In this country, it is a violation of federal law to discriminate based on color, culture, sexual orientation, etc. If a business refuses to serve a particular person based on these parameters, they are violating the law. As for churches and judges and the like, who cares? If I wanted to marry my partner, it would have been in a very private Buddhist ceremony. Or by a justice of the peace. How does that affect your life or your views of the world? Please explain in detail how my ability to marry my partner would in any way whatsoever affect your life such that it would have a negative effect? And spare me the desolution of the family unit. The number of Christians divorcing FAR outweighs that of gay couples.

Hold on Jo....read the title of the thread....I have quoted chapter and verse of the bible that references homosexuality in accordance of what the OP is about..... That you do not agree with the judgement of homosexuality of the bible is your business....just say so and blame God, or the prophets for their not being enlightened LGBT supporters...but not posters who are just honestly explaining what their religion teaches about it...
If that is so, can you explain why so many heterosexual couples enjoy anal sex?

You are the one that discriminates and judges...you are against everyone whom you judge to be not to be as anti-theist as yourself... Accepting the moral teaching of the bible is not discrimination....it is not I who judges you.....but religious truth...the truth of the ages...
That part about not being you who judges is what I was responding to. Religious truth is not the one judging here, It is posters that view homosexuality as immoral or wrong that are judging. You are the one taking a passage from a book written by men and using that to say that anyone with the temerity to be gay is abnormal. That is judging.
Which God? Whose version of same? Yours? Mine? How do you know there is only 'one' God? Are you privy to information the rest of the world does not have?

Only deviates......the same rule would apply.... except it would be a man lying with a woman as they would with a homosexual man.....

No you are mistaken....I am not the judge....the bible judges them as it plainly says that homosexuality is an abomination.... You are also judging the bible as having no divine input...shame on you...how do you know this?
What an absolute bunch of pigs swallow. Are you aware that many women need to have lubrication also before sex, and I mean vaginally. The entire colon is responsible for much of the immune system or perhaps you have not heard of probiotics. The small and large intestines are full of a particular type of cell that leads to the production of T cells. There is no difference between the anus and the vagina when it comes to STDs other than when someone has more violent types of sex and that can and does include vaginal penetration.

"Deviates"? You seem to have a slightly unhealthy interest in other peoples' sexual habits.
And its does not mean he disapproved either. The only one with this obsession with the issue was Paul, begging the question of why he was so much against women and other issues.

You do come across as being very judgemental though.

One supreme God Jo....God is omnipresent....there is no room for a second.... Of course there is a Celestial hierarchy.....but these and all that exists live, move, and have their being in the omnipresence of the one omnipresent God..
Even a cursory examination of that time period shows students that much of what was incorporated into the Bible came from older sources, such as the Oracle and other, older religions. The concept of Christ has debatable origins with Horus and Osiris.

I notice you keep portraying your religious beliefs as "facts". Unfortunately they're not.

Source please? Or is this just one more of your opinions? Its fine if it is but have the courage to admit it is your aversion than pointing to something that is NOT in the Bible.

The link that I posted about the animal homosexuality myth wasn't my own work, and I believe you overlooked it on purpose to accuse me of not presenting proof.

Because there was no proof in that video.
