Wait... Human interpretation is flawed?



People seem to have a lot to say on the bible and homosexuality, this is just an example of how people will just call it a sin because thats what they think bible says. However, I don't believe that they ever actually took the time to do some research on it.

The following is an example..

Over the years I have come to believe that opinions are morphed by what people say or what their best friend thinks or what other people say around them. Similar to how an eyewitness at a trial is actually pretty unreliable because the the persons memory is easily tweaked by persuasion or just a wrong interpretation. Sometimes you it can seem like what you think is right, is in fact the truth, but sometimes it isn't. The following link is a great example of what I'm referring to. Yes, its unrelated to homosexuality but it shows how this woman nearly got raped, and when she went to identify a man she picked the wrong man, he spent 11 years in prison under a life sentence, only for it to be found later in a DNA test that it was someone else.

The religious view on homosexuality...



First off I wanna start with this video, Consider it an introduction to the the topic at hand. Starting it off with religion. To those interested in what i have to say in the scientific aspect. I will express my view on that shortly after I said all I could say about coorespondance to religion and homosexuality.

I think that the bible is taken way to literally.. and that just because its what you think, it doesn't make it true! Is is possible that a person could take a quote from any text, and flip its meaning around to make the arguement go their way? If you said no then I might ask you to think of a time you made a comment on facebook or somewhere with friends, and someone heard it and suddenly thinks you were talking about him/her.. Now this person is going around to people spreading rumors that you were talking about him/her behind his/her back.. does that make it true? The answer to that is no. So does that mean your interpretation of the bible is true? I think not!
