Wow. Are you perfect and sinless? Why do you chose to pick on this particular "sin"? Even if I try to view things from your perspective, I cannot understand, from the religious viewpoint, why homosexuality gets elevated. The only reason I can see has nothing to do with theology, it has to do with money and politics. The religion industry raises funds by appealing to people's disdain for the other. By creating an enemy that is mostly external to the church (homosexuals), they can comfortably raise funds because you feel you are doing GOD's work by donating without feeling threathened. If they were to attack other sins like greed they would have a real problem because the entire economy is based upon people being greedy. How about adultery? Half of all marriages end in divorce, these are people who broke their vows to GOD, but instead the US churches have endorsed second marriages...because it's a market opportunity...gotta get that squash court in the basement of the new church. We are all imperfect. As we lead our imperfect lives, in this imperfect world, we have to make some choices. As gay people, some of the choices we have are as follows: a) pretend to be straight and marry someone. The problem is that one will never feel happiness and never provide the depth of love for the spouse. In all likelihood another life (the spouse) will have been a wasted opportunity to find true love. b)Live a life of celibacy. This leads to a life where you never fall in love,never actually learn to care for another person in a way that long-time couples do. c) Come out of the closet and try to share your life with someone. Learn to take care of someone, have them take care of you. Console them when they're down, share in their happiness and sadness. Learn about compromise and sharing. These are aspects that make us all better humans. One could consider other options, but this is the way I see it. If the roles were reversed would you be able to choose any other option?
