"Leviticus and Homosexuality"

That's amusing....when it's not politically correct, Leviticus becomes instruction only for clergy.... However, I don't think the Religious Right sees it that way...I've heard Falwell often enough...

re: Cain and Moses.....Jesus wasn't around when Cain was supposed to have lived....was Moses? Do you believe there was such a person as Cain? He would have had to come from Central Africa you know....

<<Also with regard to capital punishment, I think it is worth noting that Cain and Moses were both murderers and neither was struck down.>>

I always found it amusing that Cain was afraid of being cast out fearing people would know what he'd done and kill him. I had been under the impression that he was one of only 4 people on the Earth, make that 3 since he killed Abel.

As for Moses (and Joshua) i'd say their actions were comparable to Hitler's. If anyone would like to explain Numbers 31 to me, i'd love to hear it.
