Wow.. Ok.No.-The act of homosexuality (male male) caries a intrinsic greater health risk because of tissue damage during the act itself. The breakages in the skin expose the pair to direct blood/blood transfer, and any blood born pathogens by extent.-
The same could be said for bestiality, not to mention that in this case some animals could carry blood borne pathogens that humans have no immunity to. --Promiscuity/Adultery in any society, particularly where there was no contraception has inevitably lead to an increase in STD's, unwanted pregnancies, (and normally abortions which carry their own health risks), and often, but admittedly not always, broken families.-These things are statistical and medical fact and have no bearing on morality at all. (except perhaps the broken family bit.)-What I was trying to point out is that many of the laws set out at the time were practical for the time. However, from a less Christian and more Esoteric standpoint, there is another reason. The relationship between man and woman is significant in two unique ways. First is that they comprise two sides of the same coin, complete each other, if you will. The other is that it is supposed to reflect the spiritual union, the vow between man and god.-Granted, much of this was not 'voted' into the bible by the RCC, but can be found in the texts that they excluded from the bible because it would have threatened their strangle hold on man.
