You’re such a pooooor victim of someone with Christian knowledge, standards and morals. How dare they “judge” aggressive queers debasing the Bible in public schools and warn about what happened to Sodom!

I'm not understanding. I'm a victim? I'm not a victim. Who said I'm a victim? You can judge and get fired up about anything you want. I get it, you feel as though the country is doomed. And if this is your criteria, it is. (I believe it is too, but for entirely different reasons than a tiny little charter school in MA putting on some silly play for 3 days.)Anyway, since you're hung up on it, can you or one of the other bible scholars here give me the chapter and verse that condemns Sodom for being too gay?

And no, "anasim" is not gay. My favorite part of the whole Sodom thing is that one of the main reasons God decided to torch the place (beyond their inhospitality) was that they were fat and lazy. Ezekiel 16:49-50

LOL. I can't really think of a fatter lazier place than America today. Oh wait! Maybe you ARE on to something here!

OK, your reply made me chuckle. I do have to give you credit for admitting that you are purposely pushing certain buttons.

Have a good weekend.

Genesis? Are they going to make the Garden of Eden with “Adam and Steve” instead? And exactly how do they go about obeying Genesis 1:28-

“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

The Bible tells us of the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah. Though homosexuality was not the only vice of these cities, the Bible makes it clear that this sin was one of the main reasons why God judged them. Genesis 19:1-11 speaks of the men of Sodom gathering at Lot's house and calling out to Lot, saying, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with" (Genesis 19:5). Lot's two visitors were actually angels who manifested themselves as men. Lot's carnal attempt to rescue his visitors was his offer to provide the men of Sodom with his two virgin daughters (Genesis 19:8). But, the men of Sodom rejected Lot's offer. Finally, the angels miraculously struck the immoral men with blindness (Genesis 19:11). Jude, commenting on the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, wrote, "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example, in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire" (Jude 7)
