“Actually he did not equate homosexuality with bestiality. He was asked to identify what sin was. Both qualify.”

That’s actually what equate means.

No, that is not what equate means.

Securities fraud is a crime.
Murder is a crime.

I didn’t not just equate securities fraud and murder. However they are both clearly crimes.

Nope, both are sins, but one is not the same as the other. Murder is a sin, but murder and fudge packing are not the same.

Pedophilia is a sin but using it in the same sentence as homosexuality does not equate the two equally ugly acts.

Wrong.

If I said that hot and cold are both weather conditions, I am not equating the two, I am classifying them.

To say that homosexuality and bestiality are both sins does not "equate" them any more than saying shoplifting and murder are both crimes would equate them.

Homosexuality and beastiality and adultery are all sins involving sexual "orientaion". That does not equate them, but they are all classified under the general heading of Sin and the subheading of Sexual.

Pride is also a sin. And being Proud of your sin is much worse than simply being a slave to it. We are all slaves to sin in one way or another but few of us are Proud of our sins. The natural reaction is to be ashamed and sorry.

When you publicly identify yourself by your sin you are in a much worse spiritual condition than if you are in the closet about it. In that sense Gay Pride is a worse sin than Bestiality.

When they goat buggers start having parades, then we can officially declare our Society as spiritually dead.

No it doesn't. Equates means equal to. 3 and 7 are both prime numbers, but 3 does not equal 7.
