- I copied the following from the great floating homosexual flame war
- long ago... the guy who wrote may or may not be family, but man, after
- this post, many of the idiots shut up.

- Well, I realize most of the pro-homosexual side of this argument is saying
- "Look it up yourself", but since it didn't take me long to find it, I'll
- post the relevant verses myself.
-
- All are from Samuel I:
-
- 18:1 ...the soul of Jonathon was knit with the soul of David and
- Jonathon loved him as his own soul.
- :2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home
- to his father's house.
- :3 Then Jonathon and David made a covenant, because he loved him as
- his own soul.
- :4 And Jonathon stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave
- it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and
- to his girdle.
- [Ed. - The girdle is the crucial part]
-
- 19:2 But Jonathon Saul's son delighted much in David...
-
- 20:17 And Jonathon caused David to swear again, because he loved him;
- for he loved him as his own soul.
-
- :30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathon, and he said unto
- him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that
- thou hast chosen the son of Jesse [David] to thine own confusion,
- ^^^^^^^^^
- and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?
-
- And to help explain this last quote, I pull from everybody's favorite,
- Leviticus:
-
- 20:12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall
- surely be put to death; they have wrought confusion....
- ^^^^^^^^^
- Go ahead, explain that one away....
