I asked him if he would like to smoke some dried poison ivy leaves. Then I offered him a nice hemlock salad.
If you want to do something, and you're going to do it regardless of consequences, just do it! Don't play childish, legalist games to justify it. Remember, however, that denying the consequences won't make them go away.
I say before you ask homosexuals to give up their inclination, why don’t you give up your own. There are a great deal of posters on this thread who are quoting the words of St. Paul. Well here’s a passage for you:
In the Holy Bible, Saint Paul says that Christians should remain single and abstain from sex. The New Testament says that people should get married only if they are too weak-willed to abstain from sex:
“It is well for a man not to touch a woman…. It is well … to remain single as I do. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion.” (I Corinthians 7:1, 8-9)
Be Christian, follow the Bible to its fullest. Condemn a homosexual? Sure. But first foreswear your wife and be abstinant for a year or more. Otherwise, for God’s sake shut the hell up and read the Bible, this time with the intention of actually practicing what you preach to the letter. Stop making excuses for your own weakness while condemning weakness in others. Take the log from your own eye.
It all keeps coming back to you and your actions.
