And my interpretation is that Christianity caters for a group of people who believe that Christ is or was God; or is the son of God. All wholly improbable - even if there is a God.

The passage relates to lust not the romantic love between people of the same sex.
I would be surprised if a single MP has not contravened at least one verse, proverb or commandment in the Christian bible.
Actually I think the socialist aspect is more relevant to a discussion on the National Party.
Matthew 19:21
Somehow the farce that remains of the current National Party has infected & contaminated this thread.
Funny! :lol:
And regarding the discussion re using the term “passed away” or “dead“ I use both. On the whole I tend to reflect the word the persons family use back to them as that way I know I am using words they are comfortable with.
As a medical person I probably have a bias towards using the word dead and that is the word I use in talking about my mother and my father who have died. But I know some people are not comfortable with the word especially when a person has died suddenly or unexpectantly and I respect that. Sometimes it takes a while for people to process that a loved one is gone so they might refer to a person as having passed away early on in the process but once they have accepted the person is gone they are able to refer to them as having died.
Anyway thats been my experience of things :)
