One of the remarkable things about the two texts in Leviticus is there is no evidence in any other Scriptures that this referred to homosexuality and no one until maybe Philo thought that homosexuality was immoral. (I am researching this at the moment, so I will clarify if I am in error, and will welcome anyone correcting me.)

If this goes on any further what with the passing on of people like Donald Wildmon and James Dobson the supposed ‘culture wars’ may come to pass with just a whimper.

I don’t think so. Being saracstic and yanking chains, in my opinion. My advice: Don’t take his bait.

We realize our mistake.

I will not execute others who have different beliefs than I or who as guilty of sin as I. And I will stand against such a thing in any nation.

If Uganda wanted to legislate biblical principles, it would have to criminalize adultery and premarital sex and not single out homosexuality, he said.”

Exactly my point. Biblical principles do call for mass executions and Ugandan lawmakers should be commended for adhering to Biblical principles. Unfortunately, Wagner, a man of refined Christian thinking, thinks the mass execution program is infeasible. Not immoral, mind you, but infeasible.

Man is not qualified to assess the feasibility of God’s infallible word. I would also note that the Israelites had no feasibility problems when they exterminated homosexuals, fornicators, and adulterers, not to mention most of the other tribes they came across. If Moses could do it, so can we. American Christians can bring the same ingenuity and creativity to this feasibility problem as they did in cleansing the West and converting the Indian heathens to Christ.
