one liberal christian view on same sex marriage is that the bible should be re-interpreted in modern society. this is because the anti-homosexual texts in the bible are the relfection of the time rather than the word of god. this is a weak argument because the bible is the word of god which shouldn’t be manipulated or changed.

Q

what is another muslim view on same sex marriage? (not allowed)

A

another muslim view on same sex marriage is that you cannot do the same as prophet lot’s people (homosexuality). for example, prophet muhammed says “if you find anyone doing as lot’s people, kill the one who does it, and the one whom it is done”. this is a weak argument because it is outdated and inhumane to now kill anyone who acts upon homosexual desires in a modern society.
