Catholic school student expelled because his parents are gay

From the Huffington Post


Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. In fact, it’s lucky he got away with only an expulsion. Given Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13, the Bible is pretty clear on homosexuality. The punishment for it is death. The  truly horrific thing is that he should, according to the Bible, be punished for his parents' sinfulness. WikiAnswers shows the relevant passages:

Exodus 20:5 , Deuteronomy 5:9 I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

Exodus 34:7 Visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children unto the third and to the fourth generation.

Numbers 14:18 Visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.

Deuteronomy 28:18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body.

Jeremiah 32:18 Thou ... recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them.

And now my personal favorite: Isaiah never disappoints.

Isaiah 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers.

And before you say that Jesus changed the story, consider this passage in Matthew 23, 31-33:

Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? 

So once again, I’d say he got off pretty lucky. To their credit, the Catholic Church is acting in full accordance with their doctrines. Perhaps if all believers followed their holy texts more strictly, their absurdity would be more readily apparent.
