Actually, Kiki I would argue it is much more pharisaic to try to make God maleable to your values and lifestyle than to make your values and lifestyle maleable to God.
I know which side of this arguement you are on - and I respect that. We (I don't mean to be preseumptuous when I say "we") are simply saying that suggesting God condones homosexuality is an uninformed opinion.

I'm making a conscious, deliberate effort to avoid getting into a tit-for-tat with anyone, particularly on this issue. It just spoils any kind of good holiday buzz (you know--peace, fellowship, goodwill toward fellow men, yada, yada, yada) that I can work up.
But two things to consider:
1) Check the definition of pharisaic and re-consider to whom it more aptly applies.
2) Consider the irony of having James Dean (documentedly bisexual) as your avatar.
