You're saying homosexuality is more of a lifestyle you can choose than your religion?
Doesn't that mean that, since you did not choose your christianity, it's a mindless and unfounded attitude which is probably wrong. That would mean you're set to burn in hell for all eternity without hope of repenting since your sin is born into you. You start to see the problem with your line of reasoning?

He said the exact opposite of that. You start to see the problem with your line of reasoning?

Oh right.

Sorry about that [fades into background]

Though the way I (mis)read what you said, it was quite enraging.

Also, to stay on the offensive, how can homosexuality be a sin when you're, as you yourself implicitely avow, born with it? Isn't the point of the whole good-evil opposition that one has a choice between the two? Wouldn't considering homosexuality a sin then mean that there can be no God since we would have to consider a world where some people were doomed before they even made any choice, which is impossible if God is true, good and beautifull? And should that not mean that the absence of a divine PoV would make all our acts contingent, hence rendering homosexuality perfectly acceptable?

You start to see the problem with your line of reasoning?

I have to say, you took making a mistake much better than most people on here do. Smiley

I think the basic premise here is that being born with homosexuality is different from acting on it. The former you cannot help, the latter you have some sort of choice over. That would be analogous with being born with a desire to commit some other act that certain Christians might view as sins (such as cheating on your spouse).

I don't agree with that line of thinking myself, but it isn't logically faulty, imo.
