Why isn’t the “Moral Majority” shutting down sushi bars or seafood restaurants?

Gay marriage is a HUGE issue for conservatives in this country, citing the bible as a refrence, in which it states “[Homosexuality] is detestable” (Leviticus 18:22). BUT my question is, in the very same book of the bible, God refers to something else as being “destestable”: “Anything living in the water that does not have fins or scales is to be detestable to you” (Leviticus 11:12).
So one could argue, that in GOD’s eyes, enjoying Unagi (freshwater eel) or octopus or shrimp, crab, lobster, is commiting the same “level” sin as a practicing homosexual.

alright i know the argument that no one is trying to stop homosexuals from having sex, just stopping legal recognition of the relationship, But my question then would be, How did sushi bars or seafood restaurants get health department approval, legal regodnition of their businesses.

on a side note I am a Christian, Often my arguement to these people is, STOP citing the bible as your purpose to “destroy the unnatural” because in
reality, why cant you just admit, that it is strange to you and you dont welcome it for it being different! because if you truley were a Christ Crusader, you would learn what i feel is the MOST IMPORTANT BIBLE VERSE EVER “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Matthew 7:1)

all bible quotes are from NIV version

Sure there bible says not to murder and rape little children..?

but doesnt is also say not to eat shrimp…somewhere in lieviticus

why do i have to live by your standard of rules ?

Why is the Bible so long?

Shouldn’t it just be one sentance, Hi this is God and Jesus died for your sins and if you belief this I will reward you and if you don’t then I will punish you.

The rest of it is subject to interpretation, and we don’t follow it anymore. Example is Exodus 21:20-21. We don’t allow people to beat their slaves anymore. So we don’t need it anymore do we? And Leviticus 11:9-12, saying shrimp eating is an abomination, I guess we don’t need that anymore.

Do we need a sentance for who doesn’t get into heaven, say we include after my sentance 1 Corinthians 6:9, or Rev 22:15 where it says dogs don’t get in.

What do you think?

Why do people pick and choose parts of the Bible to enforce, expecially conserning homosexuality?

So, to those of you who say homosexuality is a sin (according to Leviticus 18:22), here are some other things that are a sin, according to your bible…

Shaving (Leviticus 19:27)
Shrimp (Leviticus 11:10)
Tattoos (Leviticus 19:28)
Working on Saturday (Leviticus 19:30)
Polyester (Leviticus 19:19)
Bunnies (Leviticus 11:6)
Vegitable gardens (Leviticus 17:10)
Hamburger (Leviticus 19:19)

Why do you condemn homosexuality, but not these things? They are all abominations to the lord, according to the Bible. Is it unreasonable for me to not take anyone seriously who says “Being gay is a sin!” but who shaves, works on saturday, wears polyester, or has a pet bunny? Your thoughts?
Hey Don, why is one part of the Bible more truthfull than the other? Leviticus is a part of the Bible too, isn’t it?
ac28, why is it any more of an abomination than the other things?
Oops, got the verses about hanburger and vegitable gardens switched. Just flp them around, people! :D

Can someone help me, my Bible is broken. I have a question about the word ABOMINATION?

Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. (NKJV)
So this is saying that homosexuality is an ABOMINATION. But then in 11:9-12 it says eating shrimp is also an ABOMINATION.
9 ‘These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers—that you may eat. 10 But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales, all that move in the water or any living thing which is in the water, they are an abomination to you. 11 They shall be an abomination to you; you shall not eat their flesh, but you shall regard their carcasses as an abomination. 12 Whatever in the water does not have fins or scales—that shall be an abomination to you.
Leviticus 11:9-12 (NKJV)

So please explain this to me, this standard of morality, where having gay sex is just as bad as eating shrimp. Does this mean, its really not that bad to be having gay sex?
