for such a crime. This was in effect until just after the War.
