What do you find immoral?

A lot of you fail to realize the existence of a process of thought that weighs various things or, can, in fact be knowingly hypocritical. I can knowingly do or want to do a number of immoral things consciously. That certainly doesn't make me a good person, but fact is that my behavior is not the ultimate determiner of what I judge to be right or wrong. Ridiculous.

I just threw up a little in my mouth, because I agree with most of what Cathcon said.  *shudder*

Just because you personally enjoy doing something doesn't make it moral.

I have to say though whoever said teenage sex is immoral just called Mary mother of Jesus a whore.  Congratulations.  The lack of scientific knowledge in America and the western world in general is amazing.  How can someone not even know that human beings evolved to initiate sexual relations in their teens?!  WTF, Atlas?!

It ties with homosexuality. Given both are evolutionary responses, I wouldn't be surprised if the same people voted for both.

I wouldn't lump teen sex in with homosexuality.    Anyone that has done even a modicum of science and history realizes without teen sex our numbers as a species would have been substantially lower.  The same cannot be said of homosexuality.

Homosexuality is something people can have debates about.  But teen sex?!  I mean how old do people think Mary was when she had Jesus?  35?

I think the average reasonable Christian view is the following:  The Bible is largely metaphorical and poetic.  There are myths and non-historical tall tales in the Bible that never actually happened.
And furthermore, the Bible was written by fallible human beings, based on oral traditions and textual mistranslations so not every detail is true on a sentence level.

I don't know of any Christians that think that.  My view is that if a supreme being that created the Universe were to write a book I as a humble human being probably wouldn't necessarily get all of it.

One thing is written in the Bible... We are all sinners.  Heterosexuals are sinners and homosexuals are sinners.  Our lot in life is just to try and be good people.  We all break the commandments of God at one time or another.  If someone asks me what is immoral I will list what I was taught from the Bible is immoral.  If someone asks me whether that list impacts my interactions with other human beings I will say on a lot of things no.  Would I refuse to hire someone because they had premarital sex?  No.  Would I refuse to hire someone because they had homosexual sex?  No.

My issue is reconciling what is written in the Bible and how it makes homosexuals feel.  Even if it doesn't affect my desire to interact with homosexuals it bothers me that I still believe the Bible says homosexuality is immoral.  Modern reality and what is in the Bible is something a theologian is really going to have to explain to me.
