[Why should homosexuality be a sin?]
1. This is not up for a vote. We do not get to vote on what is and isn't sin.
2. It is a sin because God said so.

Laurel, actually Leviticus says, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind; it is abomination."
But you don't 'lie with' a man as you 'lie with' a woman, so this can't be forbidding homosexuality, it must refer to hetrosexual anal sex.
;-)
Points one and two are really the same point, Chrissy.
As sin is an offence to God, and God doesn't exist, then sin doesn't exist.
This is not up for a vote. We do not get to vote on what is and isn't sin.
Really? So why do we only ever hear about how evil homosexuality is, not about how wicked it is to eat shellfish? And why is it that normal people, who just happen to love somone of the same sex are evil, while the church sheltered all of those abusive priests?
Really? So then I suppose you're in favor of keeping all the other bizarre old-testament laws? I've got a suggestion where you could start, in that case:
Lev 19:19 "You will keep my laws. You will not wear a garment made from two kinds of fabric."
Time to get out there and stone those heathens wearing t-shirts made from cotton-poly blend!
The moron doesn't even really know the reasons, god said its a sin because other cultures practice it in their religions, heck lev 1:1 says why everying thing is an abomination, because it leads the israelites away from god!
i swear for people who say they read the bible, they really don't
It is a sin because God said so
No, it's a sin because the Bible said so, and the Bible is the word of God because you said so, and you're full of shit so the whole argument collapses.
actually he didn't. The puritan laws written by Moses et al did, but God only gave the 10 commandments, not the 200 or so puritan laws. Besides, if you've eaten a hamburger you're just as screwed (figuratively speaking)
Okay, if God descends form the Heavens, taps me on the nose, and says "Don't be gay!" I will give credence to your statement. Until then, it's between me, and him. Butt. The fuck. Out. (ZOMG, accidental innuendo.)
1) Yes it is a vote, seeing as how we live in a democracy, not a dictatorship.
2) Playing the God card does not always mean you're right.
"This is not up for a vote. We do not get to vote on what is and isn't sin."
Maybe, but if you can't prove that God exists, we need not worry about what his opinion on the matter is. :)

"1. This is not up for a vote. We do not get to vote on what is and isn't sin.

1. Do we get to vote for who we want as a 'God'? No? Then he has no authority over us. If he existed. All he has to do is prove otherwise, to say so. Don't see him doing so, therefore how can a nonexistent deity tell us what to do?
2. Certainly here in the UK, since 1967, homosexuality is legal. Our Parliament, and thus the Rule of Law says so.
And there's not one fucking thing you can do about it, Ruptured Retards. Deal with it.
@Mr. Vorhias
"So? We out-vote God."
There's 6 billion + of us, and only one of him (even if he existed). The majority is superior to the minority .
@Nowonmai
"Jesus didn't say diddly about homosexuality. Why are you relying on the Old Testament when you are a "Christian"?"
And last time I checked the Ten Commandments, it had absolutely no mention of 'Thou shalt not have sex with people of the same gender'. Funny that.
And not in a 'Funny-ha-ha' way, neither.
Just keep picking those Biblical cherries BigChrisFilm & all your fundie ilk (ergo, you = WBC. QED. Say otherwise, you contradict yourself). We Atheists will pick those Scriptural & dogmatic nits.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
