How is it "stone throwing" to believe that a thing which God calls "an abomination" is a bad idea? Especially when the subject at hand is someone asking "Why does God call this activity wrong?"

One of the things people miss about the stone-throwing parable is that the people standing around holding the stones were preachers involved in a plot to kill an innocent man. One is hardly in a similar position when one says, "Homosexuality is wrong." I could sit here and list a whole host of things I've done that are wrong...the stone thrower is not the one who believes that sin is sin, the stone thrower is the one who believes his or her sin is OK, or that he or she not a sinner, or that someone else is a "real sinner" and he or she is not.

Another thing people miss is that Jesus said "Go, and sin no more."

Personally do I think homosexuality is normal --- no

Do I think there is any religion that endorses it --- no

Do I think God sees sex strictly for pleasure any different --- nope on that also

Not to nitpick, but if you are going to debate the meaning of scripture, you might want to have a firmer grasp on what the bible actually says.
