The "clobber verses" of the Bible.
- Leviticus 18:22
- 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
- 1 Timothy 1:9-10
- Romans 1:26-27
I am gay but not Christian (anymore). I'm Hindu, which has nothing theological to say about homosexuality, gender-fluidity, or any "alternative" sexuality for that matter. I don't take these verses seriously for myself (anymore), but I feel the conflict, anguish and pain they cause to gay Christians. And while it's probably true these verses cannot and should not be taken at face value, having a deeper context and meaning, they
are taken at face value by those who have a thing against homosexuality.
