Huggy, you can't dodge the fact that the sins of Sodom are well-spelled-out in the Bible, and focusing only on the gay-rape scene (which Lot apparently thought his daughters would appease as a counter-offer, indicating whatever was happening was unlikely to be a crowd of full-time homosexuals, eh?), and try to claim that these are the days of Sodom because of some "homosexual agenda" to have their rights recognized and their sub-culture accepted more by the mainstream culture.
You know, like the African-American community had to do, back in the 1960s?
When you keep saying "homosexuals" (and trans people) as if they are a monolithic bloc of people, you're talking exactly the way Klansmen do about your community. I find it deeply disturbing to see your otherwise brilliant mind destroyed by the prejudices your religious indoctrination has insinuated into your thought processes. Or maybe just sad. You seem like an alright guy, in potential.

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
