Can you think homosexuality is a sin and not be a bigot?

Of course. Many Christians admit that it's a sin, but do not force their views onto homosexuals or society. Many accept that it's a part of our society and there's nothing wrong with that, because sin is ultimately always a part of society... from drinking, smoking, swearing, etc...

A bigot would be someone who acts on this belief negatively and actively oppresses homosexuals.

Better take a look at the Muslims but my bad you Leftist support the Religion of Islam that does not hold your views of gays !

Side: yep

Yes. But to think this way you either have to reduce the importance of sin or expand many common activities to the realm of sin. For example, drinking, tattoos, and lustful thoughts.

Typically religious people believe that everyone sins, and they accept that they personally sin. I've heard some religious people say that all sin is the same in the eyes of god. Which means the Veteran with the tattoo on his shoulder is as sinful as the gay guy in their eyes.

The bigot is the one who would have thanked the Vet if he didn't know the Vet was gay.

So how do Muslims view homosexuality ? Give up a good explanation !

Side: nope

yes, it is thoroughly possible that one might believe homosexuality is a sin and not be a bigot, living example? Milo Yiannopolous.

It depends on your actions, but yes. You can believe your religion told you homosexuality is a sin but then still treat homosexuals with kindness and compassion. If you do it that way then you're not a bigot. OR, you can believe your religion told you homosexuality is a sin and then try to punish them for it, through laws or discrimination or violence or simply through obnoxious posts on the interent. If you do it that way then yes you ARE a bigot.

Such prejudge of someone's sexuality is the epitome of intolerance and bigotry.

Homosexuality is an abnormal condition over which the afflicted have no control.

Why would anyone other than a bigot think they had the right to sit in judgment and deem as sinful the way some people are born?

Side: nope

So if I am a bigot, then you are a bigot for not accepting me for being born this way and considering my bigotry as bad?

No, it is not only wholly wrong to permit bigotry to fester but also dangerous.

Bigotry such as Hitler's bigotry against Jews spawned the ''final solution'' which resulted in the slaughter of 6 million innocent men, women and children.

The Klu Klux Klan's bigotry against our black brothers has been the cause of death, grief and hardship for many 1000s.

Bigotry in Northern Ireland resulted in ''THE TROUBLES'' which saw the murder of over 3000 people and countless life changing injuries along with the destruction of it's businesses and infrastructure from which it has never recovered.

This is why bigotry, whether hiding behind the cloak of some religious doctrine or not, must be confronted and exposed for what it is.

NOTE THE WISE WORDS OF MARTIN NIEMOLLER.

''FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE SOCIALISTS AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT AS I WAS NOT A SOCIALIST.

THEN THEY CAME FOR THE TRADE UNIONISTS AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT AS I AM NOT A TRADE UNIONIST.

THEN THEY CAME FOR THE JEWS AND I DID NOT SPEAK OUT AS I AM NOT A JEW.

THEN THEY CAME FOR ME AND THERE WAS NO ONE LEFT TO SPEAK FOR ME''.

Take heed.

Hello bront:

Gay marriage wasn't even an issue in this election. Gay marriage isn't blocked. It's legal last I checked. Most of us couldn't care less. It's not the 1960's-1980's anymore.
