Because some ancient sex manuals written by ancient goat herders said that gay sex is gross, but it also said love thy neighbor, and none of the peasants at that time had the wherewithal to think "hey maybe only one of those things actually makes sense"

Edit: I'm not giving the peasants enough credit - a bunch of them probably did have the wherewithal, but the people in power murdered them for questioning the ancient sex manual, so that stopped that pretty quick

Nah, the ancients didn't give a fuck. Greek, Roman, Egyptian... Love is love and sex is sex

I'm talking different ancients - the Judeans, Samaritans, Palestinians, etc

Shouldn't have let them write the books. Single God was an error.

And it's fucked how if you explore more than one religion, faith or spiritual practice you're considered a heretic.
