(No flaming whatsoever I beg of you guys)

So I want a response from atheist for a particular question that I've been thinking about.

Where do you think the idea of homosexuality being immoral originates from? Ok we all know that religion was the main opponent against homosexuality for all of human history up till the new millennium. In religion "God" tells his people that homosexuality is immoral and that is the main reason why religion is so against homosexuality. However atheism is founded upon the concept that there is not evidence of there being a god. So by atheists logic there shouldn't have been a god to tell humans that homosexuality is immoral in the first place. So this brings me back to my first question, how did this idea originate if there was no god? And if you can answer me that can you answer this question, how would that be beneficial in leading ppl? Why would it be important in the first place? It's widely known that back in ancient times that homosexuality was not frowned upon and actually there was liberty for it. Again how do you think this concept of immorality came about if there was no god?

From a impartial standpoint.

In atheism it would be believed that humans wrote the bible. Therefor humans produced all the ideals that are expressed through the new and old testament.

In this case the Idea of anti-homosexuality would most likely be because of the lack of natural occurrence, seeing as the natural case would be a male mating with a female to reproduce.

It should be far to easy to realize that humans naturally detest of things that are different and things that they cannot understand, therefor if suddenly a male wishes to find a male mate or a female wants to find a female mate, it will obviously result in controversy, which would lead to negative views, which would lead to hate, and eventually prosecution.

From a impartial standpoint. [From a perspective of general atheism]

(From the assumption that god is a falsity) These are not Christain, Jewish or Islamic Cultures, so they're beliefs would differ from those who created the bible.

Even within biblical texts many pagan nations were mentioned, such nations did not follow the beliefs of those who created the bible.

I'll answer anyways.


I think the idea of homosexuality comes from by the fact being don't see it being normal. To males being together and to females together, doesn't seem to be right. Being that "normal" sexuality, is a man and woman.
Back then, men use to do it with eachother all the time. Use to have little *** fests but I won't go into that because I'm already containing my pervert thoughts.

And now I think the idea of there being no god, has been around as long religion itself, and that noone really expressed it because .... maybe they feared. They would get burned alive or hunged. I mean jews had a hard time trying to strive. It would've probably been way worse. Atheism usually results from someone not believing in their religion because they went in despair or had a hard time in life, and thought of help for a god. But none was recieved.Well the stories I have heard from atheist I encountered, ofcourse. My assumption, could be completely wrong, but Im just basing it off the knowledge I have recieved from the ones I have encountered, which have been a quite a lot. Internet roams of them. XD

^Couldnt agree more this is basically why. Like another member said I don't mind what they do as long as they are happy, there is no reason for me to hate something thats not doing direct harm to myself.
