John 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."

So, since marriage equality just reached another milestone, the argument is "Make them prove their behavior is valid!!" Footstomp.

Why am I not shocked?

So far, this "sin" hasn't affected me in any negative way... other than having to put up with bigotry.

But no one is going to explain this to you because your mind is already made up. You're just here looking for validation of your beliefs.

I am saying (for example) those who practice homosexuality take greater offense at being called out on sin than a murderer or a thief because it becomes part of their identity.

But be prepared for a onslaught on comments and attacks before this thread like most that deal with homosexuality gets shut down after about 2-3000 replies in a 3 day span of going back and forth.
I will keep it civil. Can't speak for others.

Yeah - my mind is made up. Part is faith... part is because of how male/females are designed. There's a common sense behind the faith when you look at how the parts are designed to go together.

I am asking for the other side of this - other than just mere insults and name calling.

Love does not imply that anything goes.

The bible also speaks against incest too in Leviticus, so does that mean as long as I love everyone, that im free to have sexual relations with my close family too?

Love doesn't equal disobedience to our fleshy desires.

That's not what you said. You said "people take more offense to this particular sin than stealing, murder, etc."
