| How do you respond to religious folks who feel that they have to condemn gay relationships because the Bible says so? |

This was just beaten to death (see what I did there?).
Search homophobia. |

+100. Trolls be desperate. |

I’m not a troll. Not in the slightest. I’m not looking for a treatise or to start some grand debate. I just would like a two or three sentence response. |

I just say it’s silly you condemn gay people but not shrimp and tax collectors.

Shrimp are the true enemy here. |

Usually I respond with other things in the Bible like Lot's daughters sleeping with him and getting pregnant, and Lot offering his daughters to the mob. |

| If you have read the New Testament you aren't running around condemning anything, let alone loving relationships. That part of the Bible, which is what I care about as a Christian, does not support any condemnation of gay relationships. The people who think it does need to read it again. |

Who is doing this, what is your relationship with them? Are you a Christian and do you have a background in biblical studies? |

No, people like you are. |
