I am finding that making so many individual replies is somewhat taxing. I
seem to be saying too much in some posts, and not enough in others. Here, I
should have distinctly referred to Christianity, rather than religion in
general. Other religions have little or no bearing on my part of the
discussion as I do not know enough about them.
As for the age of Christianity, it must be noted that homosexuality is
considered a sin within both the Old and the New Testament. Since the Old
Testament is the basis for the Jewish religion as well, I would assume that
the Jewish religion would also have issues with a gay gene. However, I do
not know enough about the Jewish religion to actually argue that point.

| (...) I don't see how this relates to my post. You said that all of 4000 years of religious doctrine was correct (except possibly the gay genes). I argued that with the diversity of the various doctrines, it couldn't _all_ be correct. Fredrik (23 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
