J-Dude, when did you decide to want to like the fairer sex? I mean, I personally didn't decide I wanted to bang girls. It kinda just happened and I had no control over it. I'm sure if I tried to force myself to like guys, I wouldn't be able to. But you're different from me, apparently, so when did you decide to like girls?
Let's pretend you aren't different. Let's pretend you were in the same situation as all of us, and had a genetic predisposition to liking girls. Why wouldn't this affect homosexuals in the same way? Why is it that they had to choose to be homosexuals? Do animals choose to be homosexuals too? You do realize there are *** animals, right? Why is something that occurs in nature considered unnatural? Because the voices savages heard thousands of years ago said so? Don't be silly. Homosexuality has been around longer than your Bible, and will around after people stop the second worst science fiction novel around (the first being whatever the hell Hubbard cooked up).
In the case of Lot's wife, she wasn't a homosexual so I don't see your point. Oh no. She witnessed aliens drop a nuclear bomb on two cities and she died. That is what happened, by the way. According to the book I'm writing about how awesome and godly I am, anyway. Take my word for it though.
The New Testament simply builds upon the Old Testament, eh? So slavery, sexism, inequality and bigotry is still alright? Don't be silly, modern pastors and priests say the times have changed so we don't have to pay attention to any of that horrible stuff anymore. Wait a second....the Bible says everything in the Bible is true because it is the inspired word of God according to the Bible! J-Dude, by not enslaving people, treating women like property or dirt, selling your kids, and murdering people who do not bow down to your God, you're disobeying God. Sounds like a ticket to hell to me.
The problem with the Bible is it constantly contradicts itself, and expects its believers to completely ignore those contradictions and continue believing what God says to believe, even if it's the complete opposite of what he told you to believe 10 minutes ago. Here's a pretty site full of inconsistencies and contradictions. There's no opinion involved. Just verses from the good 'ol Bible.

Here's a nice little site full of fun reading, also taken directly from the Bible:

I like how Christians are told to disregard some things in the Bible, while paying special attention to the others, and to take some of what is said as being literal, and other things as being figurative or metaphorical. It's all a matter of convenience, really. Throw out all the bad, and pretend our religion is completely good. That's the way! By doing so, you're treating the Bible as though it isn't saying exactly what God wanted to be said. You're disobeying him. Either believe everything in the Bible, or prepared to get skull-****ed by the Devil (who isn't even who you think it is if you read the Bible).
It's bad fiction. If you want to read a good book, check out Dune or 2001 a Space Odyssey or the Mahabharata.
