[Context: A response to "Yes, You Hate Me" in which a Progrsssive Christian calls out evangelical homophobia, in the wake of the Orlando Massacre.]

Just because you have urges to do something doesn't mean you should, and just because people tell you acting on your urges is wrong, doesn't mean they hate you. You twist the sermon on the mount beyond recognition. Jesus says looking on a woman with lust is committing adultery. What then would a man looking at a man with lust, or a woman looking at a woman with lust be to Jesus? Following your line of reasoning leads to having no standards.

Did you know that there are people in the world who identify as zoophiles, and believe that having sex with animals is just an expression of love? And no, I'm not saying bestiality is equivalent to homosexuality, or saying acceptance of one inevitably leads to the other. The point I'm making is all of your arguments could be used to say we must accept the actions of those people. I mean most people have a visceral disgust for bestiality, does that mean they are headed for hellfire?

God has standards which He's laid out for us to follow. Those standards don't revolve solely around consent and love. No one is saying you don't have every right to exist exactly as you are. They're saying you shouldn't follow every urge you feel. What you like to do to get yourself off is not who you are. And, hey, you have the right to do those things anyway. Nobody is trying to take your legal right to have sex with who you want away. They're just informing you that God doesn't approve of it, as you'll find confirmed in both scripture and church tradition.

I would have a lot more respect for you if you would just stop applying the Christian label to yourself. In every article you seem to revile the teachings of scripture. You don't seem to hold a confident belief in any traditional Christian doctrine. I doubt you really believe the resurrection occurred or believe there is a personal God or afterlife. So why do you cling to the title Christian?

There's only one possible answer. You're trying to ruin Christianity for everyone else. It's very insidious. You know that you don't believe in it any more, but rather than just leave Christians alone to their own devices and enjoy your life of Godless sapphic hedonism, you have to destroy it for the rest of us. You can't stand that anyone else goes on believing what you once did, so you creep in like a wolf among sheep, calling yourself a Christian so you can stealthily inject your anti-family doctrines into the minds of the innocent. You won't be happy until wives turn against husbands, sons and daughters turn against mothers and fathers, and every traditional Christian belief is jettisoned. You want churches to become secular humanist self-help philosophy centers with a thin veneer of Christianity.

I'm a live and let live type. While I'd prefer you were a Christian, I would much prefer you go about your life as an atheist/agnostic polyamorous intersectional bisexual and leave us Christians alone, rather than roleplaying as a Christian so you can drag others down with you. Show some intellectual honesty for once in your life. There's no point in being lukewarm, you'll get spat out anyway.
