""Not conclusive" is exactly how I'd describe the Pauline passages. Even if we could agree on what Paul is condemning, it's not clear why he is condemning whatever it is he's condemning. I think that the Pauline passages need to be examined in light of the overall framework of Christian views of sexuality, rather than read in isolation."

Do you know: all the evangelical Christains I've ever talked to have said the best place to start reading the New Testament is with the Pauline scriptures. And, surprise surprise, whenever I've questioned them about other NT books they, as Fawlty Towers' Manuel would say, "know nuh'ting". Perhaps you could tell me: do these people ever get beyond sex?
