The bible describes homosexuality as an abomination and says all homosexuals are going to hell. Look at what happened with Sodom and Gomorrah.

It's almost inevitable really.

You start a thread about American politics somewhere someone is going to bring up Christians and Homosexuality.

I should base a drinking game around it.

It may as well say that, since it already said it was wrong.

I'm done.

Well it's a pretty huge issue over here so...

It not mine as well say that, it DOES say that.

"You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination" - Leviticus 18:22

"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." - Leviticus 20:13

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." - 1st Corinthians. 6:9-10

Here are some Biblical contradictions:

ON THE PERMANENCY OF THE EARTH
"... the earth abideth for ever." -- Ecclesiastes 1:4
"... the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." -- 2Peter 3:10

ON SEEING GOD
"... I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." -- Genesis 32:30
"No man hath seen God at any time..."-- John 1:18

ON DEALING WITH PERSONAL INJURY
"...thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. " -- Exodus 21:23-25
"...ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." -- Matthew 5:39en God at any time..."-- John 1:18

ON CIRCUMCISION
"This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised." -- Genesis 17:10
"...if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing." -- Galatians 5:2

ON FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
"Honor thy father and thy mother..."-- Exodus 20:12
"If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. " -- Luke 14:26

And yet for some reason, many people want to take the Bible literally. Also, they profess that God was the author, and therefore it must be accurate, but isn't it so that Jesus was the only son of God, and since he didn't write it, how can they claim it is without error?

No one claims he's the author they say its the word of god and the people who wrote it had some divine experience where god told them what to write or it was written by the disciples who traveled basically everywhere with Jesus.

No, the New Testament wasn't started being written until around 100 A.D.

Nah it was much sooner then that but it was still AD. I think it was around 50ish AD. I don't know the explanation behind that and frankly I've never cared to study the history behind the bible.

I know that it says those things.

Well uh...then why are you trying to say the bible isn't against homosexuality? I mean if you're saying don't do it, calling it an abomination and eternally damning it then obviously you don't agree with it.
