Where have I ever stated that I dispute Biblical fallacy? Everything you quoted were basic Christian princples.

While it seems there is insufficiate evidence to make a claim either way, I think the burden of proof is upon Infinite_Loser.

How did you come to the conclusion that there is insufficient effidence either way? If you'd do a bit of research on the subject, you'd find that there is an overwhelming amount of evidence which proves that the Bible doesn't condone homosexuality. The number of people who believe that the Bible condones homosexual behaviour is strikingly small simply because the research done over the past hundred years says otherwise.

This does however bring up the other point. If you believe the bible might be incorrect in any way, then this arguement is pointless. As we have seen, two people can take what is suppose to be the same thing, and get different things out of it. You end up saying "The bible might not be right, but I'll use it to back up my statements", which isn't good logic...
...And of course, make sure arguements that are suppose to be supported by the bible, make claims of what is in the bible, not that which is not in the bible (i.e. "The bible doesn't condone, there for it condemns." This is not good logic either)

You're putting words into my mouth.
As I said to Gilda, the underlying logic of Christianity is that the Bible is infallible, since it was written by God through humans. Therefore, it's not up for debate and personal interpretation. Saying that different interpretations of the Bible could mean different things isn't a good argument, because people who have studied the original (Or what's left of them) Biblical scrolls come to the same conclusion as the majority of theologins today. The basis of the thread is Christianity and homosexuality, therefore one would believe that all arguments would stem from a Christian basis.
And, just so you know, the Bible
does condemn homosexuality. I'm sorry, but I just don't understand why a select group of people seemingly believe that they know more than people who spend their entire lives dedicated to researching the Bible and Christian beliefs.
It baffles me.
