Wrote: The reason homosexuality is not mentioned specifically in the Bible is because if fell within a general category of sexual sin, porneia, that includes all forms of sexual sin and perversity, including heterosexual sodomy and adultery. But that's what you get when atheists read the bible because they're just looking for loopholes to justify their basest desires.
Two thoughts: Firstly, I don't think clarity is too much to ask for from a book like the bible; if god had bothered to have a little more of that in his works you might not have thousands of splinter denominations around today, and moreover we wouldn't have people like you, Chad, who make these big stark claims about what the words really mean, but have absolutely no means beyond their own presuppositions to demonstrate that their interpretation aligns with the original authorial intent. Essentially, if the bible was actually clear then you wouldn't need to fart out these interpretations into the ether like this, demanding that they're true because you say they are.
And secondly, your last sentence is utter trash: atheists read the bible, a book they don't believe to be binding or true, in order to find loopholes in rules they don't believe to be authoritative, so they can justify desires that require no justification to begin with, as we don't accept the moral component to them that you do? Really? And you're going to make this sweeping statement already in possession of the knowledge that at least some atheists are not gay, and thus have no need to justify the acts you're claiming they do?
I mean, I know you're just shitposting because you don't have anything of substance to add, but fuck, you could at least attempt some form of cogency.
