Leviticus only applies to the ancient tribe of Israel. The Apostle Paul writings only applies to the early Church. Nobody nowadays has to follow what Leviticus or Paul has written.

I know you're a troll doing what trolls do, but evidence? That sounds like one of Paul Cameron's old claims, and he's a hateful quack.

As does everyone. Especially by touching phones and keyboards.

There is a kernel of truth to that. In the U.S. back in the bad old days when gay people had almost no rights and society was highly prejudicial against them many did get involved in promiscuous relationships. And it takes only one promiscuous person to spread the virus widely. Back then the vast majority of American AIDS cases were homosexual with IV drug users close behind. It was very rare among straight couples. There were probably several factors that contributed to this, but AIDS became known as a "gay disease". That may have been the truth here, but it was not the case worldwide.

Would a condom count as an adequately safe space between one man's joy stick and another man's sticky anal canal?
Does a man's joy stick covered with a condom block your hypothetical God's gay-dar from detecting a gay man's condom covered penis inside another man's rectum?

Oh, I know. I know all about the history of HIV in America. It just sounds like he is saying that gay sex causes HIV, which is very worrying.

It's actually quite possible that Paul wasn't so much "homophobic," as it is that he was terrified of his own inclination. That's something that's been common throughout all of human history, as people who recognize that have homoerotic feelings attempt to either come to grips with them, bury them, or possibly either kill themselves or try to live in both worlds...with neither world finding out about the other.
Bishop John Shelby Spong (Episcopal/Anglican church) certainly has speculated that Paul's much vaunted "thorn" was most likely a taste for his own gender, which scared him to death.
_________YOU SAID SO!
1. It's wrong because sex is for reproduction. That is the reason we have sexual organs and reproductive systems.
2. It's forgiveable, like most sin, so it does not bar anyone from Heaven.
Before you ask, yes masturbation, oral, heteroanal sex is a sin as well, and it counts as the same sin as homosexuality as far as I can tell. Better for a man's seed to lie in the belly of a prostitute, than upon the earth.

I seriously doubt if it was because @Skwim said so.

How do you know it is harmless? God is Love, not lust. Pleasure is fine and a gift when it is enjoyed within love. Lust or pleasure purely for the sake of pleasure is a misuse of the gift as God intended. In other words it is a perversion and abusive. Eating a gallon of ice cream in one sitting may bring temporary pleasure to some people. Others may get pleasure from sex with kids or shooting up heroin, drinking to excess, or any number of things, but these practices are harmful to oneself and often others. God desires the best for His creation. That is the reason He is against practices which are outside His design and bring damage to ourselves or others.
OH... But he DID say so, and so it must be true! Everything @Skwim said in his OP MUST be true... he knows the Bible so much, his hermeneutical capacity is off the roof, so he must be right.

I don't think that @Skwim would take that as a valid answer. But he might not mind if you start to worship him.

About a year ago I was going to make a thread showing that gay and bisexual males were more a threat to public health than firearms in terms of spreading HIV vs. deaths by firearms. As a test I cited information from the CDC (Centre for Disease Control) and other physicians, I was told by a few posters that I was singling out homosexual and bisexual males. Truth sometimes doesn't fit the popular narratives and falsehoods, just like the fact that non-Whites commit hate crimes at a disproportionate rate, over twice as high than Whites when taking population numbers into account and the fact that hate crimes by Whites have overall decreased over the last decade.

I still don't see a citation for your claim, just blather.

I could make a thread but it would be deleted most likely, I encourage you to do some personal research as to the veracity of my claims using governmental agencies as your guide.
