for the umpteenth time to lead someone away from his sin requires to tell him that he is a sinner to begin with, particularly with people who live in denial of their sinful conduct. This is exactly were your problem lies that you believe that practising homosexuality is not a sin because by your standards it is the expression of love. However the love Jesus talks about is not sex but the love you have between people without having sex, as sex for pleasure is an abomination as an act of selfishness. I know it is hard to accept that ones own behaviour is sinful but get over it and accept it as only once you accept being a sinner you can be lead away from your sin

Gerhard: "I'M not PUSHING MY BELIEFS on anyone!!! It's those who say things like 'homosexuality is not a sin, it's an expression of love!' that are pushing THEIR beliefs on ME! And THOSE beliefs are WRONG, while MINE are RIGHT!!!!"
Things are only sins if you believe in that religion. For instance, when I was growing up, I never felt guilty about eating meat on Fridays because my family wasn't Catholic, and I enjoy bacon cheeseburgers because I don't follow the Biblical dietary laws. I also refuse to consider the idea that sex for pleasure is an abomination.
Doesn't the Bible state that we are all sinners?
What about practicing heterosexuality?
Sex for pleasure is one of the cornerstones for our survival. As our offspring is so vulnerable and helpless when it's born, it needs several years of parental care before it can fend for itself. To keep the parents together for that extended period, nature made it so that human females have swollen mammary glands all year around, not just when we're "in heat".
I know it's hard to accept that ones imaginary friends are imaginary, Ger-Ger, but get over it and accept reality.
So, like, we know that homosexuality is a sin in your eyes. Everyone knows it. It's a thought that's been well shared, documented, illustrated... It's been said. If someone's a Christian, it's very likely they think the verses about homosexuality are a part of the OT that they will retain.
What seems to be hard for y'all to accept is that we don't care.
What's harder for you to accept is that other people do not HAVE to change their opinions, behaviors, laws as a reaction to your charges of sin.
Same as YOU don't have to change anything if WE say there are no gods, no such thing as sin, and so on.
You don't want to have sex except for procreation, then don't. Not my issue, though.
Not only is homosexuality a sin, but it's also a sin to have sex for pleasure? In your religion, they should only have sex once a month, for procreation, and through a hole in the sheet, and they should lie back and think of. . .church. Your religion sux!
As for sin. . .enjoy it! I do.
So, according to your religion, pleasure is always bad, while love is supposed to be boring...
Glad you cleared that up. Now I know that following your religion sucks and that I'm better off wallowing in hedonistic sin.
So, according to Ger here, the definition of Homosexuality is "two men doin' it in the butt"? Apparently, there's no love involved at all between gay people. Good to know.
You tell others that their business is your business, and you are required to tell them that they're sinners. I'll bet you wonder why people don't just listen to you, and why people are unwilling to have you lead them. That pretty much makes you a failure at evangelism, and I'll bet you blame them rather than looking in the mirror.
Josh Buggar.
No wonder so many fundies lived in a certain river in Egypt about he being the thrice -sinner he was.
Someone 'Saved': yet continued to sin. And be the hyper-hypocrite he was? He alone destroys the whole concept of 'Sin': and therefore your right to be judgemental about anyone not exactly like you in perpetuity.
You are the sinners, o fundie Christains. And we Atheists, LGBT people and non -fundie Theists aren't. Get over it.
But what if I don't agree with your interpretation of sin? Also, the Song of Solomon. Which, to be fair isn't Jesus, but as part of the Bible is presumably approved by God.
...how, pray tell, can it be an "act of selfishness" when, by definition, it requires two or more eager participants?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
