A question for a devoted Christian.

people are equal the lifestyle is not

It is not a contradiction. A person is no less human because of his actions. Actions are not equal but people are.
Answer the incest question, or do you prejudge that behaviour?

"Speak out, even if what you have to say is unpopular"

Think about actions and people. If we are more or less depending on our actions then how do we compare to people like Ghandi or Mother Theresa? We would be less equal than them, but we would be more equal than a person like Saddam Hussein.

"Speak out, even if what you have to say is unpopular"

a definition of incest: Sexual relations between persons who are so closely related that their marriage is illegal or forbidden by custom.
NOTICE- the term ILLEGAL . at a personal level who cares if it is a legal moral code! this is moral judgement from others on what shouldn't be accepted. it is not my moral judgement.
No i do not prejudge it! as i've already established prejudgement is extreme disrespect and against my morals of equity.

No one is more or less equal

of course i challenge the law. it is unequal for all in certain areas. law is a term. it is not a personality

The whole purpose of law is to discriminate this is why we have jails.
The law is flawed because it creates loopholes. Homosexuality is a huge legal loophole? So if you challenge the law you challenge its loopholes therefore you challenge homosexuals.

The concept of judging intolerance is not, in any way, similar to the judgement one may make towards homosexuals.

Homosexuals are not scientifically proven to be a harm to those around them, hence to judge them as morally wrong has no basis. It is intolerance without any real justification.

Whereas the concept of murder, and also Christian intolerance, are both characteristics within individuals that affect other individuals that may not want to be affected.

This creates a very distinct divergence between different moral beliefs. Some affect others in negative ways when they may not want to be affected, and others protect the individual liberties and rights of individuals.

For Christianity to state, openly, that homosexuals are sinful, and in the old testament that they should be put to death, clearly places Christianity in the similar realm of Nazism.

It is a stereotype that is in no way statistically or scientifically proven, and is placed on individuals who have little say in being a part of the group they are being stereotyped for.

If you can, in any way, logically and statistically prove to me that there is somehow a large difference between the way Nazis regarded gays and the way Christians regard gays, i'd be all ears. The very fact that there is very little difference between the two is frightening, for Nazis punished gays for being gay in the exact same manner that they punished Jews. This means that Christianity has the potential to support conduct that could very well result in mass killing.

Hence, if a Christian wishes to seperate their intolerent and illogical beliefs about gays from those of Nazis, they must accept gays and their unplanned choice of lifestyle. if they do not, they are no different than nazis, and therefore have the same capabilitied as them.

Which is a moot point since Christians have murdered more innocents under the guise of moral conduct than Nazis since the advent of the religion.

Killing a gay as punishment for that behaviour is no more a Nazi tactic than killing a murderer for his offense.

Did it occur to you that your so called tolerant views "affect other individuals that may not want to be affected."?

As Christians we are to love gays and show them that they are living in an unhealthy manner we do not punish them we simply are to encourage them to choose a different path.. People do stop being gay it is a choice.

Ethereal- you need to read the posts more carefully

No, as Christians who believe in the old testament you are supposed to KILL them. If you can't KILL them, then you must influence them so they go to heaven. If you do not, you are a bad Christian.
