There's something unnatural about it.I believe that if one looks at the Bible closely, homosexuality is considered a sin... along with idolatry**, premarital sex, gossip (did you hear about what Sarah did? We need to pray for her because she...) and so on. It's mentioned in the NT, otherwise you could say it's a sin in the same catogory of eating pork (which most Christians do!)
I think they enjoy demonizing other people for special "extra-bad" sins because it points attention away from their own problems. It's not right, but sadly they do it anyway.
** Does setting special time aside for football, reading about it on the internet, posting about it on FB, wearing certain clothes because of football, and going through certain sets of "game day" rituals count as "worshipping" football? That's more time/effort than a lot of them spend on their "faith."
Oh, and I loved that "Babble belt" term. I hadn't heard it before!
