Serious question to the fundamentalists.
You quote Leviticus as it relates to homosexuality, and say we should interpret the verses literally.
However, when Leviticus says that a woman shouldn't enter the church during her menstrual period, or that you shouldn't wear a cloth of more than one fibers, or that you shouldn't eat certain meats...the fundies say this is no longer to be interpreted literal.
So, how do you pick and choose?
Some will say not to pay attention to the old testament, that the old was abolished by Jesus, blah, blah blah.
But even in the New Testament...again, you will point at what the Apostle Paul writes in Corinthians about homosexuality and say to follow that literally...but, when he talks about the subjective role of women, that they shouldn't speak at church...you say, we should not interpret that literally.
It seems you select the "sins" that don't affect you as literal...and explain away the others.
