You really should study your bible more thoroughly before you call somebody ignorant. In my experience, people who don't believe the bible know a lot more about it than people who do.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
