So obviously, (unless you consider every law of Leviticus to still be intact like certain kinds of fabric can't be worn, etc. etc.) sin has a pattern. I've said this before. All sin harms the sinner or someone else somehow, not neccesarily right then, but it'll hurt eventually. Mentally or physically (spiritually too obviously). This pattern stops at homosexuality.
ARGUMENTS OF HOMOSEXUAL HARM:
AIDS - No. AIDS is something you contract. It seems to me that people have this notion that AIDS magically appears when you're having sex. Wrong. One person must already have it. Meaning like heterosexuality, if you only have ONE partner, it should mean no harm.
No Kids - I don't really count this as harm, mostly because I don't see anything wrong with a marriage without kids. Besides, they can adopt. There are hundreds of kids in the adoption system that would love a home right now. So what if they can't make children? If the world were flat, we'd be pushing kids off the edge by now.
And thats it...
I've seen some people insist that incest doesn't have any consequences, but it does. For one thing, any children you have is most likely going to have disorders. And second, you should already have predetermined love for your sibling/parent/blood relative. That sort of love doesn't extend into intimate love. It may expand, but it never becomes a completely DIFFERENT love.
Fact is, homosexuality is the ONLY sin that has NO chance of recoil (unless it's combined with adultery or prostitution). So this is why it's one of the only sins I question. All the others are fairly obvious. I don't want to get hurt or be untrusted. But homosexuality doesn't hurt you, no you mistrusts you. If it weren't for an overzealous community out to destroy every little different they find, homosexuality would blend in almost perfectly with heterosexuality.
I've said this before. Why would God make a law like that? Why would He condemn something that doesn't take away from and most probably actually ADDS to society. We lack any intimate love in society. Divorce rate is skyrocketing. It might help if we could stop judging for a second and think about it. This is important. God doesn't make sin for the sake of bossing us around or "testing" us. That's what obstacles are for. God makes sins to protect us from whats dangerous.
So you know, I've said all this before, as well as many others. I've never gotten a direct answer or retort (except for the usual verse).
