Yes, he was a pharasee previous to his conversion.  How much more
traditional could a Jew get in those days.  Although it is true that
after his conversion he seems to have shed much of the legalist philosphy
of the pharasees, it is quite possible that some of it carried over,
especially when he was talking about an entirely different subject and
brought homosexuality in as a bad example.  (After all the ruling class,
Romans, had a very bisexual culture and some of the prejedices may have
been coming out in his statements also.)

It is true that Christianoids use this kind of statement to justify
every word in their 2K-year-old "good-book".  That is why the earth
is flat, the world was created in 168 literal hours, and bigots like
you discriminate against people like me.  As I have said before, though,
when I was made, I was made gay.  If your bigoted idea of God doesn't
like me this way He has to go.  Not me, I'm real.
