Which God says that homosexuality is a sin? And I'm asking about cases where God actually comes down (either directly or indirectly) and says "no, that's a sin", not about cases where some guy says "nah, that's prolly a sin". Asking because I'm curious about how homosexuality is depicted in religious texts.
Christians say yawej says so. but yawej seems to say a lot of things and then literally change his mind so I pay more attention to what his followers do which is discriminate and hate. that said I did know a couple churches that were LGBTQ+ inclusive, so they probably had some interesting things to say about it
I know, right? The actual (purported) words of Jesus will fit on an index card. They can be further summarized to ‘Be excellent to each other. Wyld Stallyns rule!’
Interesting to see what's the original of the quote. I've seen one bibleist examined different Bible quotes and explained that in original (Greek) they're not related to homosexuality, and was against rape or promiscuity. And his take was there is nothing against homosexuality in Bible
I don't know much at all about the Bible, but is there a reason why in almost all the translations (and interpretations) it appears assumed that the reader is a man themselves? Like, what if a woman is reading? What does it mean then?

You don’t have to be gay to play butt games. It helps if you’re not a repressed prude though.

Allegedly, sodomy in general is what the bible guy takes issue with. I'll let you know when I catch fire.

I prefer buggery, It sounds more whimsical.

Christianity is about being understanding of other people's mistakes and not hating your enemy, yet the followers keep hating and discriminating 💀

OK as long as man doesn't fuck a man in the vagina it's good. Also lesbian are also not forbidden.

IIRC the original was aimed at pederasty, which was still common in Greece at the time.

I dunno but there are too many damn religions as there is. Humans love to make shit up to understand the world.

When I look back upon my life it’s always with a sense of shame. I’ve always been the one to blame.
