Reminds me of the aftermath of Pope Joan (a woman who, disguised as a man, became Pope in 855 CE). The Roman Catholic church introduced a new ritual, Testiculos Habet (He has testicles). A newly elected pope would sit on a special chair whilst cardinals would grope underneath his robes to find his testicles, and then (upon finding them) declare testiculos habet et bene pendentes - "he has balls and they hang down well".
I do wonder whether this is also related to Deuteronomy 23:1, "He that is wounded in the stones [i.e. testicles], or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord."

Seems a bit harsh, I mean it's not exactly a lifestyle choice is it. For most anyway.
Verse 17 is equally frosty towards sodomites. Were the Midianites any more tolerant to them I wonder.

^^^ Verse 17 isn't about sodomites, but about temple prostitutes. Neither man nor woman may be a temple prostitute. ESV translates this as "None of the daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute, and none of the sons of Israel shall be a cult prostitute."

Either I didn't pay attention in school a few ages ago or Religious Teaching was a bit more thorough and strict in England compared to the Netherlands. Deuterium you find in heavy water and as for verse 17 the Wilhelmus only has 15.

ESV translates this as "None of the daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute, and none of the sons of Israel shall be a cult prostitute." Well the AKJV says "nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel". So I would say that is you sorted AyG.

Rumour has it, on instructions from papa frankie in the vatican, oirish priests are furiously scouring parish records for joe harts grannys birth certificate so they can palm him off as yet another bhoy coming home.
