It all depends on a person's culpability, and that is something we can't speculate on. We can't say "so and so committed ____ act so they are going to Hell," or anything like that.
I do agree with the Church that the ideal scenario for a child is to have a mom and a dad. But between staying in the orphanage/foster homes and having same sex parents, I'd pick the latter for sure, and I don't doubt for a minute that they can't be good parents.
I've heard studies and testimonials of both claims being made (about what family structure is better), so in the end I think it becomes a matter of opinion and which stance makes the most sense to you.
There is no "deal breaker"?
Ok, so when Hitler died all he had to do to get into heaven was say "oops, my bad"?
How sick.
Right. I know this topic has been beaten to death, but this is exactly why I laugh when theists say that atheists can't know right from wrong, or that we have no incentive to be moral. What incentive is there for a Christian when they know they've got a divine mulligan in their pocket that they can use at any time; even in the final moments of a life spent causing nothing but pain and suffering to others?
The moral of the story? As a Christian, you can do what ever you want, as long as you apologize. It's a lot like telling your kid he can't come out of 'time out' until he says he's sorry.
