The book of Hebrews had some interesting things to say about Sodom and Gomorrah and why they were doomed. Homosexuality was not mentioned even once. However there was quite a lot about inhospitality to strangers and failure to care for the poor among them.

"Our law should reflect the highest standards NOT the least common denominator."
Yet you fundies support "leaders" like Sarah Palin, George Bush and Michelle Bachman.
"Sodom and Gomorrah ring a bell?"
Yes. They were destroyed because of lack of hospitality (keep the mud people out of our white country) and failure to stengthen the poor (if those babies want to eat let them get off thier lazy asses and get a job).
If god doesn't destroy America he will have to apologise to Sodom and Gomorrah.

Do not include me in your "let's let God sort it out!" cr*p.
I'm pretty sure it says in the bible that God alone will judge (Vengence is mine sayeth the Lord, judge not lest ye be judged), so if you call this crap you're a blasphemer.

Except for the fact, that you know, homosexuality IS normal and gays have served in our armed forces for years. But don't let that stop your raving...

"Sodom and Gomorrah ring a bell?"
Why yes, yes it does. It's a little tale from your book of fiction.
But, assuming for a millisecond that this myth is true (and up is down, black is white and Santa and the Easter Bunny have done it and had bearded bunny babies[try saying that fast three times]). It proves the point of the first poster, namely: Bible-god dealt with it, not people. And he hasn't seen fit to do the same to San Francisco, even though it is on a major fault line, or any other "gay cities."

"Sodom and Gomorrah"? Seriously?
Hey, dunce-cap, just because it is called "sodomy" in today's vernacular doesn't mean it has anything to do with the city!
Oh wait, I forgot, you don't read your own Bible for fear of developing independent thought that may question the Glorious Leader. My bad.

I often wonder which "god's law" they're whittering about: that of the OT (blood, revenge, massacre, no shrimp), or that as mediated (i.e. pik'n'mix to suit themslevs) through JC?
If it's that of the OT, then a general blood letting is in order. Let's start with the twice married/once divorced.

You guys are always so up in arms about homosexuality. But here's an odd thing. God felt that 10 things were so important, he magicked up some stones with these things carved into them so that Moses could read about the things he really, really didn't want humans to do. Not one of those things says "do not engage in sexual activity with a person of the same gender". It's not even implied. On the other hand, God quite prominently mentions keeping the Sabbath. I have heard that sometimes troops engage the enemy on Sundays. How do Freepers feel about that?

Stupid git! Since when is adultery illegal anywhere, outside Saudi Arabia and Iran?
You're right, all sins should be treated equally; as the outdated things they are.
How can you go on about Natural Law and then call homosexuality bad and abnormal? Homosexuality can be found in most animals in nature.
As far as I know, homosexual sex is just as legal in the military as heterosexual sex. I'd guess neither is promoted, but can be condoned.
Sodom and Gomorrah was about inhospitableness, and the "good guy" offered up his daughters as rape victims for the angry mob. Ring a bell?

"Our law should reflect the highest standards NOT the least common denominator. Our laws to be legitimate should reflect and uphold our morality and the natural law -the law of God. A nation under God founded upon the principles of natural law and unalienable rights endowed by the Creator DOES NOT spit in the face of God by calling homosexual sex good and normal. An individual and for that matter a nation does not believe in God and defy Him."
Well...it's a damn good thing we are a secular nation then. Right DBeers?

Natural law =/= your specicif translation and idea of the bible verse you choose to follow.
Sorry. If you want natural law, then read a science book.
Oh yeah..phuck off! You defy your god with every bible verse you disagree with, or try to apologize into existence.
Let me guess, I could hold the bible right in your face and show you the verse "Thou shalt not kill".. and you will say "no no, it is thou shalt not murder."

"Make no mistake --this is all about legalizing homosexual sex in the military and as well it is about placing those who have no moral compass nor respect for God in charge of defending that which they consider irrelevant..."
Sex in the military isn't accepted whether the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy is removed or not. Judging by the latest scandals; I would be more worried about politicians tapping their feet in airport washrooms while waving a Bible than a few homosexuals killing America's enemies.

"adultery is and will still be illegal in the military after this homosexual sex is okay law if it passes -where is your morally spineless outrage since according to your reasoning it is not fair that some sins are treated differently."
1. Adultery is not illegal in the military unless it has a direct effect on morale or is found to reflect badly on the character of the armed forces.
2. The law isn't about sex. It's talking about sex, if anything. All it says is that you're allowed to mention your orientation, be ye straight, gay, or bi, without being kicked out of duty.
Of course, who cares about facts when this person doesn't even care about the Biblical facts?

So when I'm elected POTUS on my Logan's Run platform, you'll agree to submit to Carousel when you hit 30?

Your government is secular, and there are laws/the U.S constitution stating that there is freedom of religion(and therefore freedom from religion as well). Your 'god' does not take part in your country's system of government. It is founded upon human rights and secular law, not 'god's laws'.

Homosexuality doesn't.

Our government is founded on the consent of the governed. Further, there is no such thing as God, and no such thing as natural law. And yes, Sodom and Gomorrah rings a bell. If you read the fable you'll see that it has nothing to do with homosexuality.

Oh yea! I remember. The only good guy in one of these cities was called Lot and told a mob to rape his daughters instead of two angels.

It's a good thing he censored himself. Because, you know, the word "crap" (pardon my language!) is way more offensive than something as small as ignorant hatred of one's fellow human beings.
