If we read the whole section, Sodom's crime wasn't homosexuality, it was violence and lack of charity toward strangers in their town (who happened to be angels). The story isn't necessarily true but it shows how anyone can twist Scripture to their own purposes.<BR/><BR/>I didn't do a separate post on Granny (because no one who reads my rantings has any doubt about where I stand) but I sure chimed in on Blogging Baby. I was afraid I might have started a war but, for once, it didn't turn into 60 somments back and forth.<BR/><BR/>I think the religious right may have a committee that surfs the net looking for "their" topics.
