Reply #15: Here's a New One, or Maybe Somebody Has Heard This [View All]

My local radio talkshow wingnut dug up this dude who is some kind of extreme Christian. But he didn't sound like the run of the mill fundie nutjob AT FIRST. After he conveyed some sincere-sounding spirituality and sounded downright ecumenical by saying he actively observes Jewish holidays-----wham, out of nowhere he came up with this:

He said that supporters of Gays often cite Leviticus as an absurdity and contrast it to Jesus's NEVER having mentioned homosexuality. This dude said that, au contraire, his SILENCE "speaks louder than words," that Herod represents homosexuality in the New Testament and that Jesus "would not even LOOK at him and would not SPEAK to him," which this dude interprets as a New Testament condemnation of homosexuality.

I e-mailed the wingnut host and referred him to Holy Blood, Holy Grail and The Templar Revelation and Bloodlines of the Holy Grail, somewhere in there where it was said that it was IMPOSSIBLE for a Jew back then NOT to be married, much less become a public figure and preach, without becoming a spectacle or otherwise commented upon. That this could lead in different directions, like "some people say" (to use a Fauxism) that he was Gay, or, like he was married to the Magdalene and had children.

Anyway, that guest was an odd one.
