GE 24:2-9, 47:29 "... put your hand under my thigh, and I will make you swear by the Lord ...." (Note: This means "put your hand under my testicles," which is the manner in which oaths were taken at the time; "testament," "testify," and "testicle" have the same root.)

I should argue that there should be no such thing as the term "illegitimate children."
Religion unduly restricts sexual behavior, so you have byproducts that are shamed by society. People should be able to make up their own minds on this issue, as opposed to a priest or government.
Live and let live, so long as nobody gets hurt.

Doesnt this just show that christians, with their insistence for grabbing testicles, having multiple partners and chopping off foreskins, were indeed a lewd bunch themselves? What gives them the right to condemn homosexuals?

No.
And the word that "thigh" was translated from really does mean "thigh."
Can't you have some respect for Christians? Let us believe what we want. Quit pointing out stuff in the Bible, especially since you yourself do NOT read every word, you only see what you want to see.

Many people interpret scripture many different ways. If they interpret it in a vulgar manner...then that fuels their belief that those vulgarities are acceptable.
