David Shelton does a pretty good job teeing off on “loving” Christian acquaintances who share their view of just how sinful homosexuality is:
“You know, that isn’t God’s best.” and “It’s a sin just like stealing, murder and rape.”
… Note how the comparison list almost always goes to the worst of the worst. Why not compare this “sin” to something a little more common in today’s churches? You know, like gluttony, sloth, envy, and gossip?
You see, even if you think being gay is a sin (which it is not) or that having gay sex is a sin (except in marriage, which you don’t want us to have), why does it always go to murder? Rape? Pedophilia? Simple: because real Christians don’t do those sort of things. Therefore, gay people can’t be real Christians. But hey, if I stop being gay (read: having gay sex)… I can join your club of fat, lazy, envious gossips.
No thanks. I’m not sure I want to get too close to that kind of activity.
