They were just bad at picking up women. Philosophers can be very dorky.

Kinda like in this book?

There were homosexuals in Roman times. And someone in the military who turned out to be homosexual would probably be "hidden" by his family by getting sent off to a far flung province. Like um... Judea. So there were homosexuals in his time, and he probably would have been aware of them. Yet did not directly address them. But he hung out with a whore, forgave thieves, etc. So we can wonder - would a "real Christian" associate with teh gays? Yeah, probably.

Yeah, I was about to say - though Christ said nothing about homosexuality in the Bible, there's a great deal said about being compassionate. I highly doubt that, according to Jesus' personality as documented, he would have behaved similarly to the FRC, even if he did consider it to be a sin.

Perhaps the fact that he didn't specifically mention them means that he didn't see them as any different then anyone else.

Just like you don't go around saying - my hetero friend Greg and I went bowling this weekend, he didn't go around saying that he and his gay friend went...er... whatever it was they did back in the day. ;)

Sure, that's the beauty of it. You get to make up whatever answers most satisfy you.

Jesus didn't mention homosexuals so he must have been ok with him.
Jesus didn't mention homosexuals because the Judaic disapproval of them was already so ingrained in the culture that it was unnecessary to mention.

He also didn't mention toaster ovens and I personally think he would have disapproved. Get a toaster or get an oven, none of this halfway hybrid crap.

So that's how this religion stuff works. ;)

Pffft. You're assuming he disliked Toaster Ovens simply because that's Teh Gay's main recruitment weapon. Guilt by association. :p

I DO know that Jesus Said (if you believe the accounts, and plenty do):

Well, Homosexuals are lovin' each other left, right and centre, so they HAVE to have some merit in Jesus' eyes.

...it also means that the ones that hate the homos are not acting as jesus' disciples. Hate isn't love.

I'm off for breakfast now. I'm having Avocado on toast. Done in my Toaster-Oven.

...and I just found this Youtube video series explaining "Why Obama is not a Christian" which is pretty nutcase if you ask me...
