The bible says much worse than that. "And Moses said to them: "Have you kept all the women alive? Look, these women caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against the LORD in the incident of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD. Now therefore, kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman who has known a man intimately. But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls who have not known a man intimately. The booty remaining from the plunder, which the men of war had taken, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep, seventy-two thousand cattle, sixty-one thousand donkeys, and thirty-two thousand persons in all, of women who had not known a man intimately. And the half, the portion for those who had gone out to war, was in number three hundred and thirty-seven thousand five hundred sheep; and the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and seventy-five. The cattle were thirty-six thousand, of which the LORD's tribute was seventy-two. The donkeys were thirty thousand five hundred, of which the LORD's tribute was sixty-one. The persons were sixteen thousand, of which the LORD's tribute was thirty-two persons. So Moses gave the tribute which was the LORD's heave offering to Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses." bible.gospelcom.net

Was this post supposed to be humorous? It is a bit difficult to tell. Just in case you were being serious, Jesus never discussed homosexuality. The Bible itself was written and rewritten over a long period of time by MEN, and some sects chose some of the gospels they liked and dropped others. Some gospels have been discovered more recently. The Bible (which incidentally is believed in by a small minority of the earth's population, just to keep this in perspective) does mention homosexuality, but a lot of scholars believe that it is sexual overindulgence in general, and not homosexuality specifically, that is really the issue. Jesus in my opinion was a leftist socialist radical who would have voted Democratic in the last election. Most of his closest advisors were women, and judging others harshly and accumulating vast sums of money were not what he was about at all.
