re: #4 Obdicut

Before Judaism is a very small time period of recorded history. I don’t think that’s what you mean.

Before the Abrahamic religions became codified.

I do recall that there was homosexual practices in temples (sex as religion or holy prostitution) as part of the religion of the region before the Abrahamic religion started to take hold.

My favorite story from the Bible is the story where the “High Priest Hilkiah” discovered the long lost “Bible” that no one ever heard of before hidden/forgotten in the temple and told the king (Josiah) this and then he went about destroying the old religion in favor of the new monotheistic religion that he and no one else ever heard of before but was now the law of the land.

It is my belief that since homosexual sexual acts were part of the old religion that was being stamped out, the new religion that came to be (Judaism) was against it (just like aspects of kosher having to do with milk and meat came about as an avoidence of a pagan ceremony of boiling a young goat in its mother’s milk and thus to be avoided as a pagan practice).
