A quote taken from a book called Free Your Mind:
"There are 342 admonishments against heterosexuals in the Bible. There are atleast 3 against homosexuals. It doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals, it just means they need more guidance!"

I think it's cute! The other people are taking it too seriously. As a light, fluffy piece of humor, it rates high for me.

>the bible's been misinterpreted many times. Most people, even priests and scholars, are unaware that the passages about homosexuality have been either misinterpreted or misunderstood.
The story of Sodom and Gomorrah? That's a warning against rape and inhospitality. The reason for Sodom's destruction is made clear in Ezekiel 16:48-50. According to Ezekiel, the sins of Sodom were pride, laziness, being inhospitable, neglecting the needs of the poor, greed, and idolatry (the worshipping of idols). Nothing about homosexuality is mentioned.
Leviticus? Those passages were part of the Holiness Code which has been done away with and is no longer binding to modern-day Christians.
1 Corinthians? Mistranslation - the word malakee in this passage is used elsewhere in the Bible to mean someone who lacks discipline or one who is morally weak, and never is it used in reference to sexuality or gender.
1 Timothy? Also a mistranslation. 1 Timothy was an admonishment against male prostitution, not committed, loving same sex relationships.
Romans? In the passage the Greek words physin and paraphysin have been translated to mean natural and unnatural respectively. Contrary to popular belief, the word paraphysin does not mean "to go against the laws of nature", but rather implies action which is uncharacteristic for that particular person. An example of the word paraphysin is used in Romans 11:24, where God acts in an uncharacteristic (paraphysin) way to accept the Gentiles. When the scripture is understood correctly, it seems to imply that it would be unnatural for a homosexual to live as a heterosexual and vice versa.
being strait can be a sin too. how? strait men and women think about the oposite sex sexually. it states in the bible, 'if you think it, you might as well have done it.'

There are admonishments about everything in the Bible!!! Just do as I do, and ignore all of them. I mean, most righteous, preachy types pick and choose the ones they want to follow, so why can't we?

Yes i think its very funny. I cant understand on how they can be very blinded from the truth sometimes lol. don't you think they only pick out stuff from the bible that they can apply to their lives? and the rest they use on others to make themselves feel superior

It's not funny and it's not true. The 342 apply to homosexuals also.

Funny? depends on how you look at it. Most likely their were only three against homos is because once people found out they were homo they didn't live long enough to do much.
