Kill them

no sex at all (for those who seek enlighten/monks)

stick anything that moves.

Jews also had a death sentence tied to homosexuality.

Quote: It would seem, for the most part, however, that christians are a huge group against it. So, from a layman's POV, I would say that christians continue to be a catalyst in the war against gay marriage, or gays in general.

Christianity simply identifies it as a sin, just like any other and requires repentance from it.
In essence Christianity has the least serious response to Homosexuality out of those who see it as a sin.

This is simply wrong.

Quote:Currently, the issue of homosexuality in Hinduism is controversial, especially amongst Hindus in countries where homosexuality is generally accepted. Hindu views of homosexuality are varying and diverse, in part because the accepted Hindu religious texts do not explicitly mention homosexuality.

Homosexuality is also a complex matter in Hinduism because of the many types of religious life. In general, "twice-born" Hindus are prohibited from homosexual acts (maithunam pumsi), such as in Manusmrti 11:174, which mentions both men and women.

On the other hand, the famous Kama Sutra states that homosexual sex "is to be engaged in and enjoyed for its own sake as one of the arts." In general, then, the Hindu evaluation of homosexuality depends heavily on the context.

"Least serious"? Leviticus says to kill them. Seems pretty serious to me.

I think that's a pretty good sign they don't take it any more serious than the atheists do.  Funny the atheists are HONEST about it, ain't it ??

What's funny is your lack of a basic fundamental understanding between 40,000 religions represented by the one bible, and yet you speak as if you were an expert.

Again Old Testament Judaism Identifies Homosexuality as a Death penalty offense.

Or are you one of those 'smart atheist' who does not understand the bible represents two completely different religions?

Christianity Per Romans 1 identifies Homosexuality as a sin (One among a list of many sins). and Per Romans two tells the christian not to judge/Act against those who sin as we are all guilty of this very same list on one level or another.
