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.
You saying that it'd have been a danger to ancient Israelite society (with no proof) does not mean it should have been outlawed.
