Salty, have you realized the amount of bending over backwards you've gone to try to justify homossexuality as wrong? I mean, deciding something is immoral usually is quite easy: Murder is wrong because you harm the victim and everyone around, you spark hatred, vengeance, and overall you are doing harm to the species. Its quite easy to do, no more rationalizations are needed. Now look how you need to create big constructs of reason ontop of shaky foundations, just to justify your belief about homossexuality. You are rationalizing over a prejudice. If you are a follower of christ as you claim, and assuming for a bit the legend is true, you are casting the first stone.
A gay man, facing a woman undressing in front of her will have no reaction, his 'tool' won't work, and he won't have desire. The same happens to me if a man undresses in front of me as an heterossexual man. And I would prefer to kill myself to having sex against my will with a man, just because someone deemed it 'normal'.
I'd say we have plenty more reason to deem religion immoral than we have to deem homossexuality wrong. Plenty of evidence there. And you know why I don't do that? Because if there is at least 1 good religious person, I have no right to judge all in a sweeping generalization, just because some people used religion to less honorable ends. I could say that religion is wrong! Lets forbid it? Of course not. Most atheists would like religion gone, its true, but most want it to go away by people's own reasoning, not ostracising them.
