Atheists are Intolerant

[Abishalom]

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.

They didn't and yes I am.

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.

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

Actually no you're not. The claim is that homosexual activity was a danger to society for the previously mentioned reasons. Your idea of refuting this "heterosexuals have the same STD rates as homosexuals". We are not even comparing homosexuals to heterosexuals. That is an utterly failed attempt at addressing the claim.

Well we don't know that the STD rates were the same back then as they are now (so you cannot prove that). But we know that there is risk involved in homosexual activities. Now add the fact that they could not protect themselves and less advanced medically. Unless you're actually insisting that there are no risks involved in unprotected homosexual activity. Now you're not doing that are you?
