Actually the Bible makes a very clear dinstinction to its view on homosexuality. Unless you define an "abomination" as some sort of praise or condonement? You can drink, smoke, screw, and wear anything you want any day of the week. That is your choice to make. I can not and will not judge you as a person for your deeds. I can not condemn you to hell. Only God can judge you, but seeing as you don't believe in Him; when you die, it wont matter any way. Yes the Bible makes a clear stance on tattoos, I myself got inked before I found God. Actually I have read the dead sea scrolls, yet not in their entirety. I have also read a Hebrew Bible. Whats your point? I would consider myself as a Biblical scholar with countless hours of study. I would also consider myself an expert on faith, based on the fact that I do have it. You can not claim either, therefore can make no expert assumption or comment on either. You lack belief, that in no way shape or form qualifies you in matters pertaining to religion, faith, God, Jesus, or the Bible. I'm assuming you're in your late 20's or early 30's. Therefore, your words, beliefs, views, agenda, life experience or lack their of will have absolutely no impact on God, Jesus, the Bible, faith or religion; of that I am 100% sure. I am also sure that when you die, your life would have had no significance nor effect on anyone but yourself or children. Again I am sure that you not having a belief in God or faith in anything will not harm God or anyone else for that matter. God does not need you, any atheist, nor any believer to continue to exist. He was, is, and always will be God. You and I are just a tiny spec in the entirety of history and creation. We are insignificant to the larger picture. The only ones we have any significance to is ourselves. Such a vain and empty life one must live to try and bring down those with faith, to be intolerant of believers, to be filled with hate towards a God that they do not nor ever have known. I pity a life such as that. I am not threatened by you anymore than I am the kitten I rescued from outside a month ago. Your words and beliefs are empty with no weight to me. Do not for a second believe that you mean anything more to me than a lost soul. I can only point you in the right direction, it is up to you to walk the path.
