My lady love shared something off Facebook this morning that I can’t seem to let go of, and it’s too late to retrieve it and give credit where credit is due, so I’ll take it for myself.
In any event, since new interpretations to old Biblical texts are such a hobby horse of mine  
I feel compelled to share this with folks, I’m sure someone will appreciate it.

After the elections in Maryland, Maine… sanctioning gay marriages and also Colorado, Washington going and legalizing marijuana. . .

The Leviticus edict takes on an entirely new meaning:  “If a man lies with a man, they shall be stoned” !!!

....and consensually so!!

The bible from a humanist perspective….....

Maybe they had a concept of that, even back then???

Well, they have had this incense and myrrh stuff around for a long time…..

Where there is smoke, there is “fellowship”......

Well, it’s definitely true of a guy I know.  He and his boyfriend smoke more pot than any two human beings I have ever known.

A book you may find interesting:  Bible Myths and their Paralllels in Other Religions Being a Comparison of the Old and New Testament.  by T.W. Doane.  I was able to down load it free from Kindle.

The following is an article from Buffalo News concerning climate change and what may be needed to adopt to it:  http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20121112/OPINION/121119796

Leviticus 18:22 KJV: “Thou salt not lie with mankind as with with womankind”

That is okay, I don’t “lie” with womankind as I do mankind, because I only lie with men

———-

Levticus 20:13

“‘If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

Oh that sounds like a peaceful, loving religion that I want to follow.
