Do you believe that this is the biblical corerct term to refer to gays? I just read like a 2 page thing on goodnewspost.com explaining to me why we should refer to gays as sodomites.
Personally I think It is a bit rude, But I was just wondering what your guys opinions on it are.

Re: Sodomites
I don't think it's a correct term. "Sodomy" refers to something different than homosexual sex, and I think Sodom itself was more atrocious for it's tendency to rape people, including angels, than for being gay.

Sodomite is used as a general term to describe somebody who is sexually imooral, (sodomy, one night stands, ect) but it seems to be used 98% of the time to describe homosexuals.
But then again they are committing the sin of sodomy so it seems like name does kind of fit.

They tried to......
Rememeber, they went to try to find 10 good men in sodom, then the residents of sodom said to Lot, give them to us so we can have sex with them, Lot said no, sodomites attacked, angels blinded the sodomites.
