Humanity's DNA is corrupted. Because of that we find all the problems we have with health, etc. If it wasn't corrupted we would live much longer, and have less problems. Homosexuality and DNA are not related so that wouldn't even be an issue.

Corrupted with what? And when did it get corrupted? Details, Chris, details! Since humans are living longer on average now than at any time in history seems to indicate that it might be a good thing if this half-ass assertion is true. Oh, and don't give us any of that crap from the Babble about people living 700, 800, and 900 years. It never happened.
Bearing in mind that DNA just informs us over the physical, and, to a lesser extent, psychological traits of the human being, plus, yes, a series of inherited complications that may arise(but which are totally determined, no matter in which circunstances the person is born), I would like to laugh at the redefinition of "corruption". Is this idiot suggesting that our DNA can be bribed or can fall into an abyss of vice?, too many words to look smart. And I would like to see my grandparents or our ancestors in the caves living longer than 40. His comment about "problems" is utterly insane, bearing in mind that we´re reaching 100 years old so easily. From that onwards, I think that his statements on homosexuality can´t be accurate.
It's bit hard to tell but I did take a look at the orginal thread and it seems that Cris here is talking about actual faulty genes, that cause problems.
"Ummm....hello? Sickle cell disease, heart disease, etc... Most diseases are caused by genetics."
And the homosexuality was a comment to earlier poster who was talking about homosexuality and DNA.
Not really a fundie comment, I would guess =/
Hey, fundies are learning biology and genetics now!
Oh, wait...never mind. I was confusing knowing the acronym "DNA" with understanding something about it. Psh, silly me.
At first it seems like he's saying something vaguely reasonable.
"Humanity's DNA is corrupted."
Ok, so far so good. In a way, it is true, because people who wouldn't ordinarily survive in nature can live and pass on their technically defective genes (heck, my terrible nearsightedness puts me among them). If we suddenly lost control of our enviornments, most of us would be ill-adapted for life in, as my bio teacher calls it, the real world. We are weakening ourselves to some degree.
"Homosexuality and DNA are not related..."
And then it all goes bye-bye down the drain.
Yes, blah blah blah THE FALL. It is hilarious that Christians explain the natural and indifferent world in terms of a perfect and benevolent agency who has decided to let us deal with an unending shitstorm because our ancestors were bad. And they don't even realize that "nature just straight doesn't give a fuck!" is a more parsimonious explanation than "God is good and all, but he is also pissed! [And Satan, for some reason]".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
