Which is precisely what you have done in opening this thread on this issue. LeatherTrumpet what are you trying to achieve? You are getting a reputation for stirring up trouble and causing arguments which are not productive. The book of Romans along with many other parts of the Bible does class homosexual behaviour as a sin, but there is a time and place for quoting them, but lets not forget 1 Corinthians 6 which shows that just because someone may have practiced this, they were not "beyond the pale"
ProbeEight you say you find the Bible homophobic because it has injunctions against homosexual behaviour, however you need to bear in mind that all the mono-theistic religions have this injunction in their sacred texts and adherents to those particular faith may criticise this behaviour only because it is in there, otherwise it might not be mentioned. Since religious faith is something held dear by people, blanket dismissal by use of words as "homophobic" is not helpful and may ignore other positive qualities they may have due to their chosen belief system.
Also if you believe LeatherTrumpet is being provocative, would be be better to not rise to the bait?
