Don't presume to speak for God. There are passages in the bible that have been mistranslated and misinterpreted so many times, it's not clear at all the current interpretation matches the original meaning.

Even before we get to translation and interpretation, it's far from clear that that Masoretes got all the vowels right when they added them to the consonantal text of the Old Testament; after all, they were doing it a millennium or more down the line, including a period during which Hebrew was no longer used in common speech at all. Some passages would make a lot more sense with different vowels.

I think that was the point where people's Obvious Troll is Obvious reflex should kick in.

Eeeew, homos!
j/k. It's cool that Marten is so at ease with his father's sexuality and supports him. I have some friends that would be totally weirded out in the same situation (though not hateful, I don't make friends with those kinds of people).
As for the religion arguments....give it a rest. You don't know there's a God. Nobody does. Nobody "knows" that there isn't one, either. Accept that your beliefs are all based solely on a book that can only cite itself as a reference and is no more or less "logical" or "rational" than scientology, or the Roman/Greek pantheon, or any other religion.
"The Bible is the word of God!"
"Oh? How do you know?"
"Duh! Because it says so in the Bible!"
Circular reasoning works because circular reasoning works because circular reasoning works because........ :roll:

I may not be as 'modern' as i though. I suport gay rights in theory, but the image of two (admitadly entirely fictional) dudes kissing each other still made me feel a little ill. I wish it were easier to reconcile my political and personal beliefs.
As for this 'Killbot' character, i have a very simple message: PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE WHY IM AN ATHIEST
