You'll tell me yes because it constituted a criminal act, whereas homosexual acts are two consenting adults expressing their love for each other, and there's nothing criminal about that. That's fine, but sin is sin.
Sexual orientation and lifestyle choice are two different things.

Sexual orientation and lifestyle choice are two different things. It is wrong because they are children, very fucking simple. So I am okay for their oppression and stigmatisation of paedophiles for the protection of children.
Whereas YOU are mentioning paedophiles with homosexuality. It remind's me of an ex liberal party member(they are very conservative bunch) who said that 30% of paedophiles were gay and all we had to do is get rid of all the gays. To my thinking he had it wrong, we should be getting rid of heterosexuals since there must be 70% paedophiles are heterosexual. So what I am trying to say is whether you are homosexual or heterosexual does not make you a paedophile, so stop fucking bringing it up together.
I think what Daniel is trying to say is, it's okay to be homosexual but wrong to express it. Daniel likes to hide behind his book, "sin is sin". Daniel just tell us in your own words why homosexuality is wrong without the god said so or pedo shit?
To Daniel and all who are against homosexuals marrying, leave it alone and start helping a part of society which has needless suicides.

I agree with everything in your most recent post, except for this:

Yes and that circular logic is exactly what draws people into problems with their lives. "Sin is irrelevant to me, because I don't believe in God".

Define what sin is without reference to god, otherwise there is no circle and you are talking bollox.

63% of Australian adults are overweight. 63% of adults choose an unhealthy "gluttonous" lifestyle.
I'm sure you see the problem.
A percentage of these people are obese. They have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and low energy levels. Additionally, they get sick more often. In a way we're lucky we're not Indians because their bodies cope much worse with being overweight than ours do. But it doesn't change the universal fact that if you get fat bad health effects are to follow.
Cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and various forms of cancer are all caused by being fat and lazy. The 37% of us idiots that aren't fat have to foot their medical bills. We don't even get a choice in the matter - and I'm not saying that we should - but I'm pointing out to you that these idiots that endanger their health intentionally by their lifestyles live in a consequence-free environment; consequence-free in the sense that they don't have to foot their full medical bills and face all of the struggles it brings them head-on without government assistance and hand-outs.
This is why I have to tone-down my persona/ego in social situations. If I hear some fat person start talking about how much they hate smoking/alcoholism/violence/drugs/(other offensive trait) I'm known to say "and what would you know about anything, by burdening society with your gluttonous fat arse, why don't you try running on a treadmill before criticizing others who you see as problems in society".
"Waaaa we don't need Christians" - keep telling yourself that. 63% of people are so dumb they can't even use food correctly, let alone anything which is easier to abuse - alcohol, drugs, cars, ROFL, the list goes on and on and on, smoking, etc.

For the oppression and stigmatisation of their sexual orientation?

Danny, don't be obtuse. Pedophilia's issue is one of consent. Children cannot give sexual consent.
And food is just as easier (if not easier) to abuse than many drugs. It's all about hedonistic use.

What would you say the body mass index of this avarage group of christards is?
Slimming with Jesus is not as good as yoga, and neither are as good as science and learning about a proper diet.

Not everyone who is obese is "gluttonous" Daniel. What's your BMI?

Some are rather ill ...so get off you derogatory high horse.

Much too high, obviously.

My BMI - 21.9, but everyone knows BMI isn't a complete answer in itself.
