Homophobia - what is your stance?

Homosexuality is sinful, though. That's a fact. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all agree on that. And I have no problem with that.

If God says that homosexuality is wrong, you have to be incredibly arrogant to go "actually god I think you're wrong, old chap. I know better than the allknowing all powerful creater of the world".

And in fact given that scripture argues that unrepeant sinners get tortured for all eternity, a religious man could reasonably argue that informing people what God judges as sin and encouraging them to not do it is the moral thing to do. If you don't warn them that God hates homosexuals, you're condeming people to horrible suffering thanks to their own ignorance. You can see why people wouldn't want that on their concious.

My argument is that essentially there is a difference between a sin and a crime. A sin harms yourself spiritually while a crime harms other people materially. Homosexuality is sinful but I don't think it's criminal and therefore the law should ignore it. And ignoring homosexuality means anything a hetrosexual couple can do legally a homosexual one should too.

There is no argument that condemns a gay marriage that isn't equally valid against a marriage of two athiests. Either scripture informs laws or it doesn't.

I don't think I can remember a post of yours that didn't stand out as logical, well thought through and articulate.

I wish i could take you for a ****jing bevvy, to be honest. You should start an AF debate thread.
