Chick-Fil-A and Anti-Gay Christian Activists; Eat mor Lobster!

Leviticus is a very interesting read. So many Christians (among many other religions) quote Leviticus stating that homosexuality is an abomination (Leviticus 18:22 KJV).


If we look at another interesting chapter of Leviticus, chapter 11, we find a long list of 'abominations'. For instance, Leviticus 11:12,  
"Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you."
When all these folks get tired of protesting Chick-Fil-A, they need to pack their bags and head on over to the nearest Red Lobster. After all, eating shellfish is an abomination (no fins nor scales).


After a bit of research, it is painfully clear that there is a serious flaw in the King James Version of the Christian Bible. The original Hebrew text does not use 'abomination', rather, it says teovah. ReligionDispaches.org explains with excellent accuracy the use of the word teovah in many different contexts. The word simply cannot accurately translate to 'abomination'.

So, does the Bible say homosexuality is an abomination? No. It clearly does not.
