Or do we simply accuse them of committing an abomination and leave it at that? Or do we just leave the judgment and punishment up to God?
Leviticus really confuses me. Which abomination is worse: eating shellfish or sodomizing your neighbor? Or wait, aren't all sins equal in the eyes of the Lord?

To D'oh a Beer: Oh, I'm so sorry. You apparently are incapable of detecting sarcasm when you hear it, or irony for that matter. Of course I don't think we should burn shrimp-eaters! Or kids either for that matter. Not even homosexuals, believe it or not. I'm simply pointing out that the hate-mongers who are constantly attacking homosexuals are not on the most stable of footing, especially if they use the Bible to rationalize their homophobia. Perhaps you've been smoking too meed Weedies lately to figure out that this is social criticism not to be taken as a literal proposition.

Why yes of course we kill the shrimp eater the homosexuals and beat our children so they know we love them. Nothing says love like a good old fashioned beating. And yes if your brother dies the other brother does have to marry her so his name won't be put out of Israel and no we can't wear clothes that are of two different matierals and yes it's okay for you to go buy yourself a person or two.
Now wait till you hear the laws concerning menstrual cycles and how to cure leprosy with two turtle doves.
By the way unpastureised milk good-pork bad. Oh and Jesus who was a JEW who was without sin (supposedly) is to be the example to the world kept all of these commandments (supposidly)
So pick up your cross and follow him but not on sabbath. No not then. Cross picking up and following is a Sunday through Friday thing.
Leviticus and Romans both agree that homosexuality -bad - Having multiple wives good , but not for a Bishop then it's bad. Better to be single but 10 or 20 wives is fine for non clergy.
Oh and you women remember to keep sielent in church and not ursurp the authority of a man. I told my wife that one and she decided to show me how much she loves me by hitting me with the bible I was reading from.
To discover how much God loved Job read his old testament horror story of depresion and anxiety.
Oh and you older women who are widowed go out and get married again as quick as you can you wouldn't want to become a gossip.
the word of the Lord ............I think I will stick to the pre Christian religion that existed in Scotland before all this crap got wholesaled to the world - opps now you have to kill me too ahhh "thou shalt not inquire as to other gods (no I can't remember the scripture - if it's that important to you get a concordance out.

I get lost on that, too, which ones we pick and choose for these days and times. It seems like it should be all or nothing. How about the one that says your wife is supposed to live in a separate house during her moon time?

Truthfully... Even though we all have our opinions about everybody and the sins they commit. There is no one on earth without sin. And yes God is the only one who can judge us. We were not actually put here to judge, even though we do.

Equal.
Christians pick, choose, and rationalize.
