I don't believe evangelicals are known for supporting the gray community. Neither are MAGA Catholics.

I question whether either are actually Christians!

Yes, they are Christians and yes, Leviticus says homosexuality is an abomination. This is one of the many reasons atheism makes so much sense.

Not all translations of Leviticus say homosexuality is an abomination

But the original Hebrew does.

No the original says do not lay with a child has nothing to do with homosexuality.

It was eventually hijacked by humans and ganged to homosexuality for their own sinful reasons.

Wrong. Please leave the translations to those of us who speak Hebrew. The passage says nothing about children.

The passage says “v’et zakar lo tishkav mishkavey smihut I shah tu-evah hu.” This means “you are not to lie with a man as with a woman, it is an abomination.”

Let me prioritize for you:

You
Your kids
Your Parents
Your Spouse
Your Siblings
Your extended family
Your town/city/region
Your country
Your Religion

Religion is the tail. Don't let it wag the dog.

All of this is hypocritical-- people suddenly "seeing the light" on intolerance when it affects them personally but are fine with it when it's harming someone else's child.

In short, find a better church, stop attending and supporting intolerant churches. Be a better person.

Better yet, give up church. Leviticus 18:22 is clear. It calls homosexuality an abomination. One of the many joys of atheism is that we don’t need to reconcile the Bible with the way we would rather that the world be.

It’s also a sin to eat bacon, shave your head or get a tattoo… do Leviticus is basically a useless part of the Bible.

Churches evolve and Leviticus is old new! Useless! Love your neighbor even your gay one, or tattooed one.

No more killing gays and quoting Leviticus.

Not according to Jesus. If a sick man is cured, Leviticus commands that the man go to a Jewish priest and sacrifice, which is exactly what Jesus told people to do. Luke 5:14

Christians cherry pick Leviticus. Jesus told people to follow all of what Moses commanded. Matthew 8:4

I just don’t get why anyone would not love and support their child because some bloke wrote that it was an abomination hundreds of years ago. Why is there so much hatred and intolerance in religion? Isn’t it time for a change? My daughter’s religion teacher won’t allow the word ‘gay’ in her classroom- unbelievable….

This is why atheism is so wonderful. Leviticus 18 says “and the Lord spake unto Moses saying . . . .” If you believe this, one must believe that homosexuality is an abomination. We atheists have no need to believe such nonsense.

That’s hearsay.

Was the writer of Leviticus there when god spoke to Moses. Nope! Some things get lost in translation.
