Oh, and yes I did thank you.

We only know homosexuality is a 'sin' because the bible tells us it is. Of course the bible is full of all sorts of bullshit, so I've got no fucking idea why anyone takes it seriously. Maybe if Jesus actually wrote it himself. But I mean fuck. The text is so fucked up that you can't just believe it because it 'inspires' people. Fuck, Catcher in the Rye inspired Mark David Chapman to shoot Lennon. The Quran inspired 9/11. I wouldn't say inspiration has to come from God.

Good NEWS Everyone!

He (Jesus Did!) He said in Mat 5:
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You must not commit adultery.’[b] 28 But I tell you that if a man looks at a woman and wants to sin sexually with her, he has already committed that sin with her in his mind.

Keep in mind Jesus not only support the OT view on sex outside of marriage He takes it a step further, and even forbad it in the mind. Which means the Only Sex one can have is in the confines of a sanctified marriage. which means ALL Other Forms of Sex (this includes Homosexual sex) have been forbidden!

When you say 'sanctified marriage', does that include only those marriages that involved a Christian ceremony?

You missed my fucking point by a mile.  Jesus didn't write the fucking bible.  He didn't write a goddamn thing.  So how the fuck do you know what he said, other than that the Bible said that he did?  The bible is full of bullshit, and there's no reason to believe a word of it.

God makes things have a purpose, then doesn't allow us to choose whether or not to use them for that purpose. Since we have no input, unless he's constantly surprised by what happens, he knew all along whether or not we'd use things for their purpose.

We're a puppet show that he's made self aware. Once the show is over he punishes some of the puppets for things they had no say in.

What a dick. And by the same argument, he's designed me to think he's a vile monster. He's made me write this, saying what a lunatic he is. And then he'll punish me for his decision. There's no point preaching to me either since I have no decisions to make; although people don't have the choice whether to preach or not either.

What a bizarre belief system.

It's almost like he's a crude anthropomorphic creature created by ancients in order to give an explanation for things they didn't really understand....

No, it means the marriages that follow the scriptural requirements, one does not have to be 'christian' to have a sanctified marriage
