b'Today we respond to a reader question: what\\u2019s the real deal with sexual ethics? They think that God is obsessed with virginity and that a woman (who slept with someone) is usually compared to a chewed up gum, a plucked rose, and so on. \\u201cDoes God care that much about premarital sex when dating as it is?\\u201d\\nWe then queer the text from Leviticus that shows a God who is filled with kindness and justice.

Do not show favoritism to the poor or deference to the great; you must judge your fellow Israelites fairly. Do not go around slandering your people. Do not stand by while your neighbor\\u2019s blood is shed; I am the Lord. You must not hate your fellow Israelite in your heart. Rebuke your fellow Israelite strongly, so you don\\u2019t become responsible for his sin. You must not take revenge nor hold a grudge against any of your people; instead, you must love your neighbor as yourself; I am the Lord.\\n\\n \\nPhoto by Diana Vargas\\nThe post Leviticus\\u2019 God – Leviticus 19:1-2, 15-18 appeared first on Queer Theology.'
