The Natural Excuse

The subject of homophobia by religious institutions has been well aired on this forum and, to date, the only credible reason for hatred aimed at homosexuals is through ignorance, arrogance and outright senseless prejudice. Wrap the whole thing up with a generous dose of Biblical dogma (still, without explanation) and religious die-hards somehow feel safe in the knowledge that they are protected from their distasteful vilification of perfectly normal, thinking, caring human beings.

Now, we get to the bottom (excuse the pun) of it and hear that the way homosexuals practice sex is unnatural. . . . The inference being that if we do not practice sex that is contrary to nature (whatever that may be) it is wrong for some mysterious reason.

So, since such ignorant, arrogant and prejudiced theists started this despicable war against others who somehow fall short of their bizarre, elitist standards that they (religious institutions) decide others should follow, let's consider the following. . . . .

God, is an unproven, unverifiable, mythological, invisible being who is alleged to have created everything that is and what we are.
The worshipping of such a mythological being that certainly has no place in nature (remember, God, is beyond science) and is therefore unnatural.

So, by their own standards, shouldn't religious institutions be vilified and do religious followers deserve the persecution levelled at them since time immemorial?

If religion continues its regime of singling out minority groups for no reason other than out of ignorance and arrogance, it will continue to be persecuted until the last sour-mouthed adherent has been kicked out of town.
