Men committed indecent acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Romans I, Verse 27
What translation is this?

Is he alluding to wars? Because we all know that sex done right is indecent, but war is perverse.

"...in just the same way--neglecting that for which nature intends women--burned with passion towards one another, men practising shameful vice with men, and receiving in their own selves the reward which necessarily followed their misconduct." (Weymouth NT)
Hmm. I can't quite decide if this is an insult to anyone with a vagina, or simply means "came up their asses without a condom." At least now I comprehend why guys like that Idaho politician seem to feel that passionless [and partially clothed] sex removes the concept of 'vice' from their hobbies.

When syphilis first appeared in Europe, it was considered a special plague that God created to punish sexual immorality. I have seen images of The Virgin holding Baby Jesus in one arm and syphilis sores falling from her other hand onto the sinners below on earth.

Here is an image I found on the net. It is Baby Jesus using his power of syphilis rays on the people below. I hope this is close enough. I think this was the image I saw a few years back and mistakenly remembered Mary as the one with the power of syphilis rays. Here is a source for the image below.
Edit: I have another picture in mind of Mary who was the one distributing syphilis sores. I know it is out there but if you want to see it, you can wade through the billions of pictures of Mary on the web.

Interesting, in a post-Reformation kinda way. Who really knows fer sure WTF he's visiting upon the heretics? Syph might have been salient, but it mostly stood for brain-rot, since it was completely untreatable in that era. The message is "Worship me or go mad."

Thanks, but no. I managed to find a 3-star Mary for asdf1971, so you can back up your own shit with this Plague Icon you speak of. I really am being honest about wanting to see it. I suppose I can trust your word that it exists, but I'm wondering about its context. I would rally lurv ta see a visual hagiographic that visits sickness on non-believers. They are so piquantly rare in Western religion.

If you had looked at the source link, you would know that the image is called "The Arrow of Syphilis" and is included in a book called "The Wages of Sin", a study of the interactions between sex, religion, and disease. The author has probably reproduced the image of Mary raining syphilis sores down upon the sexually immoral. I originally saw both of these images in an article refuting the idea that AIDS was a punishment from God for unauthorized sex. The Papist Jerry Falwells of an earlier era had used a similar line about syphilis.

Fnord, darling, you simply have to stop referring to Evangelicals as Papists. If Mary had the power to visit sickness on people, then I'll accept your context. As offensive and marginal as its purpose may have been in iconography, it clearly serves a greater purpose for punishing heretics.
I believe it was Sanford I and the Son of God who spake, "Beans and disease to you."
