TL; DR, but it sounds like you are trying really hard to justify homophobia even though you know in your heart that it's okay to be gay. Good luck with that. I recommend visiting an Episcopalian or Presbyterian church and talking with their priest or pastor. They are usually more highly educated in theology than conservative evangelical ministers, too.

I think it is really sad that you threw in homophobia in what has otherwise been a completely civil discussion.  I made clear I have absolutely no animus towards gay people, what makes me homophobic?  Deal with your bugaboos before you call other people names.[/quote]

If you try to convince yourself and other people that being gay is a sin, that's homophobia. If that word makes you react, maybe you want to reconsider trying so hard to justify your church's position. [/quote]

What exactly does homophobia mean in this context?  I think you are just angry at what I wrote so you just call me a name.  If you randomly called me a racist, and I said "Hey guy I am not a racist," does that mean that I need to reconsider whether or not I am a racist?  That makes no sense.

I am not talking about my church's position, but whether the Bible calls homosexuality a sin.  Based on a plain reading, it appears that it does.  Your problem is with the Bible, not with me.  I am just interesting in finding out how other people think about this issue.  [/quote]
