I think you'll find it's the latter most of the time with him.

Please stop projecting your feelings on us. No. I'm not. So man up yourself and stop the bigotry. I keep wanting to think you're better than that.

Bcause as you have been told many times you can't come up with any GOOD reason why same sex commitment should be considered "sin." All you have is prejudice and the inability to answer real questions.

Because no one is running around waving their arms and screaming that porn addicts and alcoholics should not be allowed to be in love and marry or that porn addicts and alcoholics are going to be the cause of the wrath of God on "our nation".

Alcoholics and porn addicts and the others on the list in that post are bringing harm to themselves and others by what they do. Gay people don't hurt anybody just by being gay.

This is not to say those other people should be condemned. They are people who need help to change. Gay people are not in that category. They are just..gay people.

You mean, other than because God says it's sin?

Definition of bigot
: a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance
(Italics MQ's)
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bigot

How is it not bigotry to despise a person for who they are, especially for things beyond their control, such as sexual orientation or race or gender?

Without quoting Bible verses or claiming that God feels as you do, please explain why gay people are not to be accepted as they are.

Does it not boil down just to you finding the idea of someone being attracted to someone of their own sex repulsive simply because you are not attracted to your same sex?

You don't have to actually respond here. I just want you to think about it, BF.

God didn't say that. People did.

I don't have to. I'm not the one that declares it a sin.

Actually, he did. And it's extremely sad that it's even up for debate on a Christianity forum, much less someone such as yourself suggesting that he didn't say that.

What other sins do you deny? Why don't you deny murder as a sin? Rape? Theft?

The only ones suggesting that we despise anyone because of their sexual preferences is your side. Seriously. It's bigotry to obstinately or intolerantly state over and over again despite us saying otherwise that we are doing that.

Seriously. Please stop the bigotry (by your own definition).
