This has gone so far as to lead some very radical rightwing Christians to deny human rights to gay people, and even led some to say that gay people deserve death or worse. Actually, the artical seems to have been written to show that at least some of these references probabally do not mean anything of the sort. If you know of many other verses, send them out to the net, so that others will have the oppurtunity to debunk them also. As a Christian, you are limited to using the New Testement (unless you are one of those rare Christians who follows the whole of the Law). Otherwise, come on down to your local MCC and then tell us that gays cannot be Christians. Sincerely, Richard A. Brower
