First I'm going to look at your argument from a logical standpoint. You're jumping to conclusions. First of all not all "Christains" believe that homosexuals should be sentenced to death, and you can't exclude an entire group of people from a discussion just because you think their religious background is biased. That's like me saying "people who believe Homosexual marriage is good don't like people who believe homosexual marriage is wrong. People who believe Homosexual marriage is good shouldn't be allowed to speak." You're excluding a HUGE group of people who may have important things to say. Second of all, the bible never condems homosexuals to death, I've read it cover to cover several times now, and nothing says "homosexuals die" The bible refers to sleeping with a man as a sin. HOWEVER, the bible also states that everyone is a sinner. In addition, the bible states that sinners who repent will be forgiven. From this we can draw the conclusion that if a homosexual is a good person, Christianity cannot condemn him because although he may have sinned sexually with another man, perhaps his faith and good deeds outweigh one tiny sin. But that's just my take, and ANYONE can feel free to respond, I'm not going to just exclude people based on my opinion.
