Would you say the same thing if you replaced same sex relations with another form of sexual immorality like a son having sex with his mom? But it's loving! Lev. 18:7
Your reduction of people's relationships to sex acts is despicable, Jeff. Not that this has any relevance, but how do you know all lesbian, gay and bisexual couples have sex?
I'm still waiting on the answer to my original question. If there were no mention whatsoever of "homosexual acts" in the Bible, would you have a problem with it, and if so, why?
There is an unfair power imbalance in incestuous relationships between a parent and child, which is one of the reasons it is wrong. There is no such power imbalance in unrelated same sex couples.
He has the right perspective for us Christians. God loves me no matter what, but He does not accept or condone my sinful behavior. We are not to condemn gays, but neither should we give a stamp of approval to their sin.
Why are you calling homosexuality a sin? That's like saying being blind is a sin. Or being born white - or black - or anything in between. It's not a sin to born the way you are! Don't you get it? Being born in some way is not a sinful behavior.

Or, all straight people for that matter. It's strange, isn't it, that the sum total of a person appears to revolve around the kind of sex they're having? Their characters, their views on love and life and living are all but ignored. But, Christians have always been obsessed with sex. It's the 'taboo' that they can't help but visit and revisit over and over and over again.

It IS a good question and deserves an answer. I think I already know the answer ...

If you have to resort to the crutch of insulting and running Bible believing Christians down to prop up your position then it was a weak position to begin with.
A hero an't nothing but a sandwich
The bible ain't nothing but a book

Of course. Jeff knows that too.
It's something I can't comprehend, why someone would sum up the whole of a person's life in a sex act, one they are likely engaging in themselves. Oral sex I mean, or possibly anal. It doesn't make a difference if it's with an opposite sex partner, it's the same thing. I'm pretty sure I know his answer to my question too.
His comment was completely uncalled and guess what, makes me even less likely to listen to your point of view.
