The purpose of this pamphlet is not to convert anyone to a particular belief, or to disparage the beliefs of any individual or group. The information included here assumes you are at some stage in the process of reconciling your religious beliefs with your sexuality. The field is enormous and few areas within it are not controversial. The fundamentalists may make the most noise, but the humanist tradition is alive and well in most Christian, Jewish and Moslem congregations. Simply put, no.
All scripture is interpreted, even by fundamentalists who claim to take their scripture literally.
This is so for Christians referring to the Bible, as well as Moslems referring to the Koran. The Koran cannot be translated authoritatively into any language other than classical Arabic, to avoid the ambiguity of translation, but Islamic scholars still have to interpret meaning into concepts that are over 1400 years old. For the Bible, especially the Old Testament, the primary documents no longer exist, and the oldest versions are written in languages long dead. Though modern interpretations may come close to the original, without getting into the head of the first authors and understanding their inspirations, literal interpretations are meaningless. For Jews, the problem does not exist, as there is a 2500 year old tradition of scriptural commentary and interpretation included in the Talmud, having as much validity as the primary documents in the Torah.
