At the time the Bible was written, lifestyles and civilization were different. In the ;ast 100 years or so, beliefs and civilization in general have changed. Homosexuality has become mainstream and acceptable.
There was plenty more, but that is the crux of it.
Excuse me. First off, the Bible is not the word of man, but the word of God. By saying what he said, he infers that God was wrong!! Not likely.
Secondly, this statement also infers that homosexuality was not widely known (or accepted) during all the generations that the Bible was written. Now it is. Again, a blatant falsehood. The reason it is mentioned in the Bible is precisely because man was involved in homosexuality back then and it was WRONG!! Now, history is just repeating itself.
The second coming is close at hand.
Welcome to the Episcopal cult!!
To me, that is the crux of the entire debate. Is our faith defined by Biblical teaching or is our faith defined by modern culture, which the left claims is more enlightened or evolved than the "old" faith and values. This isn't just about homosexuality, but the very heart of the faith, because the same people who say the Bible can be ignored if it contradicts modern teaching also often believe (if you can get them to admit it) that Jesus is not the son of God but was just a really good guy we can learn a lot from.

At the time the bible was written, a man's anus was for poopin' and it still is now.
