Why don't we discuss fornicators,slanderers,thieves,adulterers,like we do homosexuals?

Because fornicators, slanderers, thieves, adulterers are not trying to convince the whole world that the bible says it's ok to fornicate slander, steal, commit adultery and convince everyone that the above is normal and acceptable behavior.

[jocon307]

Well meg, those people are certainly considered sinners, although I admit the fornicators & adulterers have been getting a bit of a break lately. But I doubt the Episcopals would be nominating for Bishop some heterosexual lothario who had mutliple affairs or just catted around. And as for the drunks, the Baptists, at least, maybe others, certainly other individuals, consider drinking at all a sin. (Mormons, there are some others.)

Notice that none of these offenses are said to be equivalent to murder or rape or other violent acts. So I think these must be "sins" that many feel are not so sinful. Do any of us really think that human nature has changed much in two thousand, or six thousand, or ten thousand years? I believe it hasn't changed at all.

Because they are not the same as the sin of homosexuality, which is a sin against both God and nature. Even more importantly, there are no organized groups out there proudly calling themselves "theives and adulterers", who go about trying to legitimize their sin by pushing for minority status and asking for public funding for their health care, and even promoting their filth amongst our children in public schools. Get it yet?

Could it be because only one of the above has an organized, political agenda to make their immoral behavior acceptable, even appreciated?

This is not an answer to your question but a thought your question brings back to mind. In the bible we see many prostitutes getting almost honorable mention. There are lots of prostitutes in the bible but the two that come to mind as honorable mention are Rahab who helps Isreal take Jerico(sp) and the 2 prostitutes that come to Solomon. I can't help but notice that these two prostitutes are more loving mothers than a lot of the carreer women and sluts of today that kill their unborn babies.

But you never every once see anywhere in the bible and honorable mention of a Sodomite. They are simply called dogs and there is never one that does anything note worthy in the bible except to try and rape other men.

[Just mythoughts]

I thought that's what we do when we talk about bjclinton.

Most bank robbers go to jail.

NOw the slanderers "lying liberals" do get a pass.

Thus far the "fornicators, slanderers, thieves, and adulterers have not demanded and been given, their acts declared a "civil right".

[Always Right]

Why don't we discuss fornicators,slanderers,thieves,adulterers,like we do homosexuals?

Because there are not activists for theives and adulterers trying to normalize the behavior, trying to teach its acceptance in our schools, trying to gain extra legal protection for their behavior, actively promoting the behavior, trying to demonize anyone who does not accpet the behavior, etc, etc, etc....

Because this isn't a Clinton-bashing thread!

I think that we are discussing homosexuals becasue we are already at the bottom of that slippery slope of sexual immorality. Society has already given the fornicators and adulterers a pass in previous generations and homos are the last bastion we have to fight in this generation. In previous generations it was just as taboo to have sex outside of marriage, or to cheat on your spouse but those days are no longer.

It doesn't make the Bible wrong- it just makes us wrong.

I believe it's because fornicators, slanderers. thieves and adulterers don't have an agenda to make their "lifestyle" accepted as the norm.
