Perhaps what would really throw off a lot of the homophobia in the Christian world is the fact that there are gay couples who indeed can and do stay in their relationships even when sex is taken out of the equation. Often this happens due to health problems or any of the other variety of reasons that heterosexual couples sometimes experience the same thing. People would like to think that somehow gay relationships are only based on sex. If in fact sex is not the basis of the relationship, is the fact that sex still happens within that relationship really such an issue? Are these physical acts that are confined to the privacy of one’s bedroom really so damaging to the rest of civilization? And how can one be sure that these acts really do in fact happen, if one does not see them first hand? Either homophobic people are completely without reason and logic, or they are peeping toms…and are peeping in windows that do not belong to me.

I think you hit the nail on the head with "we judge". Who are we to judge, to decide what is acceptable? Why can't you just live your life to your values and leave the others to their own values?

So I suppose we should bring back slavery too… since that's explicitly allowed in "God's Law"

Personally I'm glad that cultures have changed to allow the social behavior of banning slavery. Too bad your God is too much of a curmudgeon to agree.
