Are
you sick and tired of listening to opponents of gay marriage invoking the Bible
as their justification? If you want to load up with ammunition to blow those
arguments apart, I have the whole load for you, right here.
Quite recently I read the entire Bible straight through, all 1370 spine-tingling pages, from Genesis through to Revelation. I took copious notes as I went, pages and pages. One of the things I was watching out for, was the issue of GLBT and gay marriage, since opponents of gay marriage invoke the Bible so often.

I
learned that opponents of gay marriage are basing their arguments on Biblical
texts that are not only dubious but also contradictory; also the alleged ban on
gay marriage comes from a Jewish legal code that nobody ever really followed,
and in fact the Torah didn't even exist as a body of law until most of the
history of the ancient Israelites was already over. Also, the people who
established Christianity decided openly that they never intended their
followers to follow that Biblical code either.
So
read the links below this one, in the section marked "Next we completely tear apart the Christian argument against gay
marriage", to get all the details.
