Maybe Falwell's does but the one the rest of us read is not quite so clear. The word doesn't even exist in the bible as we use it today. All sorts of people will use a book to justify their own biases rather than let the book shape them.If he really was against homosexuality rather than homosexuals then he probably should have said:“AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexual behavior; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexual behavior”Though I think if he looked in his bible he might find that Christians lived in cultures that practiced all sorts of things that were not their way and they didn't get up on a high horse about men who married concubines or any other number of things. Moses even married a black women (referring to his other comment) and not only did no one complain but they just didn't think too much about it at all.
