Yes, according to God's Word in Leviticus 20:13...
..and according to the loving fundamentalist Christians at the Westboro Baptist Church (godhatesfags.com) which believes in the literal interpretation of The Holy Bible.
“...as a Christian, in principle, if God tells you to kill someone, yes, you should. It’s God," says Pastor Mike Taylor, online influencer whose YouTube channel boasts over 500,000 followers!
Yes, the inconvenient truth is that fundamentalist churches and pastors like Mike Taylor have God on their side.
Most Christians, and thankfully so, take a more moderate stance on what they call "difficult" (a euphemism for bullshit) scripture which goes against their personal value system. Too, they rely on a moderate clergy to perform the difficult mental gymnastics of bending, twisting and stretching the more disturbing scriptures to better conform to their evolving beliefs. "Hate the sin, not the sinner," certain pious friends and family said to me when a relative came out of the closet, parroting their pastor's platitudes. (Read: "We love them, but too bad, they're still going to Hell.")
Since the data shows that most Christians are biblically illiterate (click on the Stats menu), it is the pastor's job to interpret difficult scripture and help their flock feel less uncomfortable when God’s instructions conflict with their own personal, evolving sense of morality. They need a way to excuse their god's commands to kill disobedient children or to stone to death those who work on Saturday or to slay their bride on their wedding night should they discover she is not a virgin – not to mention enforcing the seventh Commandment (which would wipe out half of Congress!) Job security for the clergy, I suppose.
Although most Christians would not actively kill or condone the killing of a man or woman for the "sin" of homosexuality, many still oppose legislation that give those in the LGBTQ community equal rights in marriage, employment and society. In that sense they feel they are, to some degree, still carrying out God's plan.
I have a pastor friend who somehow seems to know which of these "inconvenient" scriptures are allegory or metaphor to illustrate a lesson and which are sacred, to be taken literally. Only God knows. I think his apparent clairvoyance is this simple: if he and his congregation do not like the literal interpretation of certain scriptures, it must be allegory or metaphor! How convenient.
