Some churches have decided to interpret some texts in a certain way, so as to condemn people and extort funds in exchange for "forgiveness". That decision does not, however, make the actual Bible any more clear. The great majority of people who believe that the Bible is clear on this topic have only read it in English. But, of course, it was written in Hebrew and Aramaic. Most English translations contain large numbers of errors. Some of those errors are clearly intentional. The Hebrew and Aramaic languages of two millenia ago did not even have words for the concept that we now call "homosexual". Actually, the Bible is not at all clear about homosexuality.

Chapter and Verse, please for Sex before marriage = Bad. Oh...that's right. You won't find it. I'm proudly a queer Christian but people like this make me ashamed and sick. There are so many more worthy causes to back than obsessing over video games; go feed some under-privileged families or fundraiser for a homeless shelter. “The Bible is very clear about sexual immorality and homosexuality just as it is about refraining from sex before marriage and adultery.”

Anti-gay activists often boycott gay-friendly businesses. Just think of the tizzy that these people work themselves up into every year when Disney World holds "gay day." Recently, the American Family Association launched a boycott against McDonalds because the company had joined the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. The examples actually go on and on. This is the reason that I can only laugh at the whining that has gone on about OUR boycotts. @ahoke: Indeed you’re right. Anti-gay activists often boycott gay-friendly businesses.

The Christians are in a no win situation here. Gamers want to blur the lines of reality. They demand more detail, smoother character interaction, etc. And it gets better with every generation. Homosexuality is apart of that. Anything in real life that can't be denied must then be put into a game. Can't wait until we reach the virtual reality world type graphics with helmets/goggles and everything. It's fast approaching. Those games sound hot.
