Romans 1:26-27 (New International Version)
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
1 Timothy 1:10 (New International Version)
for adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine
Leviticus 18:22 (New International Version)
Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

Leviticus 18
Unlawful Sexual Relations
1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘I am the LORD your God. 3 You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices. 4 You must obey my laws and be careful to follow my decrees. I am the LORD your God. 5 Keep my decrees and laws, for the man who obeys them will live by them. I am the LORD.
6 ” ‘No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations. I am the LORD.
7 ” ‘Do not dishonor your father by having sexual relations with your mother. She is your mother; do not have relations with her.

24 ” ‘Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. 25 Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the aliens living among you must not do any of these detestable things, 27 for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. 28 And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.
29 ” ‘Everyone who does any of these detestable things—such persons must be cut off from their people. 30 Keep my requirements and do not follow any of the detestable customs that were practiced before you came and do not defile yourselves with them. I am the LORD your God.’ “
You do sound arrogant, A.
Maybe he sounds ignorant because you were educated with a banana and an inner tube. Stick to the point, if you’re going to debate, debate. If you want to insult someone, I’ll be your Huckleberry. To wit:
It’s plain you’ve given up your ability to ration for this delightful little delusion called “filled with the spirit” or whatever you morons are calling your shared delirium these days. There now, doesn’t it feel nice to blame everything wrong and bad on your God? Dipshit. Guess what? Satan didn’t make me evil, assholes like you did.
Here’s a news flash: when you die, you go in a hole in the ground. The only firey pits waiting for you are the ovens at the mortuary, and your soul will go nowhere, because you don’t have one. There is no heaven. There are no dead family members watching your progress through daily life. There is no God, no Satan, and there never were any angels or demons.
Good luck.
I feel sorry for you that you don’t believe that there is so much more to you than just waking up every day and existing.
