Biblical References to Homosexuality

Leviticus 20:13: "If a man lies with a male as he would a woman, both of them have created an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."
In the bible, it states that man and woman are to be together and it forbids homosexuality for the reason that God put man and woman on the earth together for a purpose, the purpose being to create life. Many people now a day’s still believe in this theory that man and woman are to be together. Churches still preach it and kids are still brought up to learn it. The majority of our society is Christians, if Christians are still preaching that homosexuality is wrong, and then the idea of homosexuality is still going to be thought of as wrong to the majority of the people in the world. In the bible it also states that god created sex for reproduction as well as pleasure, the pleasure was mostly for the man, it couldn't of really of done anything for a woman.

In my opinion, I think it's kind of ridiculous that the majority of our country is living by what a book says. I don't believe that there is someone out there that can tell a person what is right or what is wrong, or a book nevertheless. I think it's wrong that the bible states in writing that if you are a homosexual then you have created an abomination and will be punished of it. In Romans 24:27 it states that if you are a homosexual then you will never be let into heaven unless you beg God to forgive you of your sins, not doing so means you have to much pride, which is the deadliest of the seven deadly sins.

I don't think that Christianity itself is wrong, I think some of the thing that they preach may be wrong, but I have nothing against the religion. Though Christianity is the largest religion practiced in the United States, statistics show that soon Muslim will be the largest religion practiced, besides that, many new religions are developing as we speak. Including Atheism, Agnostic, as well as Scientology which big movies stars as starting to practice including Tom Cruise and Kirstie Alley. New religions bring new practices and new things to preach, so the same stories or ideas won’t be taught across the country, now parents have a choice on how they would want to bring their children up. They can either have them not believe in God, which would be Atheism, or be neutral on the religion debate, which would consider them Agnostic. Either way, my stand on Christianity stays, I believe it’s wrong to teach people not to be homosexual and threaten that if you are a homosexual that there is a chance that you will go to hell. I am very glad that new religions are starting to form, giving people a chance to actually practice a religion in which they think is right, instead of a religion that tells them what is right.
