I think it's more about how some religious leaders are calling for genocide.

I asked this but isn't that book in the OT? Christians follow the NT don't they...or that was the excuse I was told by them.

If you care to follow through on your research (as well as your "gut instincts") and find out that even the Bible is not as clear cut in it's supposed damnation of gays, lesbians, bis, et. al.
Check out some of the actual verbiage between Jonathan and David in the OT. Check out the healing of the Centurion's pais in the NT.

But the 10 commandments are in the old testament. The Genesis creation story is in the old testament. We're also told that the bible is the word of God, and cannot be changed. (even though it has numberous times throughout history) So...
Then we have many Christians like this fellow who follow the old testament.. ken hamm and his bunch following the old testament. It depends on which group of Christians you hang out with.

IT IS NOT the responsability of the individual to punish JUST inform,THE IDEA is UNITY not seperation.mankind isn't really that GOOD yet. Just because there Christian Hitlers roll with the garbage THEIR small factions believe,doesn't mean we all do ANYMORE than we would BLAME Richard Simmons on OLARU.
It's is as comparatively ODD to christianity.

I gotta say, a few years back I was given a hard time by many forum members because I posted info. on homosexuals that had been hung in Iran.
Oh boy, I was called a hater and an Islamophobe, My feelings were I was posting this not out of hate but out of love and sorrow for the suffering, the suppression of men and women.
I never quite understood the double standard on the forum.
However if you are going to educate the world try a loving approach, free of judgment and full of tolerance.
Being snarky and judgmental only makes people defensive, take the scriptures in question and examine them in line with the times they were written in mind.
