No Christian can quote those passages [about homosexuality in the Old Testament] with any credibility. For if they do suddenly start getting pious about verses in the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament, then they can only do so if they adhere to other verses in it such as circumcising all your male children, as it also commands; abstaining from pork or prawns, as it also commands; not wearing garments in which wool and linen is mixed, as it also commands. If you don’t keep up these, but do object to homosexuality, then you are just doing a pick and mix job, and are driven not by religious beliefs but by gay prejudice. If you take this approach to scripture you should also not object to stoning rebellious children or nailing your slave’s ear to the door post.
