The interesting part is to take the "10 commandments" away from the fable of them being spoken from god to moses and look at the reality that people (the jews) wrote them for themselves. When you look at it that way you realize people/humans have come up with this "morality" not god. Those humans then just like us humans now needed order and rules and way to have a orderly society.

What ever Piggie. Didn't you watch or read the Da Vinci Code?

I think that morality is fairly obvious, however there are always gray areas due to circumstances. As all humans are fallible and may not always make the moral choice, a divine set of rules was and is necessary for one to reflect upon while making decisions.

lol..I don't do fiction.

A divine set of rules is a good way to try to get dumb people to do good things since they often cannot see the long term repercussions of their actions...but often backfires when they fly planes into buildings.

an thus the arguments have gone just about full circle

yawn...singing..so good to feel smug....bannerman.

(concubines, not porcupines)

Also, there's nothing in the gospels that would preclude Jesus from being gay or bi.

That's likely to be shocking to some people, but so what if Jesus was gay? What difference would it make?

jesus wasn't gay, because he didn't have a convertible donkey. don't you know anything about gay/lesbian studies tom?

Jesus might have been gay, Paul was for sure.
