Here's the thing: Drich is down on homosexuality... which is only mentioned in the old testament. If one were to point out some terrible thing in the old testament, Drich has a long standing habit of dismissing the entire text as ancient Jewish law, and not something that christians need to obey or care about. Homosexuality is not mentioned by Jesus at all.
So, the old testament doesn't count and shouldn't be applied to christians... except for those passages that are convenient for Drich's own bigotry. You're not dealing with someone who actually cares what his holy book says; you're dealing with someone who cares only about his own illusory superiority and how he can lord it over others by clobbering them with whatever passage of his holy book "counts" today.
To Faith no more: This kind of thing is what or why I like to show people to be foolish. Because everything said here completely misrepresents everything I believe, yet holds true to Christian/atheist basic sterotypes. And for someone like Esq to say this tells me he is trolling.
My whole stance on Homosexual stands on the fact that It can be identified as a sexual sin like any other. How can I say this? Because Their is only ONE way sex is permitted, and that is through a sanctified marriage. God has made NO provisions to sanctify a Homosexual relationship, so all Homosexual 'activity' can therefore be identified as a sin. Plain and simple. Just like all other sexual sin the sin of homosexuality need to be repented of. If D-bags like Esq who have adopted pop morality declassify it as a sin, then it condemns all Homosexuals to Hell, because they will not repent of it if they think what they are doing is right/moral.
To identify Homosexuality as a sin gives the homosexual the same chance to repent as everyone else trapped by sexual sin, because it is no greater or worse than anyother sexual sin. It is only when we justify our sins and tell ourselves we need not repent, that we truly condemn ourselves.
