That was already asked and answered. Try to keep up.
I'm not here to try to change anyone's mind. They may certainly believe whatever it is they choose to believe.
I believe homosexuality is a sin. No "better" or "worse" than any other sin, but still a sin, which means it is a choice.

Why is homosexuality a sin?

There's this book called the Bible. Maybe you've heard of it, since it's the best selling book of all time. I happen to believe what's written in it. Homosexuality being a sin is one of those things (although I know it's now possible to get a version that doesn't say that). Treating homosexuals the same as everyone else is another of those things. Maybe give it a read sometime, instead of spending so much time arguing here. I'm sure you're capable of Googling (or whatever) the exact verses for either of the above comments and more.

I hope you don't own any property, because the Bible also says that's a sin (Leviticus 25:23).

As is eating bacon (Leviticus 11:4).

So you think homosexuals are "free" to sin, but land-owners and bacon-eaters are not?
All are sins that are chosen (unless you're claiming some people are born natural bacon-eaters too). You trying to make my case for me, or what? This is too easy.
Let's try an alternate discussion: since you want to accept that homosexuals are born that way simply because they might say they were, are you willing to accept that pedophiles are born that way and should therefore be accepted too?

Do you understand what "consenting adult" means?

Is it in the bible?

One step at a time, Mr. Bible.

Do you agree that owning land is a sin because the Bible says so?

HEY all3! Sup? I'll tell you what's a sin. It's a sin you even have to explain common sense. The rest of us get it. You have a few bigoted, intolerant junkies who live in Contentionville next to Argument City just north of Wrangletown. They are pests and it is the reason we moved in the first place. And yet they follow you while continuing to bash what little humanity left to them against a wall of unchangeable truth. The truth is so clear and the lies so evident it hardly warrants discussion. They are lost and will never understand. They will continue to knock on your door, not asking to come in, but demanding entry under their terms. And should you open the door and accede to their every whim and demand, it would not be enough. They would find new injustice and demand the impossible to reality and expect continuation and return. They are NUTS!

You're dealing with a bunch of ignorant people. They never read the Bible. They never will. They will never go to Church. They will never pray. They will never have a personal relationship. They will never be touched by GOD. They don't understand the life changing instant of GOD touching that part of you which is not flesh. They'll never experience it. You are now attacked by barbarians who perceive themselves as enlightened and intelligent without the knowledge you have acquired and they are unwilling to acknowledge or receive. GOD is not on their daily planner.

SO! When they talk to you about the Bible or Christianity, we accept they are unarmed and speaking from the pit of ignorance. Had they met GOD, their tone and demeanor would change. We would recognize it.

We do recognize Satan. We reject it. We fight and die for our freedom. We lay our souls upon the boughs of mercy and forgiveness. JESUS CHRIST is the only salvation.

Maybe I missed something but the faith I was taught was all about love. All I hear from you "Christians" is how much you hate everything and everybody. That was not what Sister Mary Amato taught us.

Hell doesn't sound all that nice. Did Sister Mary Amato ever mention it?

ONLY WHEN SHE SPOKE OF YOU

The guy's a ******* retard. Cut him a break.

I know. I'm just trying to figure out how far down the spectrum he is.

Hasn't he reached a point so low that it no longer matters?

You, Mike, and the rest of the "I Love to Argue" gang are obviously free to post whatever you want, and are certainly free to disagree as much as you want relative to religion, homosexuality, or anything else, but I really do wish you would get some reading comprehension. Nowhere, nowhere at all will you see hate towards "everything and everybody" from me. (Toward Mike once in a while? Yes.) Of course, if you guys weren't free to make sheit up, you'd have nothing to post.

all3 is The Great Uniter.

Right-leaners(tec/myself) and left-leaners(taint/bracco) agree that he's a total dumbass.

Congrats, all3?

People at both extremes think I'm wrong? Yeah, I'm good with that. Very good.

You're doing something at least as bad as what you're saying others do. You're labeling someone based on a few of their opinions. Yes, I have some conservative opinions, but I also have some progressive/liberal ones too. I don't classify myself as one thing, or lock myself into always viewing things one way (or voting one way). I take each issue an an individual basis. More people should try it.

As far as trying to bash someone for spelling and the like, maybe you should start with yourself. This is horrid:

It's not really a "debate". It's a circular discussion that usually becomes a nonsensical barrage of repeated, and answered, questions from BL ends with BL going off on a tangent when he realizes his point is stupid.

Guess some of the Clinton "Do as I say not as I do." and "Rules are for other people." belief has rubbed-off on you.

Look, dumbass, your comments on homosexuality put you in a deep right wing corner. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that but don't pretend you're in the middle.

I'm in the middle. That's why it's so easy for me to mock those on the extreme ends. I could care less about abortion or legalizing pot. I think The Bible is stories made up my men with agendas but believe there is a Higher Power(no idea if it's God, Allah, Buddah or whatever people worship). I think the Repubs are morons for going after porn under the "Think about the children" mantra. I'll be damned if I want to give up my guns regardless of how many cops/blacks/criminals/innocent children get shot. I don't really give a flying **** if Jack and Bob want to get "married" but I also don't get why they have to call it "marriage" when offered "civil union" with all the bells and whistles of marriage. I do believe every time we get more "liberties" that a little bit of America dies because, when we're given an inch, we demand a mile. I want my Freedom of Speech but I'm so tired of seeing protests for everything. Get a ******* job and improve this country. And, in closing, Trump and Hillary are a ******* nightmare. Neither of them will make this country better. Might as well choose the other as running mates and hope we can do better in 2020.

That's the middle. You're not there.

This is "extreme"? Is it extreme left or right?

More proof, as if it was needed, that you're a total dumbass.
