Osama bin Laden was "pro-life". Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

That may be the single gayest thing I have ever read on this board. Or the old one. ;)

Up until the last two sentences, the Strawman is right on the mark. Besides, there is evidence of same-sex love being accepted and even celebrated: even in the Old Testament. Look at the story of Ruth and Naomi, and just try to tell me "Where you go, there shall I go also; where you lodge, there shall I rest my head; your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die, so shall I fall, and I shall be buried beside you"(paraphrased, too lazy to look it up) means something other than "I love you, and I'll prove it." And that's not all: these two women apparently spend the entire rest of their lives together, and even when when Ruth has Obed, it's Naomi's reaction that makes the book, not Boaz'. Yeah, I know, "thye wert fUCKIN and thats why GOD hates TEH GAYYS", but the idea that the only way two people can have a deep romantic relationship is by constantly bumpin' uglies is a pretty sure sign that the person saying that has no real clue how human relationships work.

I also picked up some homoerotic vibes between David and Jonathan.

To put it another way: the Bible can be pretty fucking gay.

You mean David declaring "I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women." 2nd Samuel 1:26

Sometimes fundie upbringing has its benefits (mainly that you can trip them up with their own book and it better helps you fight against fundie upbringing.).

Homosexuality wasn't always villianized.  Even for the fertile crescent religions.

And consider the Bibles protagonist is a male carpenter who kisses other men, and spent most of his life around some men...

Maybe I've missed the whole point of this controversy, but I thought it wasn't not knowing about it that was the problem, but the fact that the nearest US troops were 12 hours away and couldn't have gotten there in time to do anything, never mind that US soldiers entering Libya probably would cause a hell of a lot more problems.

Personally, I couldn't care less what the bible says. Legal rights shouldn't be affected by what one holy book has to say, particularly when that same holy book insists that slavery is okay, a father can sell his daughter, and disobedient children and people who work on the Sabbath should be stoned to death. Hell, it can't even get objective facts right: Are bats birds? Do rabbits chew their cud? Do insects have four legs? According to the bible, the answer to all of those questions is "yes".

And remind me, what's the value of pi again?

The Apostle John, The Beloved Disciple.

And David & Jonathan just screams "HOYAY!"

The alleged anti-gay verses were likely poorly-translated injunctions against pederasty & temple prostitution (the later due to sex slavery, not 'Sacred sex is evil'). The ancient forms of Hebrew, Greek & Aramaic are very tricky to translate & I have yet to find a translation that corrects the anti-gay verses. Apparently translators, even progressive ones, don't want to rock the boat.
