Vitesse,
You are still missing the point.

I am not condemning anyone for anything. Regardless of whether you believe in the Bible, it is a simple fact that the Bible condemns Homosexuality.

Let me explain it to you:

If I am a Buddhist, the Bible still condemns Homosexuality. If I am a Nazi, the Bible still condemns homosexuality. If I am a Christian, the Bible still condemns homosexuality. If I am an atheist the Bible still condemns Homosexuality.

The fact that the Bible condemns homosexuality does not rely on what you personally believe. It's merely a fact.

It seems to me that you think I am telling you that the Bible is true on this point. I am not stating that!!! I am merely clarifying the Bible's take on homosexuality. This point goes to show, as I have said now about 3 times, that Tolkien probably did not intend any gay subtext.

Let me put it another way:

I DON'T CARE WHETHER OR NOT YOU BELIEVE THE BIBLE.
I DON'T CARE WHETHER OR NOT HOMOSEXUALITY IS A LIFESTYLE OR NOT.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT PROVING ANYTHING BESIDE THE FACT THAT THE BIBLE LOOKS DOWN UPON HOMOSEXUALITY, AND I ONLY CARE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE LOTR WITH RESPECT TO GAY SUBTEXT!!!!
