You will leave because I will rationally tear your "rationale" to shreads.
Let's talk the Bible Nate. Let's. Start quoting Leviticus.

In Leviticus, it clearly states that 'man shall not lie with man as he does with a woman, for it is an abomination'....so what's your point?
If you want to go back and quote Leviticus, then gay marriages are an abomination.

Maybe you should quote all of Leviticus lest you become a hypocrite.

I have, but in the course of this thread, that is the verse that applies.

No, they ALL apply, and THAT is the problem. But you'll only spout off that one.
Leviticus tells you to do some pretty silly things but that won't stop YOU from ignoring those laws...now would it?
I believe that smacks of hypocrisy. Yes...yes it does.
Bible cherry picker, you.

*WE* are discussing one particular issue that is mentioned in *a* verse of Leviticus. What *you* are talking about, I have no idea.... 
Why mention other verses that are not related to the topic of this thread?

All the Bible is relevant. Or is it that one verse? Yes, for you it's that one verse.
Are you telling me you follow all the rules of Leviticus? If you tell us that, you are a liar. If you don't, you are a hypocrite.
Bible cherry picking does not behoove you.

So you don't eat shrimp, or wear polyester blends, or bathe on your period? Because all of that is an abomination too. You can't pick and choose if you're going to use one. And if you say the reasons for the rest are outdated, then that one is outdated too.

No, not quite. The Torah is only a part of the Bible, the first five books.
What you seem to be forgetting is that the Bible was written by man, not G*d, and personal beliefs and prejudices were added.

Yeah, I don't know why she keeps bringing this up.
Actually she and I hashed it out via pm where we, I thought, finally agreed that we disagree.

If the topic of this thread was about what you listed above, then my answer would be relevant. But since the topic of this thread is not about those items you listed, then I have no reason to answer them.
The only one who seems to be picking and choosing random biblical topics at will is doogur.
But, since you asked, yes I do eat shrimp, I do my absolute best to avoid all things polyester and I do bathe on my period.
As stated in an earlier post in this thread, I consider myself to be a New Testament Christian. I guess that offends you.

Not exactly. The Bible was written by man as God directed.

Sounds like you are little confused as to who the hypocrite is, Mr. Holier Than Thou.

You seem to be good at quoting Leviticus, but how about anything new testament, where all of the practices that you cited were replaced by the new law. However the New Testament still denounces homosexuality. So seems you are the one cherry picking.

Wow. That was easy. Won the Old Testament battle in a matter of minutes.
Jesus really never had anything to say about homosexuality, though he DID unfavorably compare Jerusalem's sin of inhospitality with that of Sodom in Matthew. You'd kind of think that if the gay thing were so important that our Lord and Saviour would have made at least passing note of it, dontchathink?
