We owe them no apologies
After all, we're right
To take away their license
To a happy life together
Because Leviticus said so
Leviticus said a lot of things
Not to lie about weight
I suppose anorexics are doomed
To the same fate as gays
Because Leviticus said so
If you have a rash, you're unclean
Unless it covers your body
I suppose skin diseases are sinful
Avoid people with acne
Leviticus did say so
And a discharge is wrong as well
I suppose teenaged boys are doomed
But I thought males were superior
What would I know?
I just read Leviticus
Jesus said judge not
My friend hates a boy for being bi
Hates me for being Wiccan
And hates Kerry for not being Bush
Listen to what He said
Jesus would befriend anyone
Not out of pity or pride
So why can't we all be friends
Without preaching to one another
Listen to what He said
My friend ignores the Old Testament
Says it's not important anymore

It's in the Old Testament
The one most people ignore
Part of believing in Jesus
Is believing what He said
To love your enemies
Denying them rights is not love
Neither is avoiding them
