      The original translation of “men are prohibited to lay down with man” is more akin to “men are prohibited from laying down with boys”

      So the only real verse in the Bible that mentions homosexuality is actually telling people to not be pedos

      Technically the meaning behind the word sodomy was never recorded consistently through the ages so you can basically say it’s whatever you want and therefor the bible is against it. For example, maybe Felatio is Sodomy. Maybe non-metaphorically eating corndogs is Sodomy. Or both or neither.

        The only thing we can say for sure is that daughters getting their father drunk and raping him to get pregnant probably didn’t happen in Sodom. It happened directly after by the only “good” people allowed to survive.

          That’s your reward for being good! You get to rape your dad and have his kid!

        If only this would happen to Christianity.
