And if that is true, you can throw that one on the pile of reasons to throw your Bible in the trash (unless you can read it without taking any of it seriously).

Why? Even science (and common sense) says homosexuality is unnatural.

No, it's because you have just taken the position that it is higher on the moral ladder than homosexual acts.

I'm not sure how you can call it "unnatural" in the first place. Aside from the numerous incidents of homosexual behavior in the animal kingdom, if someone wants to do it, doesn't that make it natural? It's not like kids are trained to want gay sex any more than they're trained to want hetero sex. I certainly wasn't trained; I remember getting my first female slapped face at the age of 6. Nobody was encouraging me to try to kiss this girl.

You're confusing "unnatural" with "it makes me feel icky."
