It tells gay people there is something wrong with them if they act on on their innate sexual desires. Sex between consenting adults who happen to be gay harms no one, that's a simple fact.(December 14, 2024 at 3:33 pm)The Architect Of Fate Wrote: First off I said nothing about my needs, I pointed out one can guess how the culture would respond to expression of a desire to commit an act they clearly condemn without the use of a time machine.
Second, You clearly have a desire that's related to paying taxes. The desire for public service or to not go to jail for example or a desire to fulfill the social contract those are desires also again if a person in biblical times went around saying I'm willing to fuck another guy out of some related desire I'm pretty sure the response wouldn't be positive because they don't seem to have positive opinion of that act.
your claim that the punishment of the act is an implied condemnation of homosexually oriented persons fails.
Quote:And I've already given you alternative guesses. My guesses don't align with yours in every instance so the guesswork is not very telling.You seem to think simply making the claim, makes it so. In order for a deity's opinion to matter, it would necessarily need to exist, and there is no objective evidence any deity exists, or that the bible isn't just another man made book. What's moot is that a book condemns people from living as who they are, for no rational or reason.
For that matter, since the bible is primarily exposition of the revealed truths of God, not men, what the average person of the time thinks is somewhat moot. It's God's opinion that matters.
