Does it matter who puts them to death? I'm not following how putting a homosexual to death is okay no matter who does it. Would you defend an average citizen murdering a homosexual? What about the government executing them? If the answer is no to either I highly suggest you ask yourself why god (the only other option) doing something that would immoral for man to do is okay.

So what is the context? What is the message this book is trying to send us? For the record I agree that the bible was written for specific circumstances. It was written for a superstitious population of desert nomads who had recently settled down. 90% were illiterate and uneducated and had no understanding of the world beyond the immediate surroundings. It was a product of a time and place and a significant piece of culture. What puzzles me is how people think that a book written under this set of circumstances should control how we live in an enlightened and technologically advanced society. The anti gay stuff isn't the only problem with it either, but I suppose I've written enough for the night.
