Can't we just drop a nuke on the Vatican

Sorry hope I am misunderstnding you. For a minute there it seemed as if you were implying that homosexual was not only evil, but criminal, by likening homosexuals to mass murderers, sex offenders, and thieves.

Are you saying that being born with a certain sexual preference puts a person in that category?

Homosexuality is very similar to alcoholism and other self destructive sins. It is your right to be an alcoholic and many people are predisposed to it. It is self destructive and a negative force in society. Not a crime, I don't believe in many crimes, but it is an affront to God as I understand it. I think that not having children is a sin. I don't particularly want them myself and it isn't a crime, but it is most certainly socially and morally wrong by my religious standards.

In a way, yes. I view anything pushes people further from God as a sin. I view sin on a static landscape. In a way, all sins are the same. We have different punishments for different crimes based on their severity, but thew wrongness of sins is on a flat line. You can be forgiven as easily for lying as you can for murder, but the temporal or criminal penance is markedly different.

I do not think that personal failures should result in criminal prosecution unless they cause serious harm to someone else.
