Possibly breaking the ones responding to trolls by pointing out the bible has to be put into the context of a living faith tradition, which holds that moral laws such as Moses commandments are immutable but disciplinary requirements are customs and so can be changed. This has been the case for about 2000 years now.

Ah here, this is AH and not one of the religious forums, so this doesn't count as trolling, surely?

When Christians say the stuff above this always comes to mind

'That's the great thing about Catholicism - it's very vague and no-one knows what its really all about" -Fr Ted.

Yet the the bit about homosexuality is still taken as literal. Religion bends to the will and agenda of the believer.
