Is Homosexuality a sin?

[°Leprechaun]

I voted for 100% not a sin, but I would clarify with three points.

Something is only wrong if you know you are doing something wrong, so if
someone sincerely believes that they are doing nothing wrong then how
can they really be sinning? If you hurt someone, how do you feel if they
did the same to you? (golden rule), so if you know that you wouldn't want
someone to do something to you, you are being a hypocrite (and sinful) if you
do it to someone else.

2nd point, Anal sex and oral sex -if they are wrong in any way- are equally 'wrong'
if done heterosexually. I'm not saying that they are wrong, but only what's the difference
between homo vs hetero?

3rd in a philosophical sense (until we discovered artificial insemination), since up until now
virtual immorality has not been achieved, our survival as a species is dependent on heterosexuality. (however small a percentage, if 10% of us were heterosexual, heterosexuals would have to average 20 kids instead of 2)

Of course all of this is self evident, and, at least for me 'religion' has nothing to do with it.

Voters for option one are more likely to be trolls, but oh well.

 

If you follow the logic that A) The Bible is innerant and B) The Bible teaches that
all homosexuals go to hell, then, in my opinion, people who believe it to be a sin
are not bigots or trolls, just people who follow what they were raised on and
don't really think about or doubt it. I don't believe any of these things, I am just
saying one should try to see things from another's point of view. I am certainly not a religious conservative, but a religious conservative could argue that calling them a bigot or troll is as unfair as it is to hate someone simply because they are homosexual, if it's ok to "play" the devil's advocate. On the other hand, if it is ok to call religious conservatives bigots, how is that any different than what Dawkins or Harris say about all Theists?

If the religious conservatives are right, on the other hand, why has no person ever been able to change their orientation? People talk about being "ex gay" but they don't actually change their orientation, they only change their behaviour.

If God is Love, would God put any human being in such a stressful conundrum?
