Homosexuality

[nailit]

Why do most religions consider homosexuality a sin worthy of death and eternal punishment?
Never really understood the 'reason' behind this way of thinking.
Ive had a few homosexual friends over the years and they have been great people to know. Its a fact that they havn't 'chosen' their sexuality any more than Ive 'chosen' mine. We are what we are.
Why would God (of whatever religion) who supposedly created an unimaginably large and diverse universe care a jot about what two consenting adults get up to in the privacy of their bedroom?
To date there have been over 600 species of animals that have shown to exhibit homosexual behaviour so why are humans any different?
Would very much like to hear from any religionists on this site (or anyone for that matter)
Thanks

[ummmm]

Really? I've never heard a gay person talk about their antic in any more detail than a straight person.

And your avatar is of a lady with her legs spread.....is that not shouting about your antics?

[PankySmooch]

Why whenever homosexuality is mentioned do people refer to "bedroom antics"?

Fgs ummm, am on my back reading, silly

That has always puzzled me too Panky - when introduced to someone the last thing I think is 'what did they do in the bedroom last night', it's a weird concept.

[ummmm]

I know Panky....people seem obsessed with gay sexand what they do our do not do. I find that quite strange.

[Mamyalynne]

I always think of a Gynae exam , sorry Tambo.

[ummmm]

Excuse typos, I'm on the tablet.

[DaisyNonna]

Never even noticed Tambo.
Do some people see fornication everywhere?

[Mamyalynne]

I'm just on tablets.

[tamborine]

Blame Ed, he wont let me change.

[Mamyalynne]

We will.

Imo, just leave them to it. God would send them to Brighton anyhow.

[tamborine]

I was banned when I changed the icon, Ed checked my alternatives & refused all. Now Ive lost the passwords etc. So its put up etc

[PankySmooch]

I'll get me coat and go to specsavers

[tamborine]

Tamborine, //Jesus never produced offspring//

We don’t know that.

//… and circulated within male companions.//

Not true. There were several women among his followers.

To answer the question "Why do most religions consider homosexuality a sin worthy of death …"

Because God said that is the penalty for homosexuality - allegedly.
