Yeah, doesn't fit my idea of good and evil either. Homosexuality doesn't harm anyone in any manner. On the contrary, it can bring people lots of joy (just like heterosexuality). I think you already got your answer from binary solo as to why homosexuality is a sin (which, apparently, is sort of a simplified statement). |
Putting aside the question of harm, or not, from homosexual relations, religion is as concerned about harm to self as it is about harm to others. A lot of religious teachings are about improving self and protecting the self as well as being good at a social level. So it is appropriate for religion to regulate behaviour where the only "victim" is the self. On the basis that God actually does know what's best for you more than you do, then God does get to tell you what to do. If you believe of course.
