Why are so many religions against Homosexuality even thou it exists in 1500 other animal species?

What is your point- Homosexuality is banned for humans, thus the whole male and female concept. You are not an animal, but yet are reducing your standards to being one. Human beings are created with a soul, humans are going to heaven not animals. Who cares what ANIMALS DO< they are animals, that alone should tell you something, so are you saying all gays have the mentality of animals?After all you are comparing gays to animals.

Religious people are not "afraid" of homosexuality, they fear the creator, the one who has power over all things and the one who deals out punishment in the hereafter. Those who choose not to engage in things they or their religion deems as sinful acts only fear the one who will judge them for their good and bad deeds when this life is over. Fear of the things that people choose to do with their own lives has nothing to do with it.

Not all religions are, just a lot of them. And yes, it's a great way to control people, I'm sure that's partly why they were created.

probably the same reason they have so many denominations,different bibles,and differing\ninterpetations,to some of us folks thats just to much to keep up with,i mean they all cant be correct.and with differences comes condemnation\nsuch as what we saw with the recent denomination\nthat installed there first gay leader, or the denomination that installed there first female leader, all the rest condems there actions,\nso for most peace loving people there is to much hate and division within the ranks of religion\nso this causes desention thus leads to Agnostics

the reason people are against gays/lesbians are the fact that they do not fit the social norm and they are not hetero like everyone else on this plant or so they think and also they find the sexual acts disqusting mainly religion is a big factor in this because we are taught it is not natural....

A lot of people are afaid of homosexuals because they are diffent. A lot of people are afraid of anyone who acts out of the "norm" and think that there is something bad about them. Many of the sever homophobes are actualy masking a fear that they may be gay themselfs. And of course religion plays into it a lot (i know you said no religious answers but i feel this needs to be adressed) a large portion of North American people are christion, a religion witch forbays homosexualy in many sects. These traidtions create a cultureal norm and make hatred more accepted.

Well, I think because this phenomena is against : \n\nReligions .\n\nHuman nature .\n\nIt is also one of diseases transmission .\n\nIt's disgusting...\n\nGod Punishment... because he created Eve for Adam, not for another Eve...and Adam for Eve not for another man...

i'm sure there are equivalents in many animist and ancient cultures, but i'm mostly aware of the concept of "two-spirit" people in the Native American tradition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berdache\n\nprejudice against homosexuals is a fairly new phenomenon in general, dating to about the 1100s in Christian society. before that, if they weren't exactly considered "holy," there were certainly a fair amount of christian priests and bishops who were gay, and who wrote poems and songs about it that were excised from the tradition during the time of the Inquisition. read John Boswell for more information.

one species of animal is defined as a group of organisms that may breed to produce viable offspring. eg. "Mammals" are not a "species" as they are not all able to interbreed (never seen a rabbit-sheep cross, have you?) I would estimate at over 1000 "animals" although there must be many more species of organism, including many species of insects, plants, bacteria, fungi, viruses etc.\n\nLook up the science of "phylogenetics" or phylogeny for more details

That is supposing that there is such a thing as God.\n\nConsider - the world is over populating.  Homosexuals do not breed.  Is it God or mother nature adjusting the population balance? \n\nAnd just where do you get God hating from?  Christians hate lots of things for sure but that is their sin not their Gods!!!!!!

You're wrong--There is homosexuality in the animal kingdom, and it's well documented.  The most famous same sex pair these days are the gay penguins in the Central Park Zoo.  Though they're just the most famous same-sex animal couple these days, it's not uncommon for most species.  Your assertion that there are "none" is simply without merit.

I am.... and I would tell them that their over-zealous all comsuming belief in something that is improbable is assinine, and that if they do not believe that it is natural, then they should look in nature. there are many other creatures that are not heterosexual. dolphines for instance, the second most intelligent species on earth, are bisexual, and will pretty much screw anything that swims by, whether or not they are in the same species or not.  if "god" didnt condone GLBT, then why are so many in the wild that way? he supposedly "made" them too.

Darwin's theory of evolution isn't so fickle an idea that it can be disowned by some horny sheep.  Most animals that show homosexual behavior, still mate and breed heterosexually.  Sex feels good to animals too.  And sometimes, sex is just sex.

Well I am Christian and also bisexual, I dont hate gays straights bis or whatever. I do believe the Bible shows homosexuality as a sin but I also realise there are 613 other sins and no one can live sinlessly. So, I just get on day by day, dont let either ruin my life or the lives of others.

Without wanting to start too much controversy, I do believe it is a mistake of nature, it goes against the very essence of any species, primal instinct forces us to try to propagate the species.  Homosexuality is in direct opposition of that, although I do encourage acceptance, as it is nobodies fault and they should be allowed to live there lives as normal people do.  I just wish they wouldn't be so IN YOUR FACE, "I'M A HOMO YOU BETTER LIKE IT,!!!"  I think by trying to be accepted they go too far and it's annoying.

Islam is common in countries where its against the law to have any other religion.  In the free world, it only spreads among the ignorant.  Mike Tyson is a muslim.  Need I say more.\n\nPeople with an average IQ are able to understand that the queeran is only a work of fiction.  In fact, its no secret that its creation coincides with the start of a period known as "The Dark Ages".  A time when no progress was made.\n\nMohammed himself was an admitted child molester.  He "married" a 6 year old girl to have sex with her.  Today, muslims believe that sex with any young girl who has had her period is OK.  That is a clear indicater that its a large cult and not a real religion.
