Christianity; the World's Most Violently Persecuted Religion

[Angrboda]

your claim that the punishment of the act is an implied condemnation of homosexually oriented persons fails.  

I disagree, to say gay sexual desire is fine, as long as you live a lie, and deny who you are by never acting on it, is a condemnation of being gay. 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. 

That's nice.

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.

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.

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.

It matters with regards to whether the proposition that the deity described by the bible and Christianity condemns the acts, regardless of sexual orientation or not, regardless of whether any such deity actually exists.

This is an example of moving the goalposts -- recasting a simple question about a proposition and its logical inputs into a question about what matters existentially.
