OK, first I'll state my questions. Then I'll post some ground rules and assumptions for the thread. If you can't follow those, please don't post.... not that I can do anything about it. 
Questions:
Given that the bible has so many passages approving/advocating many behaviors that, over time, have been determined to be inhumane, barbaric, etc... AND that Jesus himself never even addressed the rightness/wrongness of it... how can you justify that its still a sin? Why is HS a sin, but all these other behaviors have been recognized as archaic? However, JC did talk about adultery and divorce and I don't see anywhere near the anger and venom directed toward divorced people and adulterers as I do gays. For instance many churches will not kick them out and they will even let them remarry in their church (I realize Catholicism does not, but they have annulment, which, well... that's another discussion).
Rules:
1. You have to assume the validity of the question. If you disagree w/ my statement about other behaviors that have since been discredited, that's fine. Just DO NOT POST here.
2. Ditto rule #1 regarding what Jesus said. I've read and studied the entirety of the New Testaments and there's no direct comment by Jesus anywhere on HS.
3. Stick to the Bible only. Sorry, no Quran, no Book of Mormon, Dianetics, Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, etc...
4. No hyperbole. Address points and do not make assumptions about the poster nor attack the individual.
5. Do not turn this into a bible quote-a-thon. A quote here or there, sure. But, I want to see you explain in your own words why you feel the way you do. Otherwise, we just end up trying to out google-quote each other. BORING.
6. Assume that most Christian denominations consider HS a sin. Hence another reason not to need tons of passage quoting.
I'm making these rules to help focus the discussion and to prevent people from bringing strawmen or other tangents into the discussion. If you don't like them, that's cool, just don't post here and feel free to create your own thread.
