There is one line in Leviticus about homosexuality: he disapproves. There are hundreds of lines about how to prepare oxen (and sheep and dove) entrails for burnt sacrifice.

Leviticus also says that women are unclean for seven days after menstruation, and seven days after the birth of a male child, and 2 weeks after the birth of a female child. He also holds that anything a woman touches or sits on while menstruating is unclean.

So, do those congregations who cite Leviticus' writing as Biblical authority that homosexulaity is wrong, also ban menstruating women from church? The pews would be unclean, if you hold to his teaching.

Do they forbid the congregation (husband and siblings included, presumably) from visiting women who've give birth for 7 or 14 days depending on the sex of the child? Those women and their children are likewise unclean. Just curious... please, if you can help me understand this, I will willingly listen...
