Homosexuality is not a sin

I totally agree that it's not harmful to others or to the gay person unless they're subjected to illegal abuse.

I'm not woke, however. I won't call an aberration normal just for the sake of somebody's feelings.

Species evolved with a method for procreation, and while the method is used by us more recreationally than with the intent to procreate,
it still represents physical normality.

Gay people have no culpability whatsoever for being abnormal, but that doesn't mean we have to regard them as normal, anymore than somebody born with twelve toes and eight fingers.

It all falls into line with my overall way of thinking, I suppose.

Everybody is entitled to equal opportunity and equal status under the law.
I regard that as an absolute until somebody actually does something genuinely heinous to forfeit it (like voting Republican, for example).
Even then, since we don't know for certain that free will actually exists, they shouldn't necessarily be punished--merely humanely euthanized for societal expedience.
ONLY if they exhibit violent antisocial behavior, however. (Like voting Republican.)

Woke doesn't work for me. Neither does "me too" long after the offending incident. That makes innocent people too vulnerable to accusation.
That's how we lose good people like Al Franken and Andrew Cuomo.

All of this helps explain my status as an economic progressive liberal that many other social liberals do not like.

But I've never believed, and will never believe, that any of us is entitled to never feel insulted or uncomfortable.
Our feelings cannot and should not be protected under the law.

It's "normal" because they're adhering to how they were born, and not harming anyone.

"Abnormal" would be if they forced themselves to be w/ the opposite sex just for appearances' sake.
 
Like all Christians I pick and chose what parts of the Bible I find to be valid. Most Christian’s won’t admit that.

Nope, I am right. Have you ever read The Bible?? Maybe page through Leviticus sometime... or Matthew... or Romans... all sorts of passages about how homosexuality is a sin and how God detests it.

Chapter and verse ,where Jesus said it!
FYI ,heterosexual lust and fornication is a sin too!
If you want to play the sex sin card!

Jesus says you are wrong and I gave you that passage.

What Jesus DID do was offer an alternative. As he was the only one to ever live a sinless life (according to the law which he taught throughout his life) he offered himself to atone for the sins of the world.

But there is a price for that, you have to accept him as your lord and savior and repent of your sins. They are still sins. And there are LOADS of specific sins he did not mention. But it doesnt matter as he was not altering the nature of sin but rather the manner of forgiveness. Please not that he usually would send a newly forgiven sinner off with 'go forth and sin no more'.

No one that has accepted Jesus has ever lived a sinless life!
