    Romans 1:26-27 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

    This is from the Bible.

    which makes no mention of homosexuality, or it being a sin. It's hilarious that you keep proving my point for me.

    God created sex to be between a husband and a wife. https://www.gotquestions.org/Jesus-homosexuality.html

    Everyone knows of God because of the starry heavens above and the moral law within.

    you can not demonstrate any god exists. the moronic circular logic in the above quote doesn't change reality.

    Since God has spoken through His universe, men and women are without excuse for not believing in him. The universe is not God-people use the universe as a replacement for God, but the universe is God's creation.

    What is homosexuality? It's what we call in today's language, same-sex attraction. You won't find those exact words in the Bible either. But, you can find words and phrases that mean the exact same thing. In the OT: Lev. 18:22, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind, it is abomination." There are other OT scriptures as well.
    In the NT: Romans Chapter 1:26 - 27, God gave up them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change their natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." There are other NT scriptures as well. So, yes, it's in the bible and condemned as sin. Did you tear those pages out of your Bible so that you can sleep easier? When you post things, at least know something about what you post.

    The heavens declare the glory of God. We don't see God, but we see His creation all around us.

    Jesus said that the Old Testament was about Him. Jonah was swallowed by a great fish and then spit out onto the land, and Jesus was swallowed by death and then resurrected.

    An atheist is defined as one who believes there is no God. Since it isn't possible to prove scientifically that something doesn't exist, atheists cannot know that there is no God. Their view is just a belief based on lack of evidence. However, believing that there is no God does not mean that there isn't one.

    no it isn’t. It’s someone who lacks belief in a god or gods.

    Atheists don’t claim god does not exist. They just lack belief a god exists. Same way you lack belief that Santa clause exists.

    Atheism is by definition, the lack of belief. Not a belief.

    So does the fact you don’t belief Santa Claus exists mean he doesn’t?

    Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are replacements of Jesus that take away from the meaning of Christmas and Easter.

    Surprisingly, some skeptics claim that Jesus didn't exist, though to do so they have to reject the entire New Testament historical record. The New Testament contains hundreds of references to Jesus Christ, and in terms of ancient manuscript evidence.

    Santa Claus and the Easter bunny have the same amount of evidence for their existence as Jesus

    And lord of the rings contains hundreds of references to Frodo, but that doesn’t make Frodo any more real than Jesus.

    While skeptics may choose to reject the Bible's moral message, they cannot deny its historical accuracy. Over 25,000 archaeological finds demonstrate that the people, places, and events mentioned in the Bible are real and are accurately described. No archaeological finding has ever refuted the Bible. In fact, the descriptions in the Bible have often led archaeologists to amazing discoveries.
