Well, if that´s true I guess that has more to do with your ideology than with mine. Because at least they worshipped a human being, which unlike you I don´t... Don´t forget communism, they killed more people than all Catholic popes together and they clearly declared themselves atheists.

I think being a more reserved person and being brought up to be more reserved about public displays of affection (PDA), I would probably not kiss like these two men did, with a woman in public. I don't think them being gay is a big deal though. It's just different cultures and general behaviour when it comes to showing affection.
I might kiss my woman in a discreet way if we were in public, but I wouldn't make a big deal out of it. I don't like being looked at by strangers, so it's just a matter of comfort level for me.

Name what exactly I got wrong about the Bible. Disprove that the Old Testament contains passages condemning the eating of shellfish and working on the sabbath, while there's not a single word condemning the sexual abuse and rape of children. Disprove that slavery - including sexual slavery - is acceptable in Biblical scripture. Disprove that the Bible cites a story in which the ancient Israelites - with Yahweh/Jehova on their side - exterminate the Malachites (genocide).
The whole incest theme seems to be worth its own paragraph. Disprove that Lot had incestuous sex with his daughters and that for the story of Adam and Eve to be true, the children and grandchildren etc. of Adam and Eve would've had incestuous sex with each other since the dawn of time in order to create 7 billion people. Thus, the Bible promotes incest. The entire creation of mankind is based on incest according to your Bible.
Furthermore, the animals (apart from the sheep) that Noah had with him on the Ark, were only two and two. Again, the bible promotes incest because the animals would've had to mate with their own "family".
Maybe I'm crazy, but I view a man kissing another man as less harmful than generations of incest, pedophilia, slavery, genocide and the like.

And let's not forget Yahweh's fondness for ritual sacrifice and infanticide. Abraham was told to prove his devotion and faith by sacrificing his only son. The sacrifice was stopped, but still it points to an immoral view on devotion and faith. Jephthah sacrificed his daughter, because he'd promised the Lord that if He helped him slaughter the Amonites, he'd sacrifice whomever came out of his home first to greet him.

I can't wait to see Ficuscarica defending the "perfect" absolute morality of the story of Jephthah or any of the other passages mentioned in the clip above.

Many of your "objections" would never have been made if you understood that simply because a book tells a story it doesn´t support what the participants of that story did...
