Gay muslims

I think what Nav is saying is that being gay and acting on it is a lifestyle choice, wich sets it apart from other sins like lying and stealing...well actually if you're a politician that could be your lifestyle too :laugh4:
In most christian doctrines sins are forgiven as long as you regret committing them, wich can't really be said if you've made it a central part of your lifestyle.

I don't agree that homosexuality is a sin, and I've got a couple of gay friends myself. But Navaros' beliefs certainly are a way you can interpret the old testament, among others.

"Gay people" are not comparable to "general sinners" for this very reason.

And also because most men think gay sex is "icky," while other sins like, say, having sex before marriage, are at least esthetically pleasing.

I am perfect and not a sinner. Dispute that. :no:

I might as well be gay just to show the hypocrisy of your beliefs, but I can't keep my eyes off the Babe Thread, so...

Prosecution of gays and discrimination of gays because of their lifestyle is like the Jim Crow laws all over again.
