"The Israelites were commanded as part of the law given to Moses and Aaron: "If a man lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Leviticus 20:13. In the beginning, those who were found guilty of such a sin were simply executed. God's opinion of the act of homosexuality was that it was a sin worthy of death."
This type of militant bigoted behavior isn't restricted to Islamic extremists, evidently Christians are also guilty. You can email or call the author: mailto:jasper@mountaineagle.com or 205-221-2840.

Hey did you pick up my mention of this text on the rhetorics of economics in post modernism *scuze me while I rinse my mouth* ... the author goes on to proprose that the role of economics is "to convince and persuade".
Would you buy a heart valve from someone with that as their prime directive?!
