I see your the touchy apologist for the left failing at logic as well.

Me?

The author of the weekly Useful Idiot Caption-A-Rama?

The coordinator of the KerryTrack protest ping lists?

The daily attendee at the DUmmie FUnnies?

An apologist for the Left?

Sure, and the Pope's Japanese. Is it a mark of christianity in your view to accuse people without evidence?

Understanding WHY homosexuality is wrong isn't hard to do in secular terms let alone in Biblical terms.

So the Bud-man explained it to her. What's the big deal, especially when what she wrote in the article makes it clear she was halfway there already and just needed a little course correction? You act as if it's a major crisis of the Faith that somebody asked these questions.

You don't know if this is a "young Christian" or not.

Ahem. It's in the first line of the article: "I’m at my wits’ end,” the young woman wrote. Note that the author of the book being discussed works with college students. Even if she was saved at a very young age, she was probably wrestling with these issues for the first time; a kid saved at 3 doesn't run into sexual issues any earlier than a kid saved at 8.

Regardless either common sense should kick in or you simply have faith that what is written is true.

Do you know of any credible philosophy that looks poorly on questions about it's tenets? Christianity isn't one, no matter how much you believe it is. What you're advocating reminds me more of the Jehovah's Witnesses than anyone like Aquinas, Augustine or Paul.

You don't have to read the entire Bible to realize that stealing and lying and homosexuality are wrong. Your excuses aren't cutting it.

She didn't ask whether it was wrong, but why it was wrong. And "excuses"? Aren't you getting a little worked up here?

If I was approached by her, I'd show it to her in the Bible where it was denounced. If she chose to disbelieve that then yes, I would think to myself that her will over God's will and word is what prevails with her.

Showing her those passages would be a good idea, but the problem is that she wouldn't have been asking the questions she was asking if she were doubting that God's word is true. So you would show her stuff she already believes, not deal with her questions and pat yourself on the back like a good ~~Jehovah's Witness overseer~~ Christian who sees questions as a threat and sign of unbelief. When someone is the victim of secular propaganda as this young woman was, part of our duty is to counteract that propaganda, and you would leave that duty by the wayside in an effort to avoid compromising the Faith, even though the propaganda was attacking the Faith in the first place.

Part of "having an answer for the hope that we have" is accepting the question in the first place. Part of seasoning our conversation with salt so we know how to answer everyone is to accept the question.
