No, we don't. There are no inherent health risks involved with homosexuality. The actual risks involved are due to unsafe sex which are about the same as straight sex. There is no medical basis for this claim. This is a propagandist agenda that you are buying into.

So the rate of STD's would've been about the same.
To your first post...How did the ancient Israelites practice "safe" sex? So you're actually not refuting the claim that their are risks involved in homosexual activity.
To the second one...it would depend on which STDs you are talking about. But seeing that we were just discussing homosexual (since you atheist chose to single them out) your statement is a moot point. You saying the rate would have been equal (with no proof) does not refute the fact that homosexual activity was a danger to ancient Israelite society.
