Progressive Proselytizing: Cheri DiNovo and Biblical Views of Homosexuality

A big thank you to PZ Myers for finding this video on youtube.

Dead Wild Roses: More Christain “Morality”
It’s funny how when the bible says some really ugly repugnant things the ability to interpret what it ‘actually’ means becomes so darn important. One would think the word of god was above the musing of mere mortals….
