"I don't believe homosexuality is a sin" Who gave you the right to judge what is sin and what is not?

What in the world are you talking about? Sin is determined by what your particular religion dictates. It's not immutable and it changes with the ages. When I was growing up I was told dancing was a sin, I was told listening to rock and roll was a sin. I think I have a right to judge that for me dancing is not a sin.

GOD judges it as a mortal sin

I suppose if you are Catholic he does. I am not Catholic so mortal or otherwise is irrelevant.

SCIENCE judges it to be an abomination of nature

Abomination of nature is not something one can prove with science. Abomination of nature is a pejorative term which no scientist would use. This particular point of yours is just plain silly.

Who are you or this activist judge to say otherwise?

Well, in point of fact, I can say anything I damn well please. It's protected by the constitution. I know that pesky document gets in the way for you and your zealot friends sometimes, but it's a fact of life. As to the judge, apparently he has the right to make those decisions. They may be the wrong ones and you and I can certainly do our best to oppose him, but until a higher court overturns him, he is within the law.

This judge is a tyrant, and anyone supporting this decision is acting foolishly. Debate my logic if you like.

Debate your logic? How does one debate non-existent logic?

Accuse me directly or indirectly of being mis-informed, hateful, ignorant, misguided, or bigoted, in this matter one more time and I'm done trying to help you.

Ok, but only if you promise to stop trying to help me. Here goes: you are mis-informed, hateful, ignorant, and bigoted in this matter. I don't really believe that, but if it will get you to stop trying to help me, I'm willing to throw it out there.

You still defending your position as 'just', or do you think you're being misled into doing satan's dirty work for him?

I guess as long as God has great soldiers like you and the rest to drive the sodomites out of the temple, how can Satan and I possibly win.

God tells us that faith and repentance are the keys to heaven.

Finally, something you and I see eye to eye on. I have faith, it is weak and struggle with it all the time, but it is in the struggle that my faith grows the most. Please don't tell me you never have doubts. Faith would be meaningless if it didn't require struggle to overcome doubts. At least to me, anyway. Repentance is what most of my prayers are about. Repentance and asking for forgiveness. It's very personal and I would never think about discussing it with you or anyone outside my family or my pastor. As to this issue, I have nothing to repent.

I would think you very wise, and worthy of respect, if you were to admit your mistake.

Well, you'll just have to keep thinking me unwise and unworthy of respect. On the other hand, while I respect you, I don't think wisdom is one of your strong suits. What you spout is just a lot of shallow platitudes with no real depth or thought behind them.

Reality Check:

What Free Republic is all about:

Statement by the founder of Free Republic

As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc. We also oppose the United Nations or any other world government body that may attempt to impose its will or rule over our sovereign nation and sovereign people. We believe in defending our borders, our constitution and our national sovereignty.

Free Republic is private property. It is not a government project, nor is it funded by government or taxpayer money. We are not a publicly owned entity nor are we an IRS tax-free non-profit organization. We pay all applicable taxes on our income. We are not connected to or funded by any political party, news agency, or any other entity. We sell no merchandise, product or service, and we offer no subscriptions or paid memberships. We accept no paid advertising or promotions. We are funded solely by donations (non tax deductible gifts) from our readers and participants.

We aggressively defend our God-given and first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech, free press, free religion, and freedom of association, as well as our constitutional right to control the use and content of our own personal private property. Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life.

"Ok, but only if you promise to stop trying to help me"

Deal. You're hopeless. ZOT!

"What you spout is just a lot of shallow platitudes with no real depth or thought behind them."

I have read, and understand the teachings of Christ, Jung, Darwin, Freud, the Old Testament, Einstein, and all of the widely accepted fundamental laws of physics and nature, and more historical text than I care to even remember.

The only doctrine consistent with your position is Socialism. I consider you a socialist. You can't even do that right, though.

Nearly everything you've spouted here flies directly in the face of reason. When the errors of your ways are pointed out, you deny your liberal bias, and continue on.

Your behavior here clearly demonstrates a liberal bias, as well as an abnormal, and anti-social personality.

In short; you're insane. See a professional psychologist, work it out, and quit bothering everyone here.

Later!

"What in the world are you talking about? Sin is determined by what your particular religion dictates."

You clearly stated in an earlier post that you subscribe to Christianity.

Theology (religion) is the study of faith. The religion (moral system) that you said you subscribed, Christianity, considers homosexuality a sin, and has for some time. To state otherwise is false (a lie).

Your position, and methods used to defend it, are composed of an inconsistency between morals, ethics, and behavior (liberalism), anti-social behavior (insanity), willfulness to carry on MOTS when confronted by your fellows (defiance), personal attacks (radicalism), and advancement of the gay agenda (homosexualism).

"On the other hand, while I respect you, I don't think wisdom is one of your strong suits"

Left handed compliment (insult).

"What you spout is just a lot of shallow platitudes with no real depth or thought behind them."

Lack of respect.

Ready for a dose of your own medicine?

I believe that you posess all of the necessary characteristics to promote the gay agenda and draw the continued disapproval of others involved in this discussion. I greatly respect your arrogance and contempt in this regard, as it is strictly forbidden by the Admins.

Your continuing abuse of your privilege to use this site shows that you are obviously an able soldier in the war to end public decency and install atheism as our new state-sponsored religion.

I believe that your use of mental acumen and activism, in trying to change the stance of others here, is every bit as formidable and useful as a football-bat used in the act of pounding salt.

Insulting and disrespectful, to be sure.

Shallow? Hardly.
