      According to the Bible, engaging in homosexual activity is dishonouring God.

      I’m just saying what the Bible says.

      Romans 1:26-27

      For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

          John 8:1-11

          but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.

            God is so infallible he changes his mind on what is right and wrong, but let’s treat a snapshot in time of his teachings from a couple thousand years ago as eternally true!

              So if you aren’t a Christian, why do you care? We don’t need to conform to your beliefs.

                When Christians stop using their religion to force laws onto the general populace I will stop caring.

                I don’t care about the other religions that aren’t popular enough to do that here, just the one that negatively impacts me and the people around me.

                  I’m not doing that. I already said that. You still took issue.

                  1 Corinthians 5:12 ESV

                  For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church whom you are to judge?
