Things about homosexuality being wrong are not just limited to the OT. Paul addresses that subject in several of his letters as well. the book of Romans comes to mind. (I'd have to pull my bible out to give you exact verses). Where people tend to cherry pick these verses is when trying to condemn the violators, which is wrong.

And I agree with you about how hypocritical people are. People seem to just want to support their point of view. Things like Homosexuality, adultery, etc, tend to be judged. but the people don't stop at judging the activity, they tend to want to harshly judge the person as well, which goes against both the OT and NT. That's one reason I try to be careful to distinguish activity from person. (you know, hate the sin, love the sinner, type of mentality). and the hypocritical part is that they quickly go to point out the "sin" in others, but conveniently forget about the sin in their own lives. (and we are all sinners before God).

And also, all the Abrahamic religions do NOT share the same core. Judaism and Christianity do, the main difference really being the belief in Christ as the Messiah. Islam has a whole different core, which I believe is due to the fact taht much of Islam is through the tribes of Ishmael and not Isaac. (I'd have to look that up again).

I'll stop there, I've probably shoved by foot in my mouth up to my knee at this point. XD
