Summary
It's not uncommon for the same religion to serve both a given morality and its opposite. Thus, while pacifists use the commandment "thou shalt not kill" to justify non-violence, others do not hesitate to kill in the name of God. Similarly, when it comes to accepting homosexuals, some will justify their rejection by citing a verse in Leviticus which equates their intimate practices with an abomination, while others will accept them in the name of a God who is nothing but love.
