> [@Kable](#): > > Good to know. From the perspective of Jesus how is bestiality different from homosexuality? Like Bestiality, homosexuality was forbidden in Leviticus, and is such and obvious sin that there was no need to discuss it in the NT, because the issue wasn’t controversial. Jesus himself isn’t quoted as saying anything about either. The Greek in 2 Thessalonians that does refer to homosexuals uses terms found in other ancient Greek writings that refers specifically to male prostitutes. From the standard perspective of Christians over the centuries: sin is sin; if it harms you or your neighbor, or prevents you from having a deeper relationship with God, it’s a sin. > [@](#): > > How about unprotected man on man homosexual sex in general. You know the kind of sex that the Bible also calls an abomination. See the above. As I’ve mentioned the Presbyterians have been having long discussions about whether this a cultural bias or an inherent sin for 30 years. The jury is still out. > [@](#): > > I’m hoping you might realize your hypocritical stance and change your ways. Thank you very much for caring. If I hadn’t had religious experiences myself, I would be an atheist. I dislike woo, mistrust miracles, and am skeptical of spirituality in all its forms. But I have had a brush or two with the divine, so I cannot dismiss the Bible and faith as being a form of truth not covered by science. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/could-it-be-possible-that-homosexuals-are-really-athesist/660225)._
