Why are you Against Homosexuality (to theists)

[abaris]

The OP insinuated that all Christians hate homosexuals.  Typical of the BS that I see here.  You guys lumping us all together.  If I said something all inclusive about atheists, the forum would unleash hell on me for doing so.  

First, OP is 12 and so I usually hold back a little, unless they say something fundamentally obnoxious or stupid. Secondly, you have to make a distinction between the religious doctrines and religious people. The holy books of all three major religions contain passages against homosexuality and virtually ask for the death and damnation of gay people. I'm certainly the last person to say every last christian, muslim or jew are doing, acting or even believing in their books to the last letter. But the can of wirms is opened, since the written word is the law for certain people, who go out of their way to at least discriminate against certain groups of people and even go so far as to preach hatred and at least insinuate taking violent actions.

The OP question would have been better phrased in asking, why is your religion, your god against homosexuality. But the christian god, only to give the example I'm most familar with, is against many things. Things not even literalists follow through on. Virtually on the same page as the passage on homosexuality is the damnation of eating shellfish, shaving one's hair or beard, wear cloth of different fabrics and a few other so called divine laws called abominations in the eyes of god.

So the question is valid, why homosexuality is singled out by quite a number of religious people.
