    Leviticus is the same part of the bible that tells people gays go to hell. And people who eat shellfish.

      Fun fact: hell is not mentioned in the Old Testament. Christians came up with eternal burning damnation all on their own.

      You are right that the (likely) prohibition on some form of homosexuality is the exact same (likely) prohibition against shellfish and pork.

        It’s an influence from Greek though - lots of early Christianity is Plato/other Greek philosophers + Judaism.
