The problem here, Mr. Pope, is that there are probably several scriptural scholars on the list (and I can count myself as being fairly knowledgable on the subject) that could counter this argument, but I don't really want to see or engage in a prolonged waste time flaming or mud- slinging. For the record, the sins of Sodom were cruelty and inhospitality, not homosexuality. One could argue that it is the intolerant that are the true "sodomites". `Nuff said, Tim Rayborn %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
