[quote name="Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post"]Goofyy: I've read it, multiple times - in the Bible it's a story highlighting the consequences for sexual 'deviation' of any sort, and for any nation that permits such. I'm aware that a reading in the original Hebrew offers far more leeway as regards the cause for the destruction of the cities. I agree with you about Paul. Christ may have been a headcase, but the majority of what he said was relatively benign and clearly bent on reforming increasingly tyrannical rabbinical law. Paul, being of the conservative religious extremists within Judaism, was in no way benign and clearly tried to stymie Christ's efforts from within. I think a lot of what's come out of Christianity since can be laid at his feet. posted by Ryvar at 4:58 AM PST on May 4[/quote]
