Lines: 16 (followup to Charley Wingate's message) Wingate says the Bible is clear (in prohibiting homosexual behavior for Christians). OH YEAH?? In a (hopefully) few days I'll post a summary of analyses of Biblical texts (those listed by Don Caprio in his fairly recent posting) that traditionally (actually, mainly in the 20th century) have been con- strued to justify Christian homophobia: the analyses are John Boswell's as they appear in his book CHRISTIANITY, SOCIAL TOLERANCE & HOMOSEX- UALITY. Complacent & homophobic Christians, watch out!!! See you in a few days! Cheers, Ron Rizzo
