The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Amusingly, that means lesbianism is not forbidden.

Tell me the bible wasn't written by men! ;-)


There is something about women exchanging natural relations for unnatural ones, interpreted to be lesbianism. That's in the NT (Romans 1, IIRC).

....

This sort of thing bothers me:

hrc.org - What does the bible say about homosexuality
At the heart of the claim that the Bible is clear "that homosexuality is forbidden by God" is poor biblical scholarship and a cultural bias read into the Bible.

None of us, even the most fundamentalist of Christians, get our complete view of morality from ancient texts. It's far more complicated than that. Liberal folks should stop twisting themselves like a pretzel trying to make the Bible say what it don't. Sure, it doesn't say "homosexuality is forbidden by God". There's no concept of homosexuality in the Bible. It does condemn homosexual acts, along with a whole lot of other stuff we don't worry about today.
