That's the refusal to accept someone, in that you believe there is something inherently wrong with them or something that should be fixed. In addition, you're doing so along religious lines, a standard which I feel is "unfair" in that it's not a universal or easily agreed upon standard - in a sense, it's arbitrary.

I view homosexuality in the same lens I would view adultery, theft, liars, etc; that they are rebelling against the will of God

Does that make me bigoted against them?

Yes I believe that all of the above have something wrong with them that needs to be fixed, and that behavior can be fixed by the transforming power of Jesus... but because I believe that does not mean I hate them, or are not accepting of them. Of course I won't accept their sinful behavior, but that doesn't mean I won't accept them as a person or a son of Abraham...

lol

the will of god indeed. Rather the will of a bunch of white guys who wrote a book 2000 years ago that no longer has a place in modern society.

By all means continue to live your life by said book.

I am pretty sure you have done your share of sin...because usually its the one who is crying the loudest about any topic that has the most to hide.

Just admit it, you are a bigot. Gays are icky. And you are afraid they are spreading the gay.

You'll feel better about yourself.

But answer this question as you do. Has gay marriage had a single affect on your life, other then you wasting your time typing about it here on tigerdroppings?

Therein comes the "unfair" part, because I don't think it's fair to find someone morally objectionable based on who they are, particularly if who they are or what they do has no impact on you and your life.

A thief is morally objectionable because he takes SOMEONE ELSE's stuff. How is something like that analogous to homosexuality, which only impacts your life as much as you are willing to let it.
