With the recent spurt of stupidity(I mean religions sermoning) by people in the political/serious discussion area pertaining to homosexuality and how "it's a sin", I'm wondering if anyone out there knows of every single religion which is against homosexuality, and if you also know where in the basic "rules/guidelines/books" for that religion it exists.

edit -
I forgot that if you know of any that are for it, then please post them and the information pertaining to it.

I'm not certain. That would take quite a bit of research, actually. I do know that the people who keep going on about it being sin don't seem to realize that they don't live in a Christian nation-state, and never will. They need to keep their religious agendas outside of the political arena.

Hey, let's also count how many religions there are that eat bread.

....damn.
You're like..my go to guy for religion...are you saying that there are just too many that are against homosexuality?

How many religions actually eat bread? People eat bread. Organizations produce, distribute and sell bread. Religion does not produce hate, people do. And they distribute it and spread it.

Would you prefer if I reword it to how many religions have passages, beliefs or are often used in reference toward hatred, distrust or overall intolerance toward Homosexuality/Homosexuals?

It really doesn't matter though. Ask someone who is religious what it feels like to be religious, they're not going to tell you, "I'm so glad I'm not homosexual." It's like telling the doctor about your neighbor's dog when you've got a gushing wound.

Uh......huh.
.....


I really didn't get what you just said.

Try rereading it.

I did.
My brain is too puny to comprehend it.

Well, you're smart enough for this: Give me a few religions and give me a few examples of their rules.

Whoa man..I come to these boards to get this information, not to give it.
I'm no religious genius, and as such I can't even come close to answering that..except like..
The bible says not to kill.
And that's all I know.

*shakes head* well if you're not going to contribute...

...
Well it isn't like I study religion man.
I debate often, and yet I still know next to nothing about it.
Also I was never taught much about it, and even when I was forced to go to Sunday School I pretty much ignored everything that I was told/taught.

As such I usually come here requesting information or the like, or have you not noticed that..?

A good question would be: What is it about various religions that lead people to hating homosexuals.

I suppose that would work...since it's basically what I asked.


By the way, turn that hating into hate and you'll be grammatically correct

It's not at all what you asked. You wanted a list of what religions and why and how. The issue is volumes more complicated than that.

I see..you're the religion expert so I'll concede to your belief/statements in this matter.

I appreciate being considered an authority, but you have to get that the world ain't cut and dry. Especially when we're talking about other peoples' beliefs.

I guess.
But I thought religions were basically set up with a basic set of beliefs that people followed/believed in, and that is pretty much how religions are designed/made to be?
