"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them."
But no judeo Christian sect advocates killing gays.
I think some people are just full of hate. They may be from any religion or no religion. A person like that is going to look for anyone or anything that can be seen to back their views.
Sorry, I'm still not buying into your moral equivalency. Your argument is "It's the individual, not the religion."
No Christian sect advocates killing gays.
Many Muslim sects advocate killing gays.
Few Muslim sects support Al Queda.
MANY Muslim sects support killing all the Jews, Israelis, etc.
Etc.
For those of us who recognize that these are ALL the ideas of men, it's easy to see. Just as people use patriotism, race, or historical events to justify their actions. It's just people killing people. Same old, same old. There is nothing holy or divine about any of it.
