Here are some straight facts on the subject from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
Thank you for the kind words and great information here from you as well.
There are so many sins and so many way people try to justify them, but reading meanings into the Bible that aren't there just doesn't work, it eventually fails. God has written His word so perfectly that in context there is not doubt about the message and there are always other confirming and supporting verses and chapters to support every concept God has laid out for us.
I think we argue and debate about sins so much because God has written His word in our hearts and when we deny Him and choose sin there is that ache that can't be quieted, that void that only God can fill and you either accept Him or go through life trying to fill that void with things that don't fit and fail to complete us like only God can.
It seems so common and also so sad that those walking in sin often view God and the Bible as "some religion or group" that is trying to control them and "ruin their fun" instead of what it really is - God trying to protect them from their own sin nature and the consequences of sinful choices, what ever that sin may be.
A common thread I see is that when we are walking in sin, deep down inside, we feel unlovable on some subconscious level, so maybe it's harder to understand "why" God would love us so much, or even at all.
But God does love us, each one of us, so very very much. He wants to bless us with the full measure of His love and blessings and that is one of the great things that those who are willfully walking in sin are missing out on.
It's so simple...
God wants each of us to know Him through His only begotten Son - Jesus, to acknowledge Him as the one and only living God and realize that we are all sinners and need a savior and to ask Him for forgiveness, He wants us to invite Him into our hearts and lives and their by become one of His children.
But it doesn't end there, true surrender and acceptance of God through Jesus Christ is the beginning of a personal relationship with God, one that desires growth. Seeking to know more about God through His word, fellowship with other Christians and a desire to do Gods work are all natural results or consequences of being saved. And the stronger that relationship gets the easier it is to recognize sin and the hold sin can have on our flesh gets weaker and weaker - No longer a slave to sin!
Accepting Jesus and having a personal relationship with God is something that is so truly incredible, God's love is a love so pure and strong, I wish I could more adequately describe it. When view sin through the Bible like a lens you can actually see it for what it is - a path to death and destruction.
Romans 6:12-23
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that ones slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
James 1
1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings.
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9 Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation, 10 but the rich in his humiliation, because as a flower of the field he will pass away. 11 For no sooner has the sun risen with a burning heat than it withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beautiful appearance perishes. So the rich man also will fade away in his pursuits.
12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted by God; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.
19 So then,[a] my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.
26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this ones religion is useless. 27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
