Democracy is also sine qua non of Hitler coming to power , which doesn ' t mean that it is wrong , or inherently bad . If earliest Christians didn ' t kill gay people , and some people centuries later did , I can ' t blame them , I can blame people who were actually killing gay people . Scientific advancements show us that the negative things we thought about homosexuality historically were untrue . I don ' t care about that , because it is irrelevant to a discussion . What I care for is whether gay sex and gay marriage are allowed by God or not . Nothing harmful will happen to me if I break Lent by drinking a glass of milk , which is still a transgression if I do it without a valid reason . suggesting warranted reevaluation of beliefs we take for granted . Sure , if Jesus decides to change His message to fit with the modern times . As it stands now , He didn ' t , so I think it ' s fair to say that I ' m not smarter than Him , that He doesn ' t need me to write up my own laws and that we are to do as we ' re told until further instructions .
