Prove the bible is unnecessary, atheist / Prove it is necessary, theists

Did he need the bible to determine that they were only after exclusive rights? Exhibit B. If he'd never read the bible, would he be a degenerate? Exhibit C. Has he actually read the bible and -is he- a degenerate? Exhibit D.
(lol, I can do this all night)

I've been pressing him on it ever since I last talked to you. I came back into his room and just asked him if he thinks homosexuals are degenerates. He seems to have a really hard time answering this question. He says "some of the things they do are degeneracy" but he dodges the question when I press him on what that means. He briefly said "they ruin the marriage institution" I said what is so important about the marriage institution? He didn't answer that, he just said "okay, that was irrelevant". I told him that literally the only thing homosexuals are guilty of is being attracted to the same sex and fucking the same sex. I explained to my brother that homosexuality develops at birth when the fetus is bombarded with estrogen or testosterone which determines all kinds of stuff about sex and orientation. I also pressed him on some stuff about transgender issues. I told him that they are literally in danger in our country. I told him about my transgender friend who got beaten up at school and decided to leave because of it. He said "I'm sure some people actually are transgender, like you're friend (who's my friend too) is probably legitimately transgender. My problem is with the people who try to make it their identity and the pride parades". I didn't press him on why pride parades are bad, which no in retrospect could have been an easy target. My transgender friend would get pissed if she heard my brother saying all this shit btw, I'm pretty certain.

He always seems to have a way of avoiding me on the issues of this stuff. He said he'd talk to me about it later. I let him have some space because I didn't want to become an invade instead of a visitor in his room. I'm still waiting for the next argument to ensue so I can have a real discussion with him about this.

In that same conversation I was just talking about that I forgot to add, he also said "there's probably some people who are religious that are against gay people, but most of the country is protestant which is inclusive of lgbt people. That's not the only reason why people are against gay people.". I told him that it is definitely the biggest reason why they are. He didn't have a response for that. He just said "I already have my own ideas for this stuff". I told him I want desperately to understand his ideas. That was right before I left him alone.
