I understand your points and appreciate your respectful comments. Some of the behavior in the gay community is harmful and dangerous, leaving the religious implications aside. I would imagine that the same gratuitous and reckless hetrosexual behavior is equally harmful.

I know a few gay individuals and a few couples. I can’t speak to how all of them behave but my neighbors are a gay couple. My wife and I have spent time with them, they are generous, church-goesers, fairly conservative, and seem to honor and respect each other. Its very difficult for to find fault with them, let alone not recognize that at every chance they get, they seem to be doing God’s work.

I think we need less fire and brimstone on this issue and more compassion. Alcoholism and drug addiction are without question harmful to our culture and yet we find great compassion for its suffers, I think that same logical should be applied.

Nobody is trying normalize alcoholism and drug addiction as perfectly acceptable alternative lifestyles which we should encourage and celebrate. And it's not compassion to indulge a lifestye which the Bible says will keep a person out of heaven. Nor is it compassion to set an example that one can pick and choose for themselves which precepts of God to accept and which to discard all depending on one's own personal preference just so long as in the process they remain convinced they are basically a "good person".

If we had honest social studies and public health information, you would have no doubt that sexual sin (hetero and homo) is extremely harmful both mentally and physically...which adds up economically. Ignorance is the friend of the ones who promote sexual sin.

Look at the economic and social caranage of single parenthood and then realize that communists promote sexual sin for a political reason. They do not mind breaking eggs on the way to Utopia.
