Hey, i'm not saying i agree with it.   I'm just saying that religions as a whole are pretty anti-homosexual... because society as a whole was pretty anti-homosexual back then in most areas.

It's intresting from an antrhopological reason.

It's weird when people... espiecally atehists blame religion as the origin of homophobia.

Becuase... if you don't believe in god, who wrote the homophobia?

 

When you look at ancient traditions of religions you can see how the nonsecular attitudes and needs at the time formed a lot of religious laws, customs and beliefs.

 

Or at least, that's a more favorable opinion then "People are born homophobic as an evolutionary defense and can't help it." opinion you get from most evolutionary biologists/psychologists.

 

Which is where homophobia will come from pretty heavily if religion fades away.

I never said you did agree with it. :P
Just my take on religios people who take text out of context to use for arguments sake, it's not actually the religion that's at fault for it, but the followers.
Apparantly the hate and discrimination takes priority over things such as "Love thy neighbour".

Homophobia is just ingrained into parts of society, the religious sects take precedent because they're far more vocal about it.
