Moderns who think those books are something more significant than historical records are tied up in knots about this. The Episcopal Church is this very day being split in two over the calling of a gay bishop, and they have some of the most sophisticated tools to excuse themselves from troubling scripture points.
A college professor of mine pointed out that if tomorrow God wrote in mile-high letters in the sky, "Homosexuality is an abomination --- ix-nay on the uttlove-bay," the debate would still continue.

You see, what I don't get is how anyone possibly thinks that we are equipped to decipher the word of God. The arrogance is absolutely astounding. I'm just guessing, but I think there's probably only been one or two sentient beings since the beginning of time that have communicated with God and I seriously doubt that they were concerned with stupid bigoted things like who should fuck whom (or whom should fuck who or whatever it is).
(they were concerned with finding the dauphin, or something like that)
