The thing about religion is that it doesn't need to make sense.

Yes it does. "Sense" isn't an objective trait, it's something an observer creates by observing, All beliefs make sense to the people who believe in them. They don't have to make sense to everyone, but they do have to make sense to their followers. I'm sure amish people have some answer to what I just said that makes sense to them.

That said, like all homophobes, their reasonings are often shallow and contradictory.
