Okay... what? You do not detest gay people... and neither does god? Then... what the f*ck is the problem?
Listen mate, you go try to dig up an original Hebrew bible, first print unaltered trough history. I can promise you that you will not find any instance where jezus or god make any reference to anything remotely to do with homosexuals. Nothing that has to do with killing them in any case.
Anyhoo, I have a question which no-one on this forum has given me a solid answer too and maybe you can answer it for me. WHY... why do you take your rules and place your faith in something that you can not see, smell or touch. There is absolutely NO evidence for god whatsoever so why are you so sure he exists? Faith yea sure, but you need to have at least a point of reference other then a dusty old book don't you? O.o

I believe Nate already pointed out that Jesus could not have said anything in an original Hebrew text so I will skip that part. I have never once even mentioned killing gay people or that it would be right to do so. I merely said that homosexuality is a sin in the eyes of god as are many other things. You somehow got the impression that I and God hate gay people. This is wrong. Again. Everyone sins. Myself included.
Nate- I have already answered this but I will do it again. The areas of Leviticus that you are speaking of are not attributed to God directly. They do not say that "and God proclaimed that such and such". Although that is implied so I understand how anyone could be taken aback by that. I know I was. What I have discovered is that there is a significant difference between cultural laws and religious laws. Those laws were cultural, which means in this case that the originated from Jews living in a certain region. This is much like women not being able to pray with men or having to wear veils in the Muslim faith. These are not religious laws but rather cultural. However, there are instances in the Bible (other than Leviticus) where God speaks of homosexuality. One of these is where Sodom and Gamora are destroyed.
Snuzi- I have actually given no quotes or even vague answers. I have done my best to answer directly and without taking offense to the tone that people have used with me. Believing that homosexuality is a sin is not the same as being a bigot. It is part of my religion. I have no quarrel with gay people and think they should have every right that a straight person has. We live in a country that was founded on seperation of church and state. Although it didn't really turn out that way. I have acted in a respectfull manner and I would appreciate if you would do the same. Calling me stupid is not a valid arguing point.
