Why didn't the mythological Middle East male god Jehovah inspire the male authors of the biblical writings to address female homosexuality specifically …?

I must admit that I'm stumped as to why the Jewish tribal chieftains made up laws against gay men and stuffed those laws into Jehovah's mouth. You would think they would make Jehovah rant against lesbians too. My best guess about the command to murder homosexuals is to make sure men used all their semen to make babies of which the males could fight in armies.SallyF wrote:Why didn't the mythological Middle East male god Jehovah inspire the male authors of the biblical writings to address female homosexuality specifically …?
Women required one law: obey. Queen Victoria did not believe in lesbian relationships and the old bible brutes were interested in healthy, warlike males. You get an inkling of their attitude in fathers who scorn their gay sons and send them for brain therapy.Jagella wrote:

Probably because two women can’t do the same as two men could do.SallyF wrote: Why didn't the mythological Middle East male god Jehovah inspire the male authors of the biblical writings to address female homosexuality specifically …?
Is that what Jehovah was thinking? It makes no sense for a perfect god to snoop into people's sex lives like this. Power-hungry tribal chieftains seeking absolute power over their subjects might very well try to control the sex lives of those they rule.
I hope not! That would be a seriously mentally stunted and limited god!Is that what Jehovah was thinking?
Especially considering he can see everything all the time.It makes no sense for a perfect god to snoop into people's sex lives like this.
Ah Christianity....one of the best descriptions of it I've heard.Power-hungry tribal chieftains seeking absolute power over their subjects might very well try to control the sex lives of those they rule.
Well saidSo you can have your Bible, and you can have reason, but you can't have both.
I don’t think it is snooping to tell what is not good and right.Jagella wrote: …It makes no sense for a perfect god to snoop into people's sex lives like this…
I disagree with you, but please explain why do you think so?Jagella wrote:…So you can have your Bible, and you can have reason, but you can't have both…
There is no evidence to conclude that this "telling" is anything other than the reflection of human's outdated prejudice. If there were a god, it would be absurd to think that he would be upset with humans doing the very thing he created them to do.
