Well, personally I'm an atheist so I have no problem with being gay. And in any case, I believe in doing what is right and not doing what is wrong. Not basing my life around the idea of "sins" and "commandments." My being gay does not hurt anyone else and it makes me happy, therefore I don't see how it can be considered wrong and I feel that it is right for me.

Speak only for yourself. This may come as a surprise to you, but not everybody believes as you do.

Yes it's a sin, but so it littering. Pollution from factories is a sin, eating at McDonald's is sin. Using pesticides are a sin. Killing an animal on the road with you car is a sin.

Pretty much anything other than a simple agrarian society is a sin.

You think homosexuality is a sin and I think you have the mental capacity of a toad. We're even, now go read your book and leave the reasonable people alone.

Sin is a concept only relevant to those who take a work of bronze age fiction seriously

My post was aimed at the OP, not you shrox. My bad, should have quoted his post or some such.


As far as what you mean by sin, I have an idea but I also don't really care.

Atheism follows under the same tree its been around just as long as religion of any kind these are facts plus if everyone believed the same thing it would contradict Issac Newtons third law of motion.

Because it is not evil. Taking a wider world view, it is not evil.
There are those that label it as a "sin" because of their adherence to one or other of the many self professed "correct ways to live".
I wish I could say that those people are entitled to feel that way if they so choose, but unfortunately this idea of it as a sin is at the root of persecution. Strange how loving someone can be wrong, and hating someone can be right.....
