I didn't realize there's more than one admonition in the New Testament to kiss each other.

Romans 16:16 — "Greet one another with a holy kiss."

1 Corinthians 16:20 — "Greet one another with a holy kiss."

2 Corinthians 13:12 — "Greet one another with a holy kiss."

1 Thessalonians 5:26 — "Greet all God's people with a holy kiss."

1 Peter 5:14 — "Greet one another with a kiss of love."

It's not unclear. There's no moral reason not to. It's in "God's Word." But Christians just don't do it. No discussion. No quibbling over cultural context. No one's saying "Hey, maybe we should be doing this because it's in the Bible." It's mentioned more times than homosexual sex is brought up in the New Testament.

I don't think we should have to argue anti-gay clobber verses with anybody until we see straight conservative Christian men regularly smooching each other.
