My moral stance? It's because I am more morally evolved than him so I don't see homosexuals as immoral.
So I see it in a way that I should be teaching him and not the other way around, especially when he defends slaughter of Canaanites and their children because they were debauched and sinful and therefore deserved to be slaughtered.

Then he should know better. Try talking to some philosophy professors and see if they even know of him.

That's the point of this topic that he isn't any different "thinker" than Ken Ham and other Christian clowns.

But that's the thing, his arguments are not logical. Kalam cosmological argument has been debunked as illogical and all Craig does is that he insists he is right and ignores any arguments that he is wrong.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
