But that's just it, isn't it: some Christians think God considers homosexuality / homosexual sex to be an abomination. Some don't. Some are undecided. If it were as clear cut as you make it out to be, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Again, this isn't as clear-cut as you make out. It's pretty standard practice to research the opposition's side before you lambaste it.
Indeed. But that doesn't tell us who, if any, has got the right interpretation. Are you the fallible one? Is the pro-gay Christian got the fallacious one? By what objective measure do we determine which interpretation of which translation of which instance of the Bible is the correctly interpreted, translated, and compiled Bible?
This is just more evidence of the moral decadence of homosexuality

Your parents named you after a parrot?
That would hold some weight if Christianity had remained one cohesive church over these past two millennia. But, over time, we have seen schism after schism, sect after sect, form and divide. If God is nudging us in the right direction, why do splinter groups keep forming? Indeed, why not poof the true Bible into our laps? Sometimes I think the Muslims got the right ideaWell, the Catholic answer is by the Tradition preserved through the history of the Church. The millions of Christians who have testified to the same God throughout the centuries before us, and of course with a nudge here and there by the Holy Spirit, help guide us to not only the correct interpretation, translation, and compilation of the Bible, but to all of God's "Word". And hey -- the Church helped shape the Bible in use today. That should score some brownie points in the interpretation and compilation departments.
.I find that a group of people, especially large, international, for-profit organisations, are more fallible than any one man. After all, can any one man falter so hard as a government, or a nation? The mistakes of one man affect only those around him, but the mistakes of Christianity have global repercussions.
The best part is, there isn't a damn thing you can do to stop me from being a poly lesbian.
