re homosexuality issues in christianity in article may geneva rutgers edu djohnson cs ucsd edu darin johnson writes ok what s more important to gay christians sex or christianity christianity i would hope would they be willing to forgo sex completely in order to avoid being a stumbling block to others to avoid the chance that their interpretation might be wrong etc if not why not heterosexuals abstain all the time it would be nice if protestant churches had celibate orders to show the world that sex is not the important thing in life the biblical arguments against homosexuality are weak at best yet christ is quite clear about our obligations to the poor how as christians can we demand celibacy from homosexuals when we walk by homeless people and ignore the pleas for help christ is quite clear on our obligations to the poor thought for the day mat and why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother s eye but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye or how wilt thou say to thy brother let me pull out the mote out of thine eye and behold a beam is in thine own eye the love of christ is contagious mat woe unto you scribes and pharisees hypocrites for ye are like unto whited sepulchres which indeed appear beautiful outward but are within full of dead men s bones and of all uncleanness
