Firstly, I never said being homosexual is a sin. The Bible doesn't condemn homosexuals, rather it condemns their sexual acts which are perverted.

Second, if your analogy is correct then believers are very capable of interpreting the Bible correctly. There may be obvious symbolism in various parts of the Bible, however, for the most part it is accurate to take the Bible literally.
