“Moreso that I’m a non-believer – I find it incredibly absurd that Comelec would claim homosexuality was immoral just because their choice of religious book says so. And It’s a book, mind you, that has openly condoned the eradication of entire nations (Book of numbers), incest (Lot and his daughters), and…killing people for eating shellfish (Leviticus).

I’ve said enough.”

I think you’ve not said enough.

I’m not familiar with Book of Numbers. Maybe if you can educate us of the verse or where the readers of this blog can find that eradication of entire nation was openly condoned in that Book.

Or the incest (Lot and his daughters). You did not provide context or additional details on how it happened and what was the intention of his daughters. Take note that it was not Lot who instigated the incest. Did you intentionally omit that? (Or if Lot was the one who instigate it, what is the issue.? Onanism, Judas betrayed Jesus, Peter lied, Sodom and Gomorrah… They are all part of bible’s narrations).

Killing people for eating shellfish? Where is that in Leviticus?

Hey, wasn’t Jesus crucified by an angry mob of his own people?

I’m a first-time visitor on your blog, but I am especially concerned with the case of Ladlad. I may not be gay, but I doubt I have to be to see the bigotry behind Comelec’s decision.

To lay it straight – I like your commentary and the way you presented the facts on the matter. I’ll be looking forward to your second column regarding this case.

Cheers!

Right now now my definition on tolerance is you are tolerating. Acceptance is you passed the tolerance stage and you’re accepting it.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

The trouble for me is on what level.
