When a religion is formed, values and beliefs are superimposed on the religion and the problem perpetuates itself. Part of the reason I didn?t like (actually I guess I hated) gays was the teachings of my church. Once my faith waned, I questioned a lot of stuff.
The thing is that prior to the existence of the Bible, in some societies, homosexuality was seen as a normal thing, then it was seen as a bad thing, then it was seen as relatively normal again and now we're back to a time where people see it as a bad thing. The teachings of Christianism were created by a society of long ago which saw homosexuality as a bad thing. That's why people should always think well about the things they're taught, they can't just accept them without giving it a second thought. It's like me telling you to jump off a bridge and you doing it right away just because I told you so.
