"You must be fruitful and increase, swarm throughout the earth and rule over
it" genesis 9:7.
If you were to obey that command "religiously," no conditions apply.
Homosexuality would always be a sin. Once you set conditions, your obedience to that
command would be conditional and NOT religious, since having sex for the sake
of sex does not bear fruit.
My argument is not that homosexuals should be killed or ostracized, as is
often suggested when I support the religious argument, but simply that it is not
a religious behavior... end of story.
