The problem with that is that it sounds contradictory. I'm fine if you view homosexuality as wrong, but at the same time, by saying that you should then "love all mankind," that pretty much contradicts the fact that homosexuality is wrong. Keep in mind that the Bible condoned stoning especially for homosexuals.

With the whole believing in a higher power...that's the thing. Faith is when you have no good reason to believe in something. The problem with God's existence is how there's more than one god not just according to the three major religions, but there are also Zororastrianism, Hinduism, etc. And then there's the olden myths such as Greek Mythology, Egyptian mythology, Norse mythology, etc. Egyptian mythology in particular predates Judaism. My issue with Christianity is the fact that it is subjectively considered the one true religion...but there are many other belief systems. Why would Christ be real when you have other gods such as Zeus, Mithra, the Roman equivalents of the other gods, etc.

And the fact is that, again, you're basing your stance on homosexuality solely on a book. That in itself is an impractical reason to find it as wrong. I mean, eating shellfish is a sin, and yet, many non-Jewish people eat it without any harm coming to them. The fact is that sin is basically whatever is deemed to be against God's standards. I don't mind if you feel that you should adhere to a higher power, but I do not agree with your stance on why it's wrong.

But ultimately, there is no hot blood between us.
