you really seem socially-morally blinded. Some of your morals are based on inequity- thats my point

So are yours. You argue that my lifestyle is invalid becuase I argue that another lifestyle is invalid.

your generalising way too much now Ethereal. We are being specific on homosexuality and the morals that follow it. I do not claim you beliefs are invalid. Im saying that in terms of homosexuality you are disrespectful and inequite

you are disrespectful because you believe in prejudging homosexuals as sinners . you don't believe that all of humanity should be treated and respected equally

Most people would agree with me on that, why do you think we have a criminal system at all? People should be treated with love but their lifestyles do not have to be condoned. I knew a few hardcore druggies in school I was friends with some but that doesn't mean I have to encourage their behaviour. I also had some gay friends in school too good people but I do not have to condone their lifestyle choice.

the sad thing is mate...you prejudge homosexualities. THAT IS THE POINT! don't make excuses because all it is telling people is that you are hiding away. it is unfortunately a part of you to do so because you are apparently a 'christian'. Disrespect and inequality to the extreme.

Prejudgement is often a necessary thing. I do not dislike gays but I do find their lifestyles to be incorrect. Same as I prejudge potheads, and sexually promiscuous persons. This does not mean I do not care about or love these people it simply means I have categorized them by their actions.

Can you honestly say that you never prejudge anyone?

Unlike you I'm not superficial and so shallow that I need to prejudge people on their sexuality. I may have initially prejudged someone but to very little constraint. I do not then believe that they are more or less equal. the level you go to- is disrespect and inequity AS I HAVE JUST SAID BEFORE.

You misunderstand. The people are equal the lifestyle is not. Would you accept incest?
