Monk Guy, What is the academic consensus on the gay issue, from your experience? Is this all just about a few mistranslated passages?

And the cloth made of two fibers thing, what about that?

Meanwhile, I’d also like to know why this nice God guy hates women so much. Do you have trouble selling the whole “Word of God” line when you know touching stories like Judges 19 are included in that?
