It is an Achilles Heel because I'm not the one cherry picking. I'm reading the context of Leviticus as a whole, not pulling out a verse here or there.
Leviticus was ritual law of the Jews. So why pull *one* gay verse out and ignore the others? Why is one ritual worth a thousand anti gay words and dozens of other rituals totally ignored?
The primary reason is because it's really convenient and pretty much ignores the witness of the entire Bible.
So, in fact, my argument is a slam dunk.
