I’ve been reading a lot about biblical stuff lately. What the texts say, in context with what would have been the original meaning at the time. “Homosexual orientation” didn’t exist in the minds of the writers, what they were talking about on the OT is taking a passive, penetrative role —like a woman—in other words, it’s misogynistic.
Abortion is in no way condemned in the Bible. They do a lot of biblical tap dancing to claim it does.

If I can do that, anyone can. Lots of info out there.

This horrific take is a deliberate choice. Which creeps me out.
