Bestiality is the act of engaging in sexual relations with an animal. The Bible says that bestiality is a perversion and, under the Old Testament Jewish Law, punishable by death (Exodus 22:19, Leviticus 18:23, Leviticus 20:15 and Deuteronomy 27:21).
"Florida Sen. Nan Rich, a Democrat, ... says research has shown that people who molest animals are likely to rape or molest people."[1]
In 36 of America's states, beastiality is illegal. Alaska is considering a ban.[1]
The atheistic worldview does not lend itself to the establishment of morality within society and individuals (see: Atheism and morality and Atheism and deception).
