You're right. It doesn't say "stoned". However, "they shall
surely be put to death", is, how shall we say, a superset of
"stoned to death". Therefore, I was close enough.
Leviticus 20
13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman,
both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely
be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

Anyone who thinks that religion is Sooo Eeevil should remember:
- The number of Soviet citizens that the "religion is the opiate
of the masses" Soviets killed or let starve is between 20M and
60M.
- The number of Chinese killed or allowed to starve by the
Chinese Communists is estimated to be as many as 66M.
Now *that* is True Evil.
