Before you answer, let us look at where this originated. Leviticus.
In this passage, it also states many things to be abominations, among them; Bunnies, Hamburgers, Shaving, Shrimp, Vegetable Gardens, and Polyester. So, as long as you continue to do any of those, I'll be seeing you in hell too!

Oh, also why I was making the silly posts earlier, I'm at my friends house.

Oh, and to all those that say it's against their nature, ask the ones who have tried to "turn straight". I won't give a ratio, but I know that many have failed.
I, for one, have. And how many other things do we do that go against our nature? Yet we still do them. Odd. Do you masturbate? God didn't intend for that. Unnatural. Do you eat hamburger? Well god didn't intend for that, or else he would have had the meat ground already. Unnatural. Polyester is the synthetic fiber. God didn't intend for us to wear it. Unnatural.
You can't understand it, so you say it's unnatural. Did you ever stop to think that being with women feels unnatural to us?

The only people who feel that way are jerks anyway, so I don't even give them the attention. Also, I love it when people say homosexuality is wrong for whatever reason, and they back it up by saying, "I just don't think it's right! That's just the way I feel!" Like somehow that's a valid answer. I just don't like them... there's nothing wrong about it, it's just my opinion!
It's no better than saying "I just don't like the Jews!" or "I just don't like black people!" The fact that it's "just your opinion" doesn't make your position OK.
I agree with your post, by the way.

There are many places in the Bible that refer to the sinful abominations of mankind, homosexuals among those listed, & it is listed so that mankind will have NO EXCUSE when they face the Lord on Judgement day! 1Co 6:9 -
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Homosexuality is not an abomination. Hate is.
Strict bible followers must know it is not their place to judge, lest they be judged. Chances are good that even the loudest voice shouting harsh judgments, is coming from a body full of regret and sins.

I do not know why they say that. It has been going on since the begging of time....I believe it does not matter who you are with as long as you love them they love you and you remain truthful to yourself. If you are a good person it should not matter who you have sex with...And if people would get off there high horses people wouldn't be sinning because I know alot of gay people who wish they could be married.

Your misquoting of Leviticus is misleading.
Just like the term "homophobic" is misleading and political in nature.
Many people are not fearful of homosexuality, just disgusted by it. They find it to be an abomination. Leviticus says that God shares that position.

I dont believe it is an abomination.
While I do believe in God I also believe that a lot of people interpret the bible in their own way to suit their own purposes.

I don't. I don't care what consenting adults do behind closed doors. With Bush bent on destroying or ruling the world how can anyone spend time on something so inane?

WHAT polyester is definitely not associated with Fags. Linens, Cottons and Raw Silks perhaps! Come on. Any radical hypocritical religious zealot knows that one, why not you?

Because it's contrary to human nature.
The Jewish ceremonial law was done away with by Jesus when He instituted the Church but the moral law is always valid.
