Part 2 explores the death sentence prescribe by the Old Testament for a myriad of trivial infraction that by modern-day standards we wouldn't even consider misdemeanors. The episode concludes with the Old Testament's view on homosexuality in addition to how modern-day Christians have taken this archaic law and used it as a tool to spread discrimination and homophobia.
Note: Episode 19 completes the miniseries on "Religion in America" (episodes 17-19). In the next set of videos I will turn my focus to exploring the issues of "Morality" and then "Faith". Each of these topics will have 4-5 episodes.
