Leviticus, 18:22:

'You shall not lie with a man as with a woman; such a thing is an abomination. . .'

Leviticus, 20:13:

'If a man lies with a man as with a woman, both of them will be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forefeited their lives.

For the record, it's misrepresentation and misinterpretation of these quotes that leads people to believe their acts are justified. Yes, the Bible does say homosexuality is wrong -- kind of. For one thing, nothing is mentioned about lesbianism, so, ladies, you're free.

Most important to note is the true reason this is included in the Bible: as with so many other things, it's purely plpolitical, or at least resounding theory says so.

Basically, pagan practice involved the worship of goddesses by re-enacting important scenes in their lives. This re-enactment was carried out, of course, by males. And included re-enactment of conception.

So, in an effort to halt pagan rituals, sodimy between males was outlawed.

Conclusion: Yutz is still a bloody fool.
