So pretty clear, two blokes having sex = abomination and then put to death.

(Sigh) we've been here so many times before but just for fun here goes.
In OT times, being stoned to death was seen as an acceptable form of punishment for many crimes. Society has moved on from such barbaric behaviour. This is what I mean about your usual tactic of taking scripture out of context.

(Double sigh) OK Xaccers I'll humour you again as usual. If I'm not mistaken this the point where I normally say that the subject of 'kosher food' does not play a part in my life?

As you well know, that is not the case. You are also fully aware of what His sacrifice means so why are you playing dumb? To belittle my views?

Why should he single them out? Surely saying 'atheists' encompasses more people?
