Theism is not evil. It's stupid. That's my take and the take of the majority of the people here.

Quote:Secondly, christianity doesn't teach that homosexuality is evil.

That is a lie. Romans 1:27 says,

"In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error." (NIV)

"And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet." (KJV)

Also, Jesus said that if you lust for a woman in your heart then you're guilty of adultery (Matthew 5:28). The obvious implication is that if you lust for a man in your heart then you're guilty of homosexuality.

If your claim is that it is not sinful to have homosexual urges but rather that it is sinful to act on them, then you are a liar. My quest for finding an honest apologist continues.

Quote:Christianity teaches that homosexual relations are evil.

Correct. And why do you not see the problem with that? How do you not see that as bigoted?

Quote:Christianity doesn't teach that heterosexual relations are evil, but that they are evil if performed outside of the married state.

Irrelevant. We're talking about homosexuality.

Quote:Christianity does not recognize a union between partners of the same sex as a marriage.

I know, that's because Christianity is full of bigots.

Quote:Christians who are not married are called to be celibate, as are homosexual christians.

So you are saying that if you were raised Christian, and hit puberty as a Christian, then you should not get married? The only way a Christian should be married is if they were an unbeliever and then converted after already being married?

Quote:If a christian is having sex outside of marriage they are committing an evil act.

Elaborate on what you mean by "evil."

Here's my definition:

Evil: to willfully cause harm to another.

I think this is your definition:

Evil: to willfully disobey God.

Quote:Science has come to the conclusion that the tendency for homosexuality, pedaphilia and alcoholism are innate.  Does that mean that if I think the actions stemming from these tendencies are evil then I am a bigot?  no.  Of course not.

The fact that you are lumping homosexuality in with pedophilia means you are a bigot. But we've already established that you're a liar, so what the hell, why not be a bigot too?
Jesus is like Pinocchio.  He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.
