Technically speaking, Leviticus calls for the death of men who lay with men as women

    So, to these folks, who believe homosexuality is some special sin, they would say that allowing homosexuals to live is equally wicked. We have been commanded in the Torah to put these people to death, and allowing them to live is putting us at odds with God.

    So, to this crowd, America, which at least 'tolerates' homosexuality and protects the rights of homosexuals, is breaking God's law and should be destroyed. Interestingly enough, as far as I know, homosexuality, while frequently criminal in the Colonial legal codes & throughout state & federal statues in the USA, has never been a capital offense. If God finds Americans to be so aberrant for allowing homosexuals to live, which we have for the history of entire existence, why hasn't He struck us down at some point in the past ~400 years? What's more, despite what they say about 'the good old days', relying on the passages they're choosing to cite, there has never been a time when America has NOT been wicked and godless and deserving of destruction.

    It is only those who are ignorant of the Bible who claim that the only reference to the grieviousness of "homosexuality" in the Bible is in Leviticus. That is not the case. Rather, the Bible explicitly condemns that in various books all throughout both the Old and New Testaments. And the claim that Christians need not heed OT law is also incorrect: there are two types of law in the OT, ceremonial and moral. Jesus rendered the ceremonial law of OT obsolete, but not the moral law.

    "Homosexuality" is indeed a "special sin" because those who partake in it do so pridefully (which in itself is a very grievous sin) and are under the delusion that gratification of their own perverse fleshly lusts is to be put above all else. Whereas with most other sins, people realize and acknowledge they are wrong, ask for forgiveness and repent from it. "Homosexuals" do not ever acknowledge the wrongness of what they do, nor ask for forgiveness, nor repent from their sins. For all these reasons "homosexuality" is in no way comparable to any other sin.

    As for saying why doesn't God strike America down: there can be arguments made that God has indeed done some things as claimed in the Bible he would do against evil nations: for example, send pestilence. Of which AIDS (originally named GRID; gay related immune defiency) definitely is.
