It's no more offensive than if somebody were to say, "I wonder if Satan is an Indian. I wonder if Satan is very rude. Does he own a convenience store? Does he worship cows?"

"obviously, Jeremy, we're going to be seeing this differently.
My name is Jeremiah, Ayani, and I am glad that I see things differently.

But they rarely stop at stating what they believe. They usually put their beliefs into action, cruelly and hatefully acting to hurt others -- often by political action and almost always by supporting religious leaders who urge such action.
If they would stop at stating what they believe, I'd be more or less content with them. I'd submit, though, that anybody who says they don't harm anybody by stating what they believe has never been a gay child growing up with such people as parents.

"why should people of faith who are opposed to homosexuality as being a spiritually correct mode of existence and identity have to keep quiet or keep their beliefs behind closed doors?'
It is wrong because it is done in ignorance, it is unnecessary and it hurts people; despite the best of intentions.
"there is a big difference between stating what one believes, vs. cruelly or hatefully acting to hurt another person based on how they feel."
The difference is one person and that is not much. It is the proliferate of the idea that is the root of the problem and even with good intentions you aid the evil along.

Sorry, what I wrote was probably innappropriate communicated. When I noted the stereotype it was with the intent of acknowledging that it is just a stereotype.
...and then parodying satan who I do not believe in.

129 pages of comments and people are still blathering about how gaydom will destroy us all? Wow.
Nothing wrong with advocating homosexuality as a sin. Because it is. Where people mess up is stating that you are automatically doomed or that you are a lesser class of person because of homosexuality which simply is not true. Homosexuality is sinful just the same as vanity or gluttony, which most Americans are guilty of one way or the other. The day people learn to accept the fact that it is sin and not a unforgivable sin will be a good day for all.

Well that's your opinion. In my opinion, idiocy is a sin. So I guess we're all guilty of something, eh?

We gays are mighty powerful, so powerful that our mere presence unbalances space-time continuum. :rainbow1:

I hear from my very reliable Conservative sources that gaydom makes one grow devil horns. Is this true?

No, this is where people mess up; "Because it is." "Because" is not a justifiable reason, to case something as a sin, and is a very brainless position.
"Homosexuality is sinful just the same as vanity or gluttony, which most Americans are guilty of one way or the other. "
Homosexuality is harmless, so how is it "the same" as vanity or gluttony which have clear harmful side-effects? Also, with this comparison here you have exposed your hypocrisy.

Butt sechs is a clear harmful side-effect. God intended that orifice to be one-way only, sir. If God puts up the traffic signs, you better obey 'em.

Homosexuality is harmful.
It makes straight women jealous
It's harmful to me, at least. My girlfriend is bisexual. This increases the chance of her finding someone more suitable than me. It expands her selection pool by 100%.
Me, on the other hand, am straight. I always get the short end of the stick

Makes sense to me. I can probably find a Bible verse that supports this.

I'm going to be a little narcissistic and quote myself.
Sadly, this is the most credible anti-homosexual argument I've seen in this thread.

I can relate!
My boyfriend is bisexual are we are in a -distant- relationship. It's really hard not to get paranoid when you know that most men cheat when they are only temped by half the population.
