Is this asking too much for gays and lesbians to do?

corny arguments which follow are the reason I'm so happy I'm atheist and proud to live in a secular republic, not some jackwagon theocracy as many vangies would seek to have.

Why is this certain sin treated like its worse than all the others? I love Christian values but I have never understood how someone can go get blasted drunk then scream about being gay being a sin. They are both sins as outlined in the bible. Don't use scripture to vilify others when you will ignore the parts of the scripture that vilify you.
Because people try to overcome other sins, this one they don't

If there wasn’t such a desire to normalize homosexuality, it wouldn’t be such a prevalent topic in sermons.

Stealing? No
Lying? No
Rape? No
Murder? No
Homosexuality? Yes.
That’s why.

I would think a lot of church goers would ask the reverse. Why do gays get so worked up over churches?
For gays, equality under the law and family are two things that the church’s message has served to inhibit.

The reason for this is you are born homosexual and it's not a choice (i'm sure some of you are going to disagree but know you're a dumbass if you do) and GOD doesn't make mistakes so therefore they don't think homosexuality is a sin. Remember the bible was written by men not GOD. The bible has quite a few contridictions in it, one example is the killing of Goliath is not 100% attributed to King David (and he was bi-sexual).
Homosexual traits have been verified in 100's of animal species not just men and unless you're a clempson fan then I doubt you taught that animal how to have gay sex.

You are born a gender

some of the more "primitive" Baptists, etc. still preach that even the consumption of a single drop of alcohol is a sin

True you are born male or female but you do not choose who you are sexually attracted to. I know a guy I grew up with that has slept with women to appease his parents but he is still gay because thats who he is attracted to not women.

But you're creating a dichotomy that doesn't really exist. You're not going to find a lot of pastors who think God is ok with what Olsteen does. There is no generalized Christian acceptance of prosperity gospel.
You sure find a lot of "believers" who are ok with it, though, which is kinda my point. These same people will tell you being gay is somehow unholy, but giving money to Jesse to have an airplane is what God wants from us.

False dichotomy. God hates both sins.
The issue isn’t what sin is worse but why aren’t all sins condemned and repentance preached?
Homosexuality is a sin like others, and like all sins, it needs to be rejected as an acceptable way for Christians to live.
Mr/Mrs Choo, I might not always agree with you on matters of religion, but I respect your consistency.

I guess but the overlap isn't particularly big or representative of Christianity. I mean, your example of hypocrisy isn't necessarily wrong I just don't think it gives much insight into the issue on a far broader level.

I don’t think pedos choose to be attracted to kids.

The church’s treatment of gays has been a great sin.
