Homosexuality is undoubtedly a crime against nature. The evidence is in the Bible: "thou shall not lie down with a man as thou does with a woman." There fore I believe it is a sin, as it is clearly outlined as one.

Originally posted by 111sunIt's questionable whether the bible can be used as evidence for what's a crime against nature. It's also questionable whether "crime against nature" makes sense. And even if you believe that it does, and you believe that the bible can be used as evidence, there are still many different ways to interpret what the bible says, and many Christians don't think homosexuality is wrong. Where I live, we are just about to get a bishop who works for allowing homosexual marriage in church.

As I am not Christian myself, I don't care all that much about their reasons, but if a priest who used to be against homosexuality changes his or her mind after years of struggling with the issue, as this soon-to-be-bishop and another Norwegian priest I know of did, I am sure they have good reasons.
The way I see it, God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. The only homos in the Bible are from Soddom, and God destroyed the whole city because of them. Any Christian that thinks homosexuality is okay is either horribly mislead or not Christian.

Money from whom? And I don't see how standing up for the right of homosexual people to marry has anything to do with little boys (or girls).

Originally posted by AcemasterIsn't god supposed to be all in favour of love and forgiveness? I'm a little confused as to how destroying a whole city (full of people he created) gels with that idea.

Originally posted by hakamanHe gets in a lot of trouble with the church for his views. Of course he gets paid by the church, but so do other priests who don't support homosexuality. And he isn't supporting paedophilia, so how would his viewpoint be beneficial for paedophiliac priests?
