Trivia
- [13:17]The passage that Mary Griffith refers to is from Leviticus 20:13 and goes: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he would with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." However. the other verses in that chapter also say the same things about adultery, and even bestiality.
- [1:03:10]She quotes Leviticus 18:22 which has a similar passage which goes "22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
Quotes
