Pope says: Bless that same sex! Apparently God was wrong, according to the pope, for warning against sodomy. If Catholics could go back in time.... While visiting Sodom to bless anal sex, they would also perish as fire and brimstone rained down out of heaven. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.

Sodom and Gomorrah was not destroyed because of anal sex. They were destroyed because they were violent, lawless hell-holes where the men felt that they could break the laws of hospitality with impunity.

I wouldn't take the story of Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah too seriously as a guide to morality. Remember that Lot, supposedly the one moral person in the two cities, offered his daughters to the mob to be raped.

He offered her because that was the lesser of two evils, that's how bad homosexuality is.

The sex of the angels is much more incidental than it might appear. If Lot's guests were women, and a mob gathered wanting to rape them, you wouldn't conclude that the problem is heterosexuality.

It's much less about homosexual sex, and much more about hospitality.

Lot (and for that matter the old man of Gibeah, in the very similar story in Judges 15), was protecting his guests by offering his own property in their place. The Salient fact to the authors is that by offering his daughters, Lot will lose their bride price as they would be unmarriageable if they have been violated. It's not that the violation of women is fine and the violation of men isn't.

No, he offered up his daughter to be raped because the so-called morality of the Bible is evil, and anyone who thinks that a Supreme Creator of the entire universe, who is as far beyond us as we are beyond a mite on the leg of a flea, gives a shit about what sort of consensual sex adults have in the privacy of their bedroom, is off their rocker.

The problem with religion is that every single word of it is written by ignorant people with issues who conveniently discover that god shares their emotional hangups. Mohammad was obsessive-compulsive, and lo and behold, it turns out that god cares about what direction you pray and which foot you step into the bathroom (toilet) with. The ancient Hebrew prophets were a bunch of uptight misogynists and raging homophobes, and just like magic, it turns out that god also is an uptight, woman-hating, violent homophobe.

If god really was against homosexual relations, why does virtually every single species of mammal have homo sex?

Animals also rape, so does that make rape ok now? What kind of dumbass looks at animal behaviour for moral guidance? This is why god commanded humanity to murder you fags.

According to the Bible, rape is fine. Notice that none of the Ten Commandments say "Thou Shalt Not Rape". Lot, the one righteous man in Sodom, offered to send his virgin unmarried girl children out to be raped by a mob, and god was fine with this. So when god rained fire and destruction over the city, killing hundreds or thousands of unborn children and innocent babies, Lot was saved.

When god told the Israelites to mass murder everyone in sight across the Promised Land, Moses told them they could keep the young virgin girls as sex slaves, and this too was fine.

In Judges 19–21, a Levite handed his concubine over to a mob of Benjamites, who raped the woman to death. The raping was fine, but the fact that she died was not, so the other 11 Hebrew tribes decided to wipe out the Benjamites as punishment. When there were only 600 male Benjamites left (the women and children presumably being dead by then), they felt remorse over almost wiping out the entire tribe, so they pillaged and massacred the city of Jabesh-Gilead, none of whose residents partook in the war, and kidnapped 400 young girls as wives for the Benjamites. The remaining 200 Benjamites still lacking women were then permitted to kidnap young girls from Shiloh, and god was all good with this.

Morality in the Bible is some really fucked up shit. Getting your ideas of what is moral and what isn't moral from the violent, hateful desert tribesmen who wrote it is not such a good idea.

So you quote a tiny part of the bible and then completely make up a bullshit explanation for what you quote. That's no different than putting a fake description to a photograph to create outrage. No, the bible does not condone rape.

Tell me you've never read the bible without telling me you've never read the bible. You're so ignorant about the Bible you actually think I made these up 😃

I'm sorry that the actual Bible doesn't match up to the imaginary "Little Golden Book Bible For Tiny Tots" in your head. You should read the Bible sometimes. You might learn something.

Why don't the Ten Commandments, both versions of it, include a prohibition against rape?

Why doesn't the Bible condemn the Levite who handed over his concubine to be raped? Why weren't the Levites punished for kidnapping 400 young virgins from Jabesh-Gilead? Why weren't the Benjamites punished for kidnapping 200 young virgins from Shiloh?

"They might have kidnapped them, but they didn't rape them. They wooed them with flowers and chocolates and candle-lit dinners and midnight walks along the beach until the girls fell in love before having sex with them" 🙄

Why was Lot considered a righteous man even though he tried to hand his virgin daughters over to a mob to be raped? Imagine being one of his daughters: "Dad, you said they could do what to us???"

Why wasn't Moses and Israel punished for kidnapping and raping young virgin girls from the tribes they massacred?
