re: #127 Obdicut

Meh, the translation of that bit is kind of in question. If I’m thinking of the right part.

There are several passages, not just one part. Regardless of intent (which makes no difference to me, personally) it is inarguable that persecution of gay people based on biblical interpretation has been a feature of Christianity for all of its known history.

And since people do take the doctrine of biblical inerrancy (somewhat) seriously, it is a pretty tough situation. I would say organizations like the FRC become inevitable.

On a lighter note, here is (probably) the most hilarious translation ambiguity in the history of the Bible: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_%28Michelangelo%29

In medieval times, Moses was depicted with horns, due to an ambiguous phrase that described his face on delivery of the 10 commandments.
