Nothing gets me angrier than when a high and mighty Christian douche bag condemns homosexuality/homosexuals. These people cherry pick verses from their bible, and use certain verses to hurl at people and practices that make them feel uncomfortable.
There are so many no-no's in the bible, it's ridiculous! Here's a list of things god doesn't like- and there is so much more, but you get the picture:
Also, shrimp is an unclean abomination according to two verses in Leviticus and Deuteronomy:
Shrimp, crabs, lobsters, all that- god no like.
It's okay to eat things from the water with no fins and scales. No Christians are protesting outside of seafood restaurants. Why? Because sea creatures without scales and fins are tasty, and it doesn't harm people to eat these things. (unless they're allergic, of course)
Being gay is okay, because people are born gay. This isn't an opinion. It's a fact. Every gay man I have ever known claimed they knew they were gay from a very early age, and science is collecting a mound of evidence that all these heterosexuals are giving birth to gay babies:

There are also phenomenon such as homosexuality in the animal kingdom, aside from humans.

Homosexuality happens.
Think science has this one wrong? Argue with me. Please.
It's a well-established fact that being gay is not a choice, but being a cherry-picking, bible thumping, judgmental, ignorant bigot is a choice. Just because you're a christian and you think it's immoral, does not mean that it isn't natural. In recent history, the only people who have been harmed by homosexuality are the homosexuals themselves. They are the victims of needless hatred and intolerance by people who are supposed to be followers of Jesus- who said we should love everyone. Condemning people, claiming to have insight in regards to the mind and heart of homosexuals, and telling them they weren't born gay, when they know they were, is absolutely abominable. Why? Because you wouldn't like it if they were doing that to you! Are they telling you that being straight is a choice? Are they telling you that you'll be punished by some patriarchal sky daddy because you're not just like them? No. They're not.
Homophobia is a manifestation of misunderstanding, ignorance, fear, and irrationality. Homosexuality is harmless. Bigotry is harmful and needless.
Present your best argument why you think this is incorrect.

Quote:9 These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
10 And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
11 They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
12 Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. -Lev 11:9-12
Quote:9 These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
10 And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you. -Deuteronomy 14:9-10
